Q-SYS Hardware
This section contains links to information for hardware that is specific to the Q-SYS system.
ProcessingThe Core is the Q-SYS central processing unit. The Core processes and routes all audio, controls peripheral devices, and manages firmware updates to connected peripheral devices – all via 1-gigabit Ethernet network.

Network I/O PeripheralsQ-SYS I/O peripherals help connect the power of the Q-SYS Core processor to the outside world of audio.
Peripheral Devices
|
A compact, PoE+ capable networked peripheral that features eight channels that can be configured via software as either a Mic/Line input with phantom power, or a Line Level output. |
||
|
Offers the ability to integrate up to 128 x 128 audio channels in to the Q-SYS system for processing on a separate Q-SYS Core processor. |
||
|
Digital Cinema Input/Output for Q-SYS™ is a cinema-specific interface that serves as the audio I/O for each screen in a Q-SYS enabled cinema complex. |
||

Page StationsAvailable with either gooseneck or handheld microphone (push to talk), the Q-SYS Networked Page Station is a dual-port network device that is fully configurable from Q-SYS Designer. Each station connects to a Q-SYS system via Q-LAN, which handles all audio deliveries to and from the station. The Page Station Expander (PS-X) plugs into the rear of any Q-SYS Page Station via Cat 5e cable and provides an additional handheld microphone.

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. |
