The Q-SYS™ Core 110f provides a solution
for small, single room allowing the Q-SYS
platform to accommodate every-day,
simple projects up to the largest Enterprise
scale deployments. QSC’s software based
DSP Platform Q-SYS, gives the systems
integrator and end-user a unified software
design tool and feature set suitable for
projects of any scale. The continuity of the
Q-SYS software based DSP platform is
unique within the competitor space and
allows the Q-SYS Core 110f to leverage
all the features that are available across
the entire Q-SYS Platform to be used in
the following applications: Acoustic Echo
Canceling (AEC) and sound reinforcement
in small to large meeting or multipurpose
rooms, sound reinforcement in performance
venues such as house of worship and
theater, background music systems, wide
area paging in airports, convention centers
and hospitals.
The Q-SYS Core 110f is a multipurpose
software based digital audio signal
processor with a total of 8 balanced analog
line level audio inputs and 8 balanced
analog line level audio outputs. In addition
to the fixed 8x8 analog audio I/O, the Core
110f features a software definable bank
of 8 balanced analog audio Input/Output
Flex Channels, a unique QSC innovation,
where each channel can be independently
configured during design or run time as
either a microphone/line level input or a line
level output. As such, the Core 110f offers
class leading 24 analog I/O density plus
additional specialized I/O such as VoIP,
POTS, Internal Media Playback/Recording
HDD and USB.
The Q-SYS Core 110f supports a class
leading USB audio device port connection
that enables the processor to appear in
a Microsoft Windows or Mac OS host
operating system simultaneously as
both a USB Audio and Communications
device. The USB Device port (B type)
implementation supports up to 16x16
digital audio channels in a flexible, design
time configuration environment that can
advertise as multiple virtual USB device
instances to the host operating system
concurrently over a single physical USB
connection. In addition to the USB Device
port, the Core 110f provides 6 USB Host
ports (A type) which enable the Core to host
external USB devices and future Q-SYS
peripheral products.

Specification Sheet
Benefits
•Class leading I/O: Q-SYS Core 110f has 24 analog I/O + USB, POTS and VoIP simultaneously in a single rack space and one SKU,
offering the best cost to I/O ratio in a single chassis product available on the market from any manufacturer.
• Flex Channels: Nearly all the flexibility of a card based DSP solution without the cost and inconvenience of multiple SKU’s and custom
parts ordering.
• Unified software platform: Single training investment in one software design tool rather than needing to learn several platforms to scale
from small to large systems or support different applications.
• Industry leading hardware design: Future proof investment in standards based software and computer technology running on
Intel processors.
• Industry first, software based DSP: Q-SYS suite of conferencing technology applications built and owned by QSC from
the ground up allowing for continued refinement.
o Software based routable AEC; no additional hardware needed
o SIP Softphones offering multiple instances per Q-SYS Core; no additional hardware needed
o Gain sharing and gating automixers
•True IT Software Integration: The Core 110f provides more than just networked audio integration and is not just another hardware
DSP. Q-SYS is primarily a software platform that offers greater software integration functionality such as native support for LDAP contact
server integration, SNMP monitoring, SIP Softphones, and software based routable AEC implementation; it truly is a next generation AV/IT
product that is free of the fixed hardware limitations seen in competing products.
