Q-SYS meets the demand for scalable, future-proof solutions with a software-based processors that runs on Intel processors. This unique design delivers an abundance of processing power to support add-on requests like AEC and AV-to-USB Bridging—minus unexpected costs and time-consuming implementations.
- Complete solution that minimizes complexity: While the Q-SYS Platform are fully interoperable with other brands, AV channel partners who implement the complete Q-SYS solution minimize complexity, increase reliability, and experience the convenience of a single point of contact for support. Also provide minimal SKUs with multiple configurations.
- Ease of use: A streamlined user interface that allows remote access makes Q-SYS easy to design, install, commission, operate, and maintain.
- Reliability: Field proven for over 45 years, QSC dependability guarantees that you can trust Q-SYS for mission critical deployments.
- Support: Our global support network is standing by and ready to help 24/7, assisting in keeping you running at all times.
Built on a powerful, open, IT-friendly foundation, the Q-SYS platform excels in terms of scope, performance, and usability – a rare find in the world of network audio control systems. Fusing unparalleled capabilities and performance with superior reliability and support, Q-SYS provides unmatched value for institutions across the spectrum of installed sound.
Q-SYS Core Family
Introducing the most powerful software based DSP solutions in the world for audio, video and control! The Q-SYS Core lies at the very heart of the Q-SYS system and runs custom QSC DSP algorithms under a specialized Linux operating system running on Intel® microprocessors and motherboards. This Intel hardware already stands as the best in regards to performance standards and is used in several of the world’s most mission critical initiatives.

New Unified Core
The Q-SYS™ Core 110f is the newest addition to the Q-SYS Core family, supplying a solution for small, single room projects up to the biggest Enterprise scale deployments. The continuity of the Q-SYS software based DSP platform, the Q-SYS Core 110f utilizes every feature available across the entire Q-SYS platform. The smaller core in the 110f is perfect for the following:
- acoustic echo canceling & sound reinforcement in small – large meeting or multipurpose rooms
- sound reinforcement in performance facilities (ie houses of worship and theater)
- background music systems
- wide-area paging in airports, convention centers & hospitals

Integrated Cores
The Q-SYS™ Core 500i Integrated Core offers the power of the larger Q-SYS Cores, but for mid-sized applications. Integrated Cores can support up to eight internal Q-SYS input and/or output cards for a total onboard channel capacity of 32 channels (or more if AES, Dante™, CobraNet™ cards are utilized), and up to 128 network channels. Channel count may be further enlarged by the addition of Q-SYS I/O Frames and other external devices.

Enterprise Cores
There are two separate Q-SYS™ Enterprise Core models, both specifically designed to meet the demands of large scale installations. The Core 1100 (256×256 network channels), and Core 3100 (512×512 network channels) have been tailored to work with various I/O Frames, page stations and CXD-Q network amplifiers, with each of these different peripherals placed remotely throughout the venue.

Q-SYS Controllers: TSC-7w and TSC-7t
The TSC-7 is available in two distinct versions, the wall version (TSC-7w), and the tabletop version (TSC-7t). The TSC-7 brings together the innovative touch technology with a bright 400 nits, 800 x 480 full color LCD for cutting-edge control of a Q-SYS system. Touchscreen control is the perfect user interface for sophisticated systems where control needs can range from a few basic parameters to recall of global snapshots. The TSC-7w can be used to control much more than simply audio; a wide array of equipment can be controlled using the Q-SYS Core’s GPIO and TCP/IP instruction mechanisms providing actual one touch control of third party devices.
TSC-7w Key Features:
- Consolidate Dialing and Control: In addition to the dialing capability for your conferences, this 7-inch screen (800px x 480px) can control a plethora of third party devices common in boardrooms and meeting rooms through the Core (no additional control processor box needed).
- Capacitive Touch Technology: Eliminates physical knobs and buttons optimizes product dependability.
- Single drop PoE cabling: Ethernet connection haves for simplified wire terminations w/ out the need for more power wiring.
- Redundancy Options: TSC-7w supplies two network ports for connection back to the Q-SYS™ Core.
