Product Overview
The QSC SLCOL-8N-P is a Q-SYS Collaboration Bundle scaling license for the Core Nano and Core 8 Flex that expands these compact processors for larger meeting spaces. This perpetual software license doubles networked audio capacity to 128x128, doubles next-generation AEC processors to 16, doubles Softphone instances to 4, and doubles general-purpose DSP processing — unlocking reserved Core headroom with a simple license activation rather than additional hardware.
Product Description

Q-SYS scaling licenses let integrators add the right capabilities when they are needed. The Collaboration Bundle focuses on resources for meeting and conferencing spaces: it expands maximum AEC processing and available Softphones, increases the number of supported NM Series NM-T1 microphones, unlocks additional all-purpose DSP processing, and raises networked audio channel capacity to 128x128 (Q-LAN/AES67). Together these enable a Core Nano or Core 8 Flex to scale into larger, higher-value rooms such as divisible or multi-purpose spaces. For larger background music and paging applications, see the Commercial AV Bundle (SLCOM-8N-P).
Key Features
- Doubles networked audio to 128x128 — Increases Q-LAN/AES67 channel capacity from the 64x64 base configuration.
- Doubles AEC processors to 16 — Expands next-generation acoustic echo cancellation capacity for conferencing.
- Doubles Softphones to 4 — Adds SIP softphone instances for voice integration.
- Expands NM-T1 microphone support — Increases supported NM Series NM-T1 microphones to a maximum of six.
- Perpetual license, no hardware — Unlocks reserved Core processing headroom via software activation, with no recurring subscription.
Typical Applications
- Divisible and multi-purpose meeting rooms
- Boardroom and large conference room conferencing
- Commercial meeting space UC&C deployments
- All-hands and training room collaboration

* NM Series NM-T1 microphones and third-party microphone AEC processing share similar processing resources; when both are used in the same Q-SYS design, the maximum counts work on a sliding scale.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which processors does the SLCOL-8N-P support?
The Collaboration Bundle scaling license is for the Q-SYS Core Nano and Core 8 Flex.
What does it add over the base configuration?
It doubles networked audio to 128x128, doubles AEC processors to 16, doubles Softphones to 4, increases NM-T1 support to up to six, and roughly doubles DSP processing power.
How is it different from the Commercial AV Bundle?
The Collaboration Bundle targets conferencing and meeting resources (AEC, Softphones, NM-T1). The Commercial AV Bundle (SLCOM-8N-P) targets larger background music and paging, expanding Media/WAN channels and peripheral count instead.
Is this a perpetual or subscription license?
It is a perpetual license, delivered electronically. For activation guidance and support, contact Creation Networks.
