XC-3 2-way Crossover | SF-3 Subwoofer Filter |
LF-3 Low-Frequency Filter
The XC-3 is an active, 2-way crossover module that mounts to the rear panel DataPort of select
2-channel QSC amps (DCA,PL2, PL3, CX, ISA). A
3-way crossover can be implemented using the
XC-3’s low-frequency high-pass filter with the LF-3.
• 4th order Linkwitz-Riley filters (24 dB/octave), low frequencies routed to channel 1 and highs to channel 2.
• All-pass filter delay for time alignment of low- and high-frequency drivers
• Trim control (0-20 dB attenuation) to balance the frequency bands.
• High-frequency channel offers boosts up to 10 dB for equalizing constantdirectivity horns.
The SF-3 provides subwoofer signal processing without the need for a conventional crossover.
To conserve cost and rack space, the unit mounts to the rear panel DataPort of select 2-channel QSC amps (DCA, PL2, PL3, CX, ISA).
• 4th order Linkwitz-Riley low-pass filter may be set to 80, 150 or 250 Hz.
• Subsonic filter offers roll-off frequencies in the range 20-50 Hz to prevent driver over-excursion.
• Trim control (0-20 dB of attenuation) allows balancing the various frequency bands.
Amplifiers 29
The LF-3 low-frequency filter, when used with the XC-3
2-way crossover, creates a 3-way active crossover system. Mounting to the rear panel of select, 2-channel
QSC amps (DCA, PL2, PL3, CX, ISA), the LF-3 is comprised of two discrete channels with 4th order
Linkwitz-Riley low-pass filters (24 dB/octave slope).
• Delay on each channel for loudspeaker time-alignment
• Trim control (0-20 dB of attenuation) to match levels.
• One amp-mounted LF-3 can support up to three amplifiers (including in stereo) with XC-3 installed accessories

The World’s Most Powerful Network Audio Solution
Core 1000 / 3000 / 4000
Q-Sys is the world’s most powerful yet simple network audio solution available... period. With the bandwidth to handle even the most complex configurations, Q-Sys is ready for any job, from boardrooms and clubs to airports and stadiums.
Built from the ground up on a powerful, open, IT-friendly foundation, the
Q-Sys platform transcends the limitations in scope, performance, and usability that keep other network audio control systems from reaching their full potential.
Enterprise Cores
The Q-Sys Core is at the heart of the Q-Sys system and runs QSC-developed
DSP algorithms under a customized Linux operating system running on Intel ® microprocessors and motherboards. This Intel hardware already meets industry-best reliability standards and is used in many of the world’s most mission-critical projects.
There are five Q-Sys Core models tailored to the meet the varying requirements of different facilities. For large scale installations, the Core 1000
(supports 128 flex channels), Core 3000 (supports 128 x128 channels) and
Core 4000 (supports 512 x 512 channels) are designed to work with one or more remote I/O Frames.
Digital | Network 77
Core 250i / 500i
Integrated Cores
The Core 250i/500i Integrated Cores bring the power of the larger Q-Sys
Cores to applications requiring lower channel count. Integrated Cores can accommodate up to eight internal Q-Sys input and/or output cards for a total onboard channel capacity of 32 channels (more if AES or CobraNet ™ cards are used). Channel count may be further expanded by the addition of Q-Sys
I/O Frames and other peripheral devices.
• Layer 3 networking ensures Q-Sys can run on the backbone of existing IT infrastructure eliminating the need for a dedicated audio network.
• Simple flexible architecture — Centralized processing allows the routing of any input to any output without variable-latency signal paths.
• Hardware-independent processing — advances in processing power are driven by advances in the global IT industry.
• Fewer potential failure points — digitally wired and routed signal paths within the processing Core maximizes system reliability and minimizes the number of required interconnections.
• System redundancy — all Cores can serve as a backup and upon sensing failure of the primary Core immediately assume all system functions ensuring fail-safe redundancy dependability for mission-critical applications.
