to medium sized venues. All of the PL Series loudspeakers take advantage of the power and performance delivered by the Q-SYS Platform, including simplified setup and custom voicings, rock-solid power via Q-SYS network amplifiers, advanced telemetry, monitoring and customization end user control.
DELIVER THE RIGHT SYSTEM FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS
Any addition to the line array or curvature change will change the tonal response, requiring high, mid, and low frequency balancing that Q-SYS delivers automatically with custom voicings and filter sets to simplify deployment and deliver optimal performance.
FULL CONTROL AND MONITORING FOR ENTERTAINMENT VENUES
The Q-SYS Platform offers a full-featured control engine that lets you deploy the right level of intuitive user control and system visibility for each stakeholder in the venue. Design an advanced system control interface with Q-SYS UCI Editor for the sound operators, containing any combination of gain, preset triggers, status indicators, telemetry data and more.
Similarly, enlist Q-SYS Reflect Enterprise Manager to remotely monitor and manage the integrity of your system from anywhere, and even allow an offsite technician to identify and troubleshoot issues from any web browser.
SEAMLESS Q-SYS EXPERIENCE FOR ENTERTAINMENT VENUES AND COMPLEXES
PL Series performance loudspeakers are part of a comprehensive Q-SYS system portfolio that delivers a holistic audio, video and control experience for the entire venue. Whether you need foreground reinforcement for your performance area, background music in the lobbies or ancillary areas, collaboration in the meeting rooms, wide area audio distribution or third-party device integration and automation, the Q-SYS Platform ties these pieces to deliver a uniquely tailored experience throughout.
