Q-SYS Zip4-PTT Mic-Std Dante Paging Interface With PTT Mic Input

The Q-SYS Zip4-PTT Mic-Std is engineered for AV integrators and system designers building paging infrastructure in large-scale installed environments including sporting venues, airport terminals, train stations, convention centers, and corporate campuses. As a push-to-talk paging microphone interface terminating via RJ-45, it connects directly to the Attero Tech Zip4, a four-zone Dante/AES67 paging platform that routes audio and bidirectional control data across standard IP networks to Q-SYS or third-party AV controllers.

Native Q-SYS Extension support maps the Zip4 platform directly into Q-SYS Designer Software without custom scripting, enabling rapid deployment of PA Router functionality. Zone and system status are communicated through bicolor LEDs driven by the paging management system controller, giving operators clear real-time feedback at the mic station. The rear panel switch supports both dynamic and phantom powered microphones, adding flexibility across mic types without additional adapters or wiring changes.

Where analog paging interfaces demand dedicated wiring runs per zone, this Dante-native approach consolidates paging audio and control onto existing network infrastructure. That consolidation reduces installation complexity and long-term maintenance overhead for facilities teams and production integrators managing distributed multi-zone systems. PoE compliance via 802.3af further simplifies cable infrastructure by eliminating local power supplies at each mic station.
