AES-67 and the Future of Interoperability
Nowadays, all integrators (and manufacturer, for that matter) desire to offer their customers platform interoperability between the various system components they install and support. David Fuller,Sr. Director of New Product Development, says “Unfortunately the prevailing perception within the industry is that ‘proprietary’ systems are closed for interoperation with other protocols and technologies. This is simply not the case.” QSC’s Q-SYS™ Platform was designed to follow prevailing IT standards and function with off-the-shelf, non-proprietary Ethernet switches. Its network protocol, Q-LAN, transports audio using the same layer 3 networking protocols that IT professionals worldwide already understand and support with all their other TCP/IP networked based systems. In addition, it also offers discovery, monitoring, real-time diagnostics and control of the entire…

New Videos Address Real-World Amplifier Specifications
In a new video recently released by QSC Cinema, Barry Ferrell, the company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, provides a tutorial and demonstration of the power output capabilities of the new DPA/DPA-Q amplifier platform. “With the advent of immersive audio and the need for high powered surround loudspeakers, we’ve seen a fair amount of ‘overspecification’, where amplifiers are sized larger than they need to be for most common cinema applications,” says Ferrell. “Part of this comes from a misunderstanding of amplifier performance and specifications.” The video provides an overview of QSC’s new Class D amplifier platform, which is used in the DPA/DPA-Q cinema amplifiers and the CXD/CXD-Q and PLD series professional audio amplifiers. Because of the platform’s extremely DC high voltage rails and regulated power supply, the amplifiers are able to…

Touring Duo Thankful for K12
We are Garcia and Scott, a full-time, Nashville-based, Indie acoustic duo. We are currently performing 120 - 150 dates a year at theaters, opera houses, concert series, fairs and festivals in 10 states so far. We may be an acoustic duo, but we play hard and we often play loud. Since 2009, we’ve been using QSC K12s and have had them in every situation imaginable inside and out. Bitter cold, blazing sun, wind and unexpected rain. We’ve set them up, torn them down, loaded and unloaded them nearly a thousand times and they’ve NEVER failed to deliver. Our sound is always natural, warm and rich. Never harsh. In fact, our QSCs have become an integral part of our sound. We simply wanted to say, “Thank You” to all the folks at QSC for designing such a phenomenal, dependable and affordable speaker. This is our living and it’s nice to never have to worry about the…
