rewrite this title QSC Takes Aim at the Enterprise AV Headache With RoomSuite

QSC has unveiled a broad set of product announcements aimed at a familiar enterprise problem – scaling meeting rooms beyond huddle spaces without adding complexity, inconsistency or high support costs.

The main launch is Q-SYS RoomSuite Modular Systems. It introduces a new hardware and software approach which aims to standardise medium-sized and larger collaboration spaces.

Alongside this, the company also announced a control solution for Zoom Rooms in divisible environments, a new mid-power tier of network amplifiers, a high-capacity AV&C processor and a new training credential focused on advanced control skills.

“Our customers already rely on the Q-SYS Full Stack AV Platform to deliver their most demanding, highly customisable spaces,” said Sanjay Kulkarni, VP of Product, Q-SYS.

“Q-SYS RoomSuite Modular Systems extend that platform into standardised collaboration solutions across more space types, enabling a more complete, high-performance workplace under a single platform.”

Together, the releases point to a shift in how QSC wants Q-SYS to be used.

The platform has long been associated with highly customised, flagship installations. With RoomSuite, QSC is clearly targeting larger-scale, repeatable enterprise deployments as well.

From Custom Builds to Repeatable Rooms

RoomSuite Modular Systems is designed to address a long-standing challenge for IT teams and AV integrators.

Small meeting rooms are now easy to deploy using all-in-one devices and fixed bundles. Medium and large rooms, by contrast, often remain bespoke projects that are hard to replicate across an organisation.

QSC’s approach is a web-based, no-code workflow that supports faster configuration and deployment. Instead of designing each room from scratch, organisations can define standard room types and roll them out across multiple locations.

Management is handled through Q-SYS Reflect, QSC’s cloud platform for monitoring and control. This allows IT teams to track system status, manage configurations and support rooms remotely, rather than relying on on-site intervention.

The RoomSuite architecture is built around the RMP-100. This combines Q-SYS processing with a built-in network switch. The goal is to reduce system complexity while still supporting Q-SYS collaboration peripherals, AV distribution and signal bridging. For medium and large rooms, this also reduces rack space and commissioning time.

RoomSuite also includes the QIO-VEN4 expansion module, which allows additional I/O to be placed closer to user-facing AV endpoints.

In practice, this supports shorter cable runs, simpler installs and more flexible room layouts.

Simplifying Zoom Rooms in Divisible Spaces

Control remains one of the most difficult aspects of larger collaboration environments.

This is especially true in divisible spaces, where room layouts and system ownership can change throughout the day.

QSC’s new Q-SYS Connect solution is designed to simplify Zoom Rooms control in these environments. It dynamically links all room controllers to the active Windows-based compute device in a given configuration.

As rooms are combined or separated, control follows automatically. Users do not need to select a system or understand how the room is configured.

The ultimate aim is to remove complexity from the user experience without relying on heavy custom logic.

Q-SYS Connect uses Q-SYS TSC-101-G3 touch controllers alongside Windows software. The result is a certified Zoom Rooms controller experience that remains consistent, regardless of how the space is divided.

From a UC standpoint, the launch reflects QSC’s focus on tighter, more practical integrations with leading collaboration platforms, rather than treating them as external layers.

A New Mid-Power Option for Networked Audio

QSC has also expanded its network amplifier portfolio with the MPA-Q Series. The range introduces a mid-power tier aimed at common enterprise AV use cases.

The series includes four-channel models delivering 250W or 500W per channel. Eight-channel models are also available, providing 125W or 250W per channel. These options target spaces such as larger meeting rooms, divisible environments, classrooms and multi-purpose areas.

As with other Q-SYS amplifiers, the MPA-Q Series is fully networked. Monitoring and control are handled through the same Q-SYS platform used for the rest of the system.

For integrators, this may fill a gap in the portfolio while keeping system management consistent.

More Power and Skills for Large-Scale Deployments

The final product launch is a new AV&C processor aimed at large and complex systems. The X Class Server Core X50r combines the Q-SYS platform with enterprise-grade server hardware to deliver higher DSP capacity.

The Core X50r supports 10Gbps networking.

This provides more than twice the network audio channel capacity of the Q-SYS Core 5200, and is intended for environments such as large campuses, multi-room systems and high-channel-count deployments.

Whether companies go with QSC or another vendor, one thing is clear: IT teams are finally getting more tools that make standardising and managing large meeting rooms a lot less complex.
