Quick Start Guide to using MagicQ consoles
Introduction
This document is intended to enable you to get up and running with MagicQ consoles. It is designed to introduce the
layout of the console along with the key functions. It then runs through patching a show, recording Cues and Cue
Stacks and show playback.
This guide is not a substitute for the MagicQ manual. The manual provides detailed information on all the standard
and advanced features of the console. The manual is available from ChamSys website at www.chamsys.co.uk. The
manual is also available on the console - simply press the Help button and use hyperlinks to navigate to the topic you
are interested in.
MagicQ software is being continually improved – please use the information in this manual as a guide only – detailed
information on new features and changes are available in the software changes logs on our web site.
MagicQ Consoles
The MagicQ range of consoles includes the MagicQ MQ100 Pro, MagicQ MQ200 Pro, MagicQ MQ300 Pro, Magic
MQ100 Xpert and the MagicQ MQ50. All the consoles run the same operating system and MagicQ software – they
just vary in styling, number of faders and buttons, and choice of internal or external screen.
