Q-Sys Designer software allows you to create designs for the Q-Sys Integrated System Platform.

While you can run Q-Sys Designer and design a system without being connected to a Q-Sys Core, you will not be able to process audio or monitor amplifiers until the design is loaded into a Q-Sys Core.

The system design environment was created specifically to be intuitive and easy to use. It is laid out without clutter or complicated, multi-level menus. You'll be able to apply your skills to designing the system – not figuring out the software.

Q-Sys also saves time during system set-up and commissioning. While many existing systems are agonizingly slow to assemble a new configuration, Q-Sys designs can be compiled and deployed in seconds. Once the system is designed, you will find that Q-Sys also offers a useful suite of trouble shooting and measurement tools. A test probe provides an RTA display of the signal at any point in the design. FFT-based real-time analysis and impulse response are also provided for on-site acoustical measurements. All you need to bring is a measurement microphone.
