The new models, including the AD-C4T-ZB, AD-C4T-LPZB, AD-C6T-ZB, and AD-C6T-LPZB, feature a white grille without a bezel. Thus it will meet the architectural needs of modern applications while preserving the premium acoustics of the AD Series, according to a statement. Additionally, retrofit accessories are available to add the new grille to recent Q-SYS loudspeaker models (NL-C4, AD-C6T-HC, AD-C6T-HP). Black grilles are also available separately for all models, says Q-SYS.
“We are thrilled to announce the new models that not only add a touch of modern elegance to any space; but also deliver the same premium audio quality that our customers expect from the AcousticDesign Series,” says Dan Saenz, product manager loudspeakers and amplifiers, Q-SYS. “With retrofit options available; we’re making it easier than ever for our customers to keep their audio systems in line with the latest design trends.”
Main Features of Peripheral Portfolio
Q-SYS also introduced the latest additions to its QIO Series I/O peripheral portfolio: the QIO-AES8x8 and QIO TEL2. These new modular devices expand Q-SYS system capabilities to enable streamlined interoperability with non-networked audio and analog telephony systems.

By decoupling local I/O from processing hardware, QIO Series devices allow users to place the I/O exactly where it is needed to support the desired topology, Q-SYS states.
The QIO-AES8x8 features eight (8) AES3 digital inputs and eight (8) AES3 digital outputs, allowing users to integrate a wide range of digital sources into their systems. These include media servers, mixing consoles, digital audio workstations (DAWs), or other digital recording and playback devices, according to Q-SYS.
Per a statement, the QIO-TEL2 integrates two PSTN (POTS) phone lines on standard RJ-11 connectors to integrate analog telephony systems into Q-SYS. The QIO-TEL2 is designed to handle PSTN subscriber lines, PBX phone and paging systems, and retrofit applications with ease.
“By adding these two options to the QIO Series, Q-SYS provides users with the flexibility and power to bridge the gap between legacy systems and modern, networked technologies and continue to deliver exceptional value to our customers,” says Scott Wieser, product manager, audio processors and peripherals, Q-SYS.
