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

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

For integrators already working within Q-SYS ecosystems, native Q-SYS Extension support means the Zip4 platform maps 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. PoE compliance via 802.3af eliminates the need for local power supplies, simplifying cable infrastructure in distributed installations.

Compared to analog paging interfaces that require dedicated wiring runs per zone, this Dante-native approach consolidates paging audio and control onto existing network infrastructure, reducing installation complexity and long-term maintenance overhead for facilities and production teams managing multi-zone systems.
