QSC Attero Tech C1 – Axon Single-Gang Networked Audio Zone Controller

Product Overview

The Attero Tech Axon C1 by QSC is a single-gang networked audio zone controller that gives commercial spaces a simple, wall-mounted way to control volume, mute, and presets without a full touch panel. As an Ethernet-based wall controller for the Q-SYS ecosystem, it pairs a high-contrast OLED display with a rotary encoder and an RGB LED bar for clear local control in conference rooms, hospitality AV, and retail environments. The C1 integrates into Q-SYS through a control plugin that requires no custom programming, and it can also control third-party AV equipment over UDP or TCP/IP.

Product Description

The Axon C1 is an assignable control solution for networked AV systems built around a small-format, single-gang Decora in-wall design. A 1.5-inch diagonal OLED display and a rotary/pushbutton encoder give end users straightforward control over assigned AV system functions, while a second pushbutton toggles menus and an adjustable-brightness RGB LED bar provides optional feedback for zone level and system state. The controller is PoE powered, so a single CAT-5e/CAT-6 cable handles both power and communication for a clean, unobtrusive installation. Menus are customized with the unIFY Control Panel and mapped through the Q-SYS Designer plugin, which removes the need for custom programming during AV system integration. Because the C1 is Ethernet-based, it can control virtually any third-party audio DSP or AV equipment supporting UDP or TCP/IP, making it well suited to commercial deployment across multiple venue types. Black and white Decora faceplates are included to match a range of interiors.
