Penguin Media Solutions

Flex Channels: 8 software definable flex channels (mic/line input w/ phantom power, or line level output). Single channel granularity allows the user to configure any combination of inputs / outputs from 8 x 0 through to 0 x 8.
Microphone Fault Detection: When used as mic/line inputs.
Audio-to-USB Bridging: For situations where laptop PC’s are being used for soft codec conferencing using applications such as Skype for Business™ , GoToMeeting™, etc., the onboard USB Device port can be used to provide USB-to-Audio Bridging direct to the PC via driverless USB connectivity.
External Device Control: Control and interface with external devices using TCP/IP, RS232 and GPIO.
PoE+ Capability: For single cable installation. External 24VDC PSU can be used for redundancy (not sold by QSC)
Redundancy: Offers dual network ports for redundancy with the ability to send and receive on both ports simultaneously for glitch-free switchover the event of a network failure.
Mounting Accessories included: Class leading mounting accessories offer multiple rackmount and under-table mounting options.
