Q-SYS™ is a complete integrated system that encompasses everything from the audio input to the output of the loudspeakers; it provides all the routing, processing, control and monitoring, while maintaining the audio quality and reliability QSC has come to be known for. The Core is the brain of the system, it receives and sends audio to/from the I/O Frame and Page Station that are local to the audio inputs and outputs. The Core performs all audio processing and handles all control functions. It manages QSC control devices such as the TSC Series as well as other control interfaces, recalls snapshots, provides logic functions and executes scripted commands. The Core 1100 represents the second generation of Q-SYS Enterprise Cores, and truly leverages the faster development cycle of the Intel platform, with more than double the processing power of the model it supersedes at virtually no extra cost. The Core 1100 provides up to 256 x 256 low latency, network audio network channels and 96x AEC processing channels, using a pair of the latest generation XEON 4-core processors coupled to server grade cooling towers. Additional features include super-sized, low-speed fans for maximum front-to-rear airflow with minimal fan noise, and a premium field serviceable power-supply.
