MagicQ Rack

MagicQ Rack – 1U rackmount unit for fixed installations and architectural lighting

The MagicQ Rack is the rackmount version of the MagicQ range, specifically designed for fixed installations, architectural environments, and complex AV integrations. Compact in a 19" 1U format, it runs the same operating system as physical MagicQ consoles, while being optimized for operation without a physical user interface.

MagicQ Rack provides 24 native DMX universes, expandable to 48 universes via license. It features 2 × 5-pin DMX outputs with RDM support, built-in WiFi for remote programming, a network port, and 4× 10Scene ports allowing connection of up to 40 x 10Scene Wall Plates for full, intuitive wall-mounted control.

The front panel includes 10 physical buttons dedicated to Playbacks and Executes, offering a simple and reliable way to trigger pre-programmed scenes, presets, or lighting moods. MagicQ Rack is fully compatible with all MagicQ tools: OSC, MIDI, MIDI Timecode, UDP, scheduled events, as well as advanced functions such as pixel mapping and multi-element fixture control.

Ideal for theatres, museums, multipurpose venues, houses of worship, ambient lighting systems, or architectural installations, the MagicQ Rack can be used as a stand-alone workstation or mounted in a rack using the included rack ears.
