Audio (I/O Peripherals)

Q-SYS I/O peripherals help connect the power of the Q-SYS Core processor to the outside world of audio. I/O cards provide connectivity to analog and digital sources and destinations, while the I/O-Frame and I/O-22 allow local or remote inputs or outputs anywhere that a standard Gigabit Ethernet network is available with connectivity back to the Core.
I/O-8 Flex Channel Expander
The Q-SYS™ I/O-8 Flex Channel Expander adds a multitude of expansion capabilities to the Q-SYS Ecosystem in a compact, capable networked peripheral that can be remotely located wherever the I/O is required
- 8 flex channels (software configurable as either a mic/line input with phantom power, or a Line Level output)
- Audio-to-USB Bridging for integration with soft-codec applications for host PC
- Control connectivity via GPIO and RS232
- Versatile mounting accessories included
- PoE+ or external power supply (not included)

Core 510i (in I/O Frame mode)
When deployed in “I/O Frame mode”, the Q-SYS Core 510i processor offers the ability to integrate up to 128 x 128 audio channels in to the Q-SYS system for processing on a separate Q-SYS Core. It can accommodate any combination of Q-SYS Type-II I/O cards. This is particularly useful when integrating large numbers of networked audio channels from Dante™, CobraNet™ or AVB™ devices and subsystems in to the Q-SYS Ecosystem.
- Card Capacity: 8
- Maximum Channel count: 128x128
- Control connectivity via GPIO and RS232

I/O Frame
The Q-SYS I/O Frame can be used to physically locate input and output connections near their sources and destinations. Each I/O Frame features four card slots, which can support up to four I/O cards, mixed and matched in any configuration.
- Card Capacity: 4
- Maximum Channel count: Up to 16 analog/AES/CobraNet™/Dante™/AVB™
- Control connectivity via GPIO and RS232

I/O-22
The Q-SYS I/O-22, is a compact, standalone unit designed for use when audio sources and destinations are physically spread out, such as the individual seats in a conferencing system or individual rooms in a multi-room venue. Providing two mic/line inputs and two line outputs, the I/O-22 is ideal for applications such as legislative or judicial chambers, meeting rooms, ballrooms, ancillary zones, classrooms, VIP suites, and stage patching.
- Maximum Channel count: 2x2
- Includes an 8.5 watt mono amplifier to drive a local monitor speaker
- Control connectivity via GPIO and RS232

I/O Cards
I/O cards provide connectivity to analog and digital sources and destinations include high quality mic/line input cards, line output, as well as bridge network cards for Dante™, AVB™, CobraNet™ and more.
