QSC QIO-TEL2 Q-SYS peripheral providing 2 RJ11 connectors to interface with analog telephony (POTS or PSTN) systems

Q-SYS QIO-TEL2 | Analog Telephony I/O Expander for Q-SYS Systems

Streamlined Analog Telephony Integration for Scalable AV Networks

The Q-SYS QIO-TEL2 enhances your Q-SYS system with native analog telephony connectivity—enabling seamless integration of analog phone lines into your networked AV platform. Designed to support interoperability with legacy systems where VoIP is impractical, this modular expander simplifies telephony routing, paging, and system bridging in professional environments.

With support for two POTS lines and native Q-SYS control, the QIO-TEL2 provides unmatched flexibility for secure and scalable AV deployments in government, enterprise, education, and public infrastructure.

Key Features and Benefits

• Two POTS Phone Line Inputs
  Equipped with two analog telephone line connections (RJ-11), enabling seamless integration with PSTN subscriber lines, PBX systems, paging equipment, and legacy voice systems.
• Flexible Installation
  Mounts easily in tight spaces with a compact 1RU, quarter-width form factor. Includes surface-mount hardware and supports both rack or wall installation.
• Decoupled Network I/O
  Separates I/O hardware from processing for more adaptable system topology—ideal for distributed or centralized Q-SYS Core deployments (Core Nano, Core 8 Flex, NV-32-H Core Capable).
• Simplified Cabling and Expansion
• Daisy-chain up to four QIO devices using a single network line and shared local DC power
• PoE capable for single-cable installation in standalone deployments
• Native Q-SYS Integration
  Easily managed via Q-SYS Designer Software and monitored remotely through Q-SYS Reflect Enterprise Manager.
• Future-Ready AV Infrastructure
  Purpose-built for environments where analog systems remain critical, yet full integration into a modern networked AV framework is essential.

Ideal Applications

• Government Facilities
• Higher Education Campuses
• Healthcare Systems
• Corporate Buildings
• Houses of Worship
