Overview
The Q-SYS QIO-AES8x8 expands your Q-SYS system’s capabilities to enable streamlined interoperability with non-networked digital audio devices via AES3 connectivity. By separating local I/O from processing hardware, the QIO Series offer modular and easily scalable network I/O to support your desired topology.
Features
- Native network digital audio connectivity solution for Q-SYS
- Four (4) stereo pairs of AES3 digital inputs and four (4) stereo pairs of AES3 digital outputs (8 input and output channels total)
- Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) capable
- Daisy-chain up to four QIO expanders on a single network run (with local daisy-chained DC power)
- Simple drag-and-drop integration and comprehensive management via Q-SYS Designer Software and Q-SYS Reflect
- Surface- or rack-mountable (1RU, quarter width)
- Includes surface mounting hardware
