Q-SYS Zip4-Mag Mic Base Dante Paging Interface for Large Venues

The Q-SYS Zip4-Mag Mic Base is a four-zone Dante/AES67 paging interface engineered for large-scale installed audio environments where reliable, network-distributed public address is non-negotiable. Airports, transit terminals, convention centers, sports arenas, and corporate campuses benefit from its ability to route paging audio and bi-directional control status data over a standards-based AV network to Q-SYS or compatible third-party Paging Management System controllers.

For integrators working within Q-SYS ecosystems, the included Q-SYS Extension enables seamless use of existing PA Router functionality inside Q-SYS Designer Software, eliminating the need for custom scripting or external bridging hardware. A rear-panel switch accommodates dynamic or phantom-powered microphones without additional adapters, and the RJ-45 plus 6-pin depluggable mic/PTT input supports both fixed installations and handheld PTT mic workflows.

802.3af PoE compliance keeps infrastructure clean by eliminating local power supplies at the mic station — a practical advantage in distributed installations where conduit runs are already committed. Each of the four zone buttons carries a dedicated bicolor LED whose state is fully network-controlled, giving the PMS operator real-time visual feedback on zone and system status from any connected controller.
