in performance and respond with
appropriate maintenance before
component failure results in costly
downtime. Alerts may also be scheduled
to prompt regular maintenance.
• Remote status reporting — System
status can be checked remotely
from any location with an Internet
connection. Amplifier status, channel
status, channel metering, and channel
monitoring are all available for display
via any Q-Sys control panel. The system
can also alert the operator to issues at
the first sign of unusual activity.
• Remote diagnostics — DataPort
enables the use of Q-Sys diagnostic
tools to troubleshoot issues remotely.
• Optimization and protection — When
selected QSC loudspeakers, subwoofers
or line arrays are configured and
connected to a DataPort amplifier,
Q-Sys automatically supplies tailored
settings for Intrinsic Correction
™
,
crossover, and other DSP parameters.
Q-Sys even calculates peak voltage
limiter settings based on the specific
QSC amplifier to prevent the over
driving of loudspeakers.

Designer
Q-Sys Designer is a software application
that provides the interface for design,
configuration, and control of the Q-Sys
system. The strength of Designer lies in
its combination of power and simplicity.
Remarkably intuitive and easy to use for
even the most complex audio systems,
Q-Sys Designer enables straightforward
and detailed configuration, giving system
managers powerful control without clutter
or complication.
Powerful system control
While Q-Sys Designer’s interface is
straightforward, the system’s capabilities
aredeepandpowerful:
• Mixing and routing — Mix signal from
any input with any other input, and
route it to any output.
• DSP processing — Apply a complete
range of DSP processing including EQ,
dynamics, crossovers, delays
and Acoustic Echo Cancellation.
• Speaker optimization — QSC loud-
speakers benefit from optimized,
pre-specified voicings in Q-Sys. For
non-QSC speaker models, “custom”
configurations can be created, named,
and used throughout the system.
• System supervision — Monitor the
status, on-site or remotely, of the
Q-Sys system and all QSC
DataPort amplifiers.
• Real time metrics — Insert meters
and virtual test probes anywhere in
the signal path to take real-time
measurements and remotely
diagnose and correct issues.
• Acoustical analysis — Connect a
measurement microphone for on-
site acoustical measurements.
• Event logging — Keep a history of
system performance and events
using integrated logging tools.
In short, Q-Sys Designer provides every-
thing you need to configure, operate,
and maintain your audio system at
peak performance, and does so in a
centralized environment that is at once
straightforward and powerful.
