The QSC QIO-24f Q-SYS Network I/O Expander enables interoperability between networked Q-SYS systems and non-networked audio equipment, expanding connectivity for professional audio installations.
The Q-SYS QIO Series is designed to address the I/O requirements of larger systems with high-density audio connectivity in a compact 1RU form factor. The QIO-24f combines mic/line inputs, software-definable Flex channels, line outputs, GPIO, and redundancy capabilities in one networked peripheral.
Flexible I/O deployment: Integrate non-networked audio devices into the Q-SYS Platform and position I/O connectivity where it is needed throughout an installation.
Adaptable system design: Software-definable Flex channels allow the I/O configuration to support changing application requirements.
Redundant operation: Network and peripheral redundancy features help maintain audio availability when supported system configurations experience a fault.
Integrated audio, video, and control: The QIO Series operates within the Q-SYS Full Stack AV Platform, supporting scalable system integration and centralized configuration.
QSC QIO-24f Q-SYS Network I/O Expander Features
- High-Density Networked Audio: Provides 24 audio channels in a single network peripheral.
- Flexible Connectivity: Includes eight mic/line inputs, eight software-definable Flex channels, and eight line-level outputs.
- Network and Peripheral Redundancy: Supports redundant network connectivity and peripheral redundancy for supported system configurations.
- Compact 1RU Design: Full-rack-width form factor helps conserve installation space.
- GPIO Integration: Provides 8 × 8 GPIO connectivity for integrating supported third-party control devices.
- Selectable Phantom Power: Supports configurable +48 VDC phantom power on inputs.
- Microphone Detection: Enables microphone monitoring, usage statistics, and failure notifications on supported inputs.
- Relay-Based Output Muting: Integrated relay mute supports redundant audio output configurations and helps prevent power-up transients.
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet: Two Ethernet ports support redundant networked audio connectivity.
- Flexible Mounting: Supports rack or surface mounting. The optional QIO-CK redundancy cable kit is sold separately.
