IAC Qatar add the MagicQ MQ500 Stadium Console to their inventory. The MQ500 was put straight to work for the Qatar International Food Festival 2018.
Dion Da Costa (Head of lighting) comments on using the MQ500 for the first time: I had the pleasure of working with the MagicQ MQ500 Stadium console. Qatar International Food Festival was my first time using the MQ500 console, I had assumed that it would take time to get the hang of its new layout, but it didn’t. I found so man...y great and useful features like the updated console layout, extra playbacks and dedicated execute keys that made it very easy to work with.

Lighting Designer and Operator Matt Waterfield calls on his MagicQ MQ80 Compact console with Extra wing for extra playbacks and MQ70 console providing full tracking backup for Erasure's "World Be Gone" tour.
Waterfield comments “I started with a Maxi Wing and touch screen, which was then replaced with the MQ70, and later the MQ80, through every step of my career, the ChamSys products have been user-friendly, intuitive and reliable, making it easy for me to run my shows without worrying about my desk. They’ve just always been there as dependable and versatile tools.”

Above and Beyond tour with ChamSys MQ500 Stadium console.
Lighting Designer Neil Marsh comments: “The first time I used the MQ500 was for a Disney Gala at Camden Roundhouse in London in early 2017, I’ve been a big fan ever since. The screen space is huge. I like that there are busking regions for fast busking of color and effects from the execute window, as well as regions for color picker applications. Plus, the onboard Visualiser is really helpful.”
