{"product_id":"q-sys-qio-aes8x8","title":"Q-SYS QIO-AES8x8 8-Channel AES3 Digital I\/O Network Peripheral","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Q-SYS QIO-AES8x8 is designed for AV integrators and system designers who need to bridge Q-SYS networked audio infrastructure with legacy or non-networked AES3 digital devices. By offloading local I\/O from the core processing hardware, this peripheral fits cleanly into installed AV environments where flexible topology and scalable I\/O expansion are priorities — from corporate AV systems to performing arts venues and broadcast facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe QIO series philosophy separates I\/O from processing, allowing integrators to place digital audio connectivity where signal sources and destinations actually live, rather than running long analog or digital cable runs back to a central rack. Up to four QIO-AES8x8 units can be daisy-chained on a single network run, making it practical to distribute I\/O across multiple zones or rooms without additional network infrastructure. Power-over-Ethernet eliminates the need for a local power drop in many installations, and the compact quarter-rack form factor supports both surface and rack mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfiguration and monitoring are handled entirely within Q-SYS Designer Software and Q-SYS Reflect, giving system designers drag-and-drop integration without third-party middleware or custom scripting. For installations where AES3 interoperability is a requirement and rack space is limited, the QIO-AES8x8 is a purpose-built solution that fits within the Q-SYS ecosystem without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"QSC, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52444542075064,"sku":"142306","price":1265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/7382\/4696\/files\/142306_QSYS-QIO-AES8x8_ALT01sqr.jpg?v=1784837766","url":"https:\/\/soundpro.com\/products\/q-sys-qio-aes8x8","provider":"SoundPro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
