Lighting Pros Level Up with ChamSys
We're proud to have recently welcomed Trevor Faulknor from Peak Productions back into the MDR Sound & Lighting showroom — this time to expand his ChamSys setup with the purchase of a MagicQ Compact Wing, complementing his already existing ChamSys MQ50 console.
Known for his creative lighting work and sharp technical eye, Trevor’s setup just got a serious boost in functionality and flexibility — thanks to the additional faders, executors, and control surface offered by the Compact Wing.
Hands-On with Tank
To ensure everything was dialled in and ready to go, MDR’s own ChamSys enthusiast Aaron ‘Tank’ Shirriffs sat down (stood up?) with Trevor for a hands-on walk-through of the new wing. Over coffee and a LED glow, the pair explored:
Wing-to-console connectivity
Layout and patching tips for live operation
Real-world programming applications
Pro tricks for busking, soft palettes, FX control and layout page setup
This is what we love — industry pros getting together, talking gear, and unlocking even more creativity through the right tools and support.
The Magic of MagicQ
For those unfamiliar, the MagicQ Compact Wing is a powerful expansion surface built to work seamlessly with ChamSys consoles like the MQ50. It's designed for operators who need tactile access to multiple playbacks, pages, and execution options — perfect for tour-ready pros and permanent installs alike.
