AccessoriesQ-SYS accessories are non-network system add-ons for mission-critical installations and life safety requirements. You can add auto-switching power amplifier redundancy (up to eight channels per accessory) and automated verification of loudspeaker line integrity, even in real time.
Accessories
|
PTL-1 |
The Pilot Tone Load Accessory, used in combination with QSC DataPort or CXD platform amplifiers, allows the Q-SYS system to monitor shorts, opens, and other faults in a loudspeaker line, even in real time. |
|
|
The DataPort Amplifier Backup Panel provides the ability to add true N+1 amplifier redundancy to any Q-SYS system, plus the ability to automatically switch amplifier input sources from a primary I/O Frame to a backup I/O Frame. |
