QSC QIO-AES8x8 – Q-SYS 8-Channel AES3 Digital Audio I/O Expander
Product Overview
The QSC QIO-AES8x8 is a Q-SYS network I/O expander providing 8 channels of AES3 (AES/EBU) digital audio input and 8 channels of AES3 digital audio output. It bridges the Q-SYS network audio ecosystem with professional digital audio equipment that uses AES3 — including digital mixing consoles, broadcast equipment, digital signal processors, and recording systems — at distributed room or rack locations without requiring analog conversion at the Core chassis. Like all QIO expanders, it integrates natively with any Q-SYS Core processor and is managed in Q-SYS Designer Software.
Key Features
- 8 AES3 digital inputs + 8 AES3 digital outputs — Direct digital connectivity to broadcast consoles, digital audio processors, and professional recording equipment.
- Native Q-SYS integration — AES3 I/O routable directly in Q-SYS Designer alongside all other network and analog sources.
- No analog conversion required — Maintains digital signal integrity throughout the signal chain.
- Distributed AES3 connectivity — Place at stage, FOH, or equipment rack; Ethernet carries signals to/from Core.
