The Q-SYS QIO Series network audio I/O expanders extend your Q-SYS system’s capabilities and enable streamlined interoperability with non-networked
audio devices. By separating local I/O from processing hardware, the QIO Series offer modular and easily scalable network I/O to support your desired topology.
BENEFITS
The right I/O where you need it: QIO Series
network I/O allows you to provide your Q-SYS system with greater flexibility to deploy mic/line audio connectivity where it’s most convenient. Each of the three models featuers a compact form factor that can be rack- or surface-mounted.
Audio I/O models: feature professional mic/line level inputs with +48 VDC phantom power and/
or line outputs to ensure high-performance and compatibility, along with microphone detection on inputs to enable monitoring, usage statistics and failure notifications.
• QIO-ML4i: Four (4) mic/line inputs
• QIO-L4o: Four (4) line outputs
• QIO-ML2x2: Two (2) mic/line inputs and two (2) line outputs
Expanded I/O customization: QIO Series is intended to present a simpler way to add network I/O connectivity to Q-SYS systems, decoupling the physical location of the I/O from processing hardware to support distributed or centralized processing architectures. Additionally, QIO Series lets you customize your I/O configuration, and compliments the strengths of newer Q-SYS Core models that were designed with fewer onboard I/O options (Core Nano, Core 8 Flex, or NV-32-H (Core Capable).
Simplicity & scalability: Daisy-chain up to four of the QIO Series devices on a single network run (with local daisy-chained DC power) to consume fewer network ports, avoid rack clutter, and allow for quicker future expansion without pulling additional network cables. Alternatively, QIO Series are also PoE- capable, providing simple single cable connectivity (when devices aren’t daisy-chained).
Designed for Q-SYS: QIO Series network I/O are native to Q-SYS, a cloud-manageable audio, video and control platform, built to deliver scalable, flexible AV solutions well into the future. At its foundation,
the Q-SYS OS serves as the software foundation
that manages your QIO Series devices along with
a multitude of other native Q-SYS Products in the platform. Additionally, the modern IT architecture and development tools of the Q-SYS Platform enable an entire Ecosystem of third-party devices developed by approved Q-SYS Partners, as well as a worldwide community of Q-SYS developers using the available tools found in Q-SYS Open.
