channels, there’s no need to cascade
multiple units to form a central matrix.
A single Q-Sys Core supports more than
enough paging capacity for even the
largest facilities.
• Networked Page Stations — Ruggedly
built to withstand daily use, our line of
desktop and wall-mount page stations
are powered over Ethernet and offer
secure access, high-fidelity gooseneck
or handheld microphones, and
capacitive touch buttons rather than
failure-prone push buttons.
• Scriptable control — Q-Sys scripting
capabilities allow paging functions to
be added or customized as needed for
your installation. For example, Q-Sys can
be enabled to communicate with visual
displays or building management systems
using their serial or Ethernet protocols.
• PA Router — Designed to support live
and delayed paging, as well as scheduled
messaging, the PA Router provides
functions such as announcement
recording, live page routing, triggered
playback, and event scheduling.
Q-Sys Networked Page Stations
Available 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. Two Q-LAN
network interfaces are provided, allowing
each station to connect to two switch
ports or to be deployed on two separate
networks to support a variety of redundant
operation modes for mission-critical
applications. The network port also delivers
power to the page station using PoE
(Power over Ethernet).
The Page Station front-panel's user
interface includes a capacitive touchpad
that offers visible feedback and audible
cues. Paging status, alerts, and operational
details are also reported via illuminated
status indicators and a built-in 240 x 64
monochrome graphics LCD display.
The Page Station rear panel auxiliary audio
inputs accommodate accessories such as
a secondary microphone (located near
the gangway or rail platform) or other local
sources. An auxiliary output can drive a local
amplifier, powered loudspeaker or other
destination device. And a GPIO interface
can be configured to use external events to
affect paging operation or to be the source
of events to affect external control systems.
Q-Sys Networked Page Stations are
designed for both desktop and wall-
mounted installation. All models include
a microphone, either handheld (H) or
gooseneck (G). The handheld is a push-
to-talk, dynamic paging microphone with
a unique magnetic docking system and
cable strain relief for flexible placement
when not in use. The gooseneck is a high-
fidelity dynamic microphone optimized for
paging applications. Four Networked Page

• PS-1600H/G — 16 buttons total, including
four command buttons (command
code A-D). Also includes a numeric
keypad and supports security features

Paging Peripherals
Paging is a key function in a huge
variety of installed sound applications
including shopping malls, convention
centers, corporate offices, military bases,
transportation terminals, theme parks,
factories, health care facilities, and
campuses. Q-Sys™ offers a suite of tools
that provide sophisticated paging and
messaging functionality to support any
sized paging application.
Q-Sys paging advantages
Q-Sys offers a number of paging-specific
advantages that sets it apart from
alternativeapproaches:
• Simple, integrated platform — Q-Sys
enables paging with a vastly simplified bill
of materials. Features such as Playback,
Record, and Store-and-Forward for
example, are all stored to the Q-Sys Core.
Competing systems require separate,
expensive hardware.
• Ample paging capacity — With Cores
supporting up to 1024 total network
