Core 1100, 3100
This topic provides information about the Q-SYS Core 1100 and Core 3100.
Note: This product is discontinued. Reference the Core 5200 replacement model. For Core 1100 and Core 3100 installation instructions and specs, see the Discontinued Products page.
Type 2 Hardware
Type 2 hardware provides new cables and connectors between the I/O cards and main boards in Cores and I/O Frames. Due to this change, the Type 2 hardware is not physically compatible with the older hardware. You can still integrate the new I/O Frames and Cores in the same system with older hardware, but the I/O cards are not interchangeable. Type 2 hardware can be identified by a yellow label on the back of the Core and I/O Frame, and the bottom of the I/O cards.
Multi-Track Player (MTP) Upgrades
The available storage capability for audio files and design files depends on the Multi-Track Player option purchased with the Core. The MTP upgrade options use an upgraded media drive. (Available hard drive size varies.)
- Standard - 16 tracks
- Upgrade MTP-32 - 32 tracks
- Upgrade MTP-64 - 64 tracks
- Upgrade MTP-128 - 128 tracks
CAUTION: If you upgrade your hard drive, you will lose any files you had on the flash drive. Back up the files prior to upgrading.
