QSC QIO-TEL2 Q-SYS peripheral providing 2 RJ11 connectors to interface with analog telephony (POTS or PSTN) systems

Q-SYS QIO-TEL2 | Analog Telephony I/O Expander for Q-SYS Systems Streamlined Analog Telephony Integration for Scalable AV Networks The Q-SYS QIO-TEL2 enhances your Q-SYS system with native analog telephony connectivity—enabling seamless integration of analog phone lines into your networked AV platform. Designed to support interoperability with legacy systems where VoIP is impractical, this modular expander simplifies telephony routing, paging, and system bridging in professional environments. With support for two POTS lines and native Q-SYS control, the QIO-TEL2 provides unmatched flexibility for secure and scalable AV deployments in government, enterprise, education, and public infrastructure. Key Features and Benefits Two POTS Phone Line InputsEquipped with two analog telephone line connections (RJ-11), enabling seamless integration with PSTN subscriber lines, PBX systems, paging equipment, and legacy voice systems. Flexible InstallationMounts easily in tight spaces with a compact 1RU, quarter-width form factor. Includes surface-mount hardware and supports both rack or wall installation. Decoupled Network I/OSeparates I/O hardware from processing for more adaptable system topology—ideal for distributed or centralized Q-SYS Core deployments (Core Nano, Core 8 Flex, NV-32-H Core Capable). Simplified Cabling and Expansion Daisy-chain up to four QIO devices using a single network line and shared local DC power PoE capable for single-cable installation in standalone deployments Native Q-SYS IntegrationEasily managed via Q-SYS Designer Software and monitored remotely through Q-SYS Reflect Enterprise Manager. Future-Ready AV InfrastructurePurpose-built for environments where analog systems remain critical, yet full integration into a modern networked AV framework is essential. Ideal Applications Government Facilities Higher Education Campuses Healthcare Systems Corporate Buildings Houses of Worship Emergency Paging Infrastructure Mixed IP + Analog Telephony Environments Secure or Retrofit Installations Competitive Advantages Native Q-SYS Compatibility: Direct integration with no external telephony bridges or converters. Compact, Rack-Ready Form Factor: Quarter-width, 1RU chassis fits easily into any system architecture. Secure Legacy Support: Connects to analog systems where VoIP is restricted due to budget, regulation, or infrastructure. Low Network Overhead: Supports daisy-chaining and PoE, minimizing port usage and cabling requirements. Cloud-Manageable: Q-SYS Reflect Enterprise Manager allows enterprise-wide remote monitoring and diagnostics.
