Southampton Guildhall Goes Magic Q!

Southampton Guildhall Goes Magic Q!

Southampton Guildhall has recently upgraded its lighting control system with the purchase of a Chamsys MQ100 console, playback wing, and Capture design/visualisation software. They’d been keeping an eye on the desk since it first came onto the market, and after looking around at the competition and extensive demonstrations and trials, when the budget became available for the upgrade had no hesitation in placing the order.

   The console went straight into use servicing a wide range of events including student balls, graduation ceremonies, corporate dinner dances, concerts and comedy shows, controlling the in house Avolites Art 4000 dimmers, with a mixture of in house and sub hired equipment including Pars, ETC Source 4s, ACLs, blinders, strobes, hazers, Martin and Robe automated spots, and Colorblock LED fixtures.

   The desk gives us full control of the existing house rig, with much greater flexibility than we’ve had before, along with the capacity to cope with pretty much every show we get thrown at us with its 12 universes, and on board features for LED fixtures, and should a client have the budget, enhanced features for the control of media servers. It’s a fantastic console, that ticks all the boxes for a wide range of users, - and we haven’t found anything it can’t do yet! The support and training from Southampton based Chamsys has also been fantastic from our earliest enquiries through to recent training courses held by the company.
