Chauvet Pro CHAMMQ250M
Serious show control in a console built to travel. The Chauvet Pro MagicQ MQ250M Stadium (CHAMMQ250MWITHCASE) controls up to 128 universes directly, with no external processing required, using the familiar MagicQ software. All DMX universes are available straight from the rear network ports via sACN, Art-Net, and Pathport, giving you immediate access to large systems without extra nodes or complexity. The motorized playback section adapts quickly to different show needs using shortcut buttons that reassign functions on the fly, making it perfect for both busking and tightly structured shows. Dual 100 mm crossfade faders, paired with large GO and BACK buttons, deliver a theater-ready control experience. Plus, it features an integrated UPS and arrives with its own dedicated road case for true standalone lighting control on the go.
