Q-Sys™ is a complete, integrated platform
for audio system routing, control,
processing, monitoring, and configuration.
Built on state-of-the-art technology,
Q-Sys is optimized for the rigorous
demands of large-scale applications,
efficiently and reliably addressing every
aspect of a facility’s audio needs. From
inputs to loudspeakers, Q-Sys maintains
the top-notch sound quality for which
QSC is renowned while providing user-
friendly management of complex audio
requirements. Wherever audio systems
are installed, Q-Sys is the ideal solution for
powerful system-wide control.
Components
The primary elements of a Q-Sys system
are the Core, the I/O Frame, Q-Sys
Designer software, and the Q-LAN network.
The Core is the brain of the system;
performing all audio routing, processing,
and control functions. I/O Frames provide
the interfacing capability that gets audio
and other data into and out of the system.
Q-Sys Designer provides the interface for
system design, configuration, and control.
And Q-LAN connects the system into an
integrated whole. Additional application-
specific functionality may be added with
optional hardware components such as the
Q-Sys Page Station and the TSC-8 Touch
Screen Controller.
Q-Sys™ Core
With a centralized processing architecture
based on mainstream server and workstation
technology, the Q-Sys Core has several
distinct advantages over competing systems.
Because the Core isn’t locked into a narrow,
proprietary platform, Q-Sys hardware and
software will always be able to keep pace
with the latest developments in the overall
IT industry. And our centralized approach to
Rethink everything... We did.
