QSC Core 8 Flex
Features & Benefits
- 64 x 64 networked audio channels (Q-LAN / AES67)
- 8x on-board Flex channels and GPIO
- 8x AEC processors
- up to 32 x 32 Dante audio channels (8 x 8 included)
- USB AV bridging (8 x 8 audio + Q-SYS camera support)
- Full-featured Q-SYS Control engine (with optional feature license)
- External USB audio device host
- Up to 2x VoIP instances
- 1U half-width, includes mounting hardware
- Network plus on-board I/O
- In addition to its 64 x 64 network I/O capacity, the Core 8 Flex offers eight on-board Flex channels and eight GPIO on-ramps to integrate analog audio and control devices into the Q-SYS Ecosystem. Ideal for in-room processing with both analog & networked endpoints.
Rightsized. Uncompromised
Rather than deploying an AV&C processor with unused analog I/O that occupies a full rack space, Core 8 Flex offers a smaller solution with several mounting options. However, its smaller form factor does not compromise on functionality; instead Core 8 Flex delivers a full featured control engine for third-party device control, full paging and BGM capabilities, automation, monitoring and beyond.
Optimized for the Meeting Space
The Core 8 Flex provides the AV infrastructure to enable full room web conference integration, particularly for larger, more challenging spaces. It features USB integration with all major web conferencing applications, eight channels of acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), two VoIP softphones, Software-based Dante to enable modern microphones, and a full-featured control engine for third-party device integration.
Reduce Complexity and improve scalability with the Q-SYS Platform
The Q-SYS Core 8 Flex joins a growing lineup of AV&C processors built on a flexible software foundation. Like all Q-SYS Core processors, the Core 8 Flex lets integrators take full advantage of the same Q-SYS software suite to design and configure systems. End users can take full advantage of all native Q-SYS peripherals and the system’s ability to scale your system without having to rip-and-replace your configuration file, as well as receive the latest platform functionality upgrades and security updates from QSC through a simple firmware update.
