Nicholas Valdez was surprised, but not by the Command Wing XT’s simple 3D programming, sturdy hardware, or tactile control panel (10 motorized 60mm faders, 2 motorized A/B faders 100mm, as well as a 1 Level-Wheel). No, he was surprised that all he had to do was attach a monitor, plug in the power cable, and bam, he was controlling his fixtures.

“I didn’t know this was the full on-board one that, like, you could operate it by itself kind of thing. So I was like, okay, let me go get my computer stuff. And then when I unboxed it, one of the other guys with me was like, ‘Oh no, it’s a full-on console by itself.’ Get a couple of screens, and it’s up and going.”
Nicholas is the lighting director at Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California, a multi-site church with over 10,000 in weekly attendance. Speed and ease of use are key to their production, and in this video, Nicholas shared with us how the new offering from MA Lighting quickly dropped into their workflow with smart customization and virtually no setup. He also touched on the unit’s intelligent 3D stage plot that works with the operator to design universes or quickly integrate existing light spaces and turn them into sequences that elevate the hard work of worship teams.
MA’s new offering is a contender for any church looking for a long-term upgrade to their lighting desk that is familiar to a seasoned director but easy enough to teach a new weekend volunteer, all at a sensible price point in compact, run-and-gun hardware. Take a couple of quick minutes to see the hands-on experience with the grandMA3 onPC command wing XT with Nicholas at Riverside Church and our good friend Marcel Patillo. And afterward, be sure to take a look at the spec sheet to get a handle on everything the Command Wing XT has to offer.
