Q-Sys™ is a complete integrated system that encompasses everything from the audio input to the output of the loudspeakers; it provides all the routing, processing, control and monitoring, while maintaining the audio quality and reliability
QSC has come to be known for.
Physically located near audio sources and destinations, I/O Frames provide the points of connection used to interface Q-Sys with other components of the audio system, such as mixers and power amplifiers.
Each I/O Frame features four card slots, which can support up to four of the following I/O cards, mixed and matched in any configuration: Mic/Line Input card
— Four channels of switchable mic/linelevel analog audio input with 48V phantom power (available with standard or premium pre-amps and A/D converters). Line
Output card — Four channels of balanced, line-level analog output. DataPort
Output card — Four audio output channels (2 DataPorts) for connection to
DataPort equipped QSC amplifiers. AES
Input/Output card — Four input and four output channels of AES-3 digital audio. The I/O Frame will also support a single network card (such as Cobranet, and future cards such as Dante / AVB) to provide a bridge to the Q-Sys Core, up to
16 inputs and 16 outputs.
One of the primary development goals was to create a platform that had nearly unlimited resources; Q-Sys truly lives up to that goal with unrivaled processing breadth and depth. The design interface was created specifically to harness its unmatched power while remaining intuitive and easy to use. The processing tools are extensive and simple to apply. Once the system is designed, you will find that
Q-Sys also offers a useful suite of trouble shooting and measurement tools.
The strength of the centralized architecture used by Q-Sys is that it facilitates the implementation of total or partial system redundancy. A system can be created with Core, Network, I/O Frame and even amplifier redundancy. In a redundant
Q-Sys system, a problem with any of the primary devices will result in the backup device taking over. If, for example the
Core experiences a failure, the backup core automatically takes over ensuring continued flawless operation.
Q-Sys is a powerful and reliable unified system that features rock-solid performance backed by the unrivaled service and support QSC has built its reputation on. For more information please visit www.qscaudio.com/products/ network/Q-Sys.
