QIO Series
Q-SYS Network Bluetooth® Audio Wall Plates
The Q-SYS QIO Series of network audio extenders enable interoperability with non-networked audio I/O to expand the power of Q-SYS across more devices. The QIO Series QIO-WP-BT network Bluetooth® audio wall plate brings wireless audio integration to Q-SYS, enabling reliable Bluetooth® media streaming, broadcast audio via Auracast™, and wireless call bridging within a native Q-SYS endpoint, making it ideal for hospitality, education, live entertainment spaces, as well as collaboration applications where simple user pairing, clean installation, and Q-SYS integration matter most.
Features & Benefits
Connect your Bluetooth® devices to Q-SYS for system-wide audio streaming
Support two-way calls for wireless audio bridging for UC applications
Supports Auracast™, a Bluetooth® technology that enables wireless assistive listening and broadcast audio use cases
Bluetooth® 5.4 module supports compatibility with the latest mobile devices and laptops
NFC tap-to-pair sensor for quick & easy Bluetooth pairing of supported devices
Available US (1-gang) or EU/UK (75mm square) versions fit into standard electrical backboxes with Decora style faceplates
White (RAL 9003) and black (RAL 9011) faceplates both included
Control pairing permissions, auto-connect settings, idle timeouts, and more
Can be monitored and managed by using Q-SYS Reflect, with one simple connection from your Q-SYS Core to the Q-SYS Reflect cloud
Add the right I/O where you need it: With QIO Series Bluetooth® audio wall plates, you can integrate today’s Bluetooth® enabled devices into Q-SYS for reliable media streaming, broadcast audio via Auracast™, and wireless call bridging.
Native Q-LAN Bluetooth audio connectivity: The network Bluetooth audio wall plate can receive two Q-LAN audio channels to stream stereo media from a mobile device into a networked audio system, and it can use the Bluetooth® hands-free profile to carry bi-directional audio to wirelessly bridge calls into a room’s networked audio system.
Customizable to your environment: The QIO Series features modular devices that can be combined to fit your unique I/O requirements for centralized, distributed and hybrid processing architectures. By separating I/O from processing hardware, the QIO Series enables you to interface with non-networked audio and control devices precisely where they’re needed.
Integrated audio, video and control: QIO Series network I/O expanders are driven by the Q-SYS Full Stack AV Platform, which unifies data, devices and a cloud-first open architecture to deliver a fully integrated audio, video and control solution that offers simpler integration and software-based scalability.
