Q16-AA & Q32-AA
Q16 & Q32 Mono & Stereo Analog Audio Router
The Q16-AA and Q32-AA are small mono and stereo analog audio routers.
Configuration: The design of the Q16-AA and Q32-AA router allows them to be configured in square or non-square sizes.
Q16-AA: The Q16-AA is housed in a 1RU frame and is only available in a non-redundant power supply configuration.
Q16-AA Mono
Available in four fixed sizes, 16x16, 32x8, 32x16 and 32x32.
Q16-AA Stereo
Available in three fixed sizes, 16x4, 16x8 and 16x16.
Q32-AA: The Q32-AA is housed in a 2RU frame and is available in a redundant power supply configuration.
Q32-AA Mono
Available in seven fixed sizes, 16x16, 32x8, 32x16, 32x32, 64x8, 64x16 and 64x32.
Q32-AA Stereo
Available in six fixed sizes, 16x4, 16x8, 16x16, 32x8, 32x16 and 32x32.
Control: Both the Q16-AA and the Q32-AA router include, as standard, an internal Frame Controller module which supports a single Q-Link and Serial port on the rear of the router. The optional internal CI module can be fitted to the Q32-AA to increase the number of Q-Link and Serial ports. This option is not available for the Q16-AA.
The Q16-AA and Q32-AA have a number of control options, they are:
Remote Control Panel: Any panel(s) from the entire range of Quartz remote control panels can be used with the Q16-AA and Q32-AA router connected via Q-Link.
External third party control: The Q16-AA and Q32-AA router can be remotely controlled via an external third party control device, such as an automation system, when connected to the routers serial port.
Expansion: The input or output stage of the Q16-AA and the Q32-AA can be expanded from 16 to 32 depending upon the audio format of the router, mono or stereo. In all cases the router needs to be returned to the local service centre to be upgraded. The routers can not be expanded beyond their frame size.
Power Supply: The power supplies for the Q16-AA and the Q32-AA are internal. The 2RU Q32-AA frame can be fitted with an optional redundant power supply with separate AC power inlet and alarm output. This option is not available for the Q16-AA.
