Core Nano

The Q-SYS Core Nano audio, video and control (AV&C) processor extends the applications of the Q-SYS Ecosystem into a wider range of smaller-scale installations across corporate, higher education, healthcare and beyond. Built on the same foundational technology as the rest of the Q-SYS processor portfolio, including the best-in-class Q-SYS Core 110f, Core Nano is designed for applications with lower network channel capacity and/or targeted processing requirements.

Note: For installation and connection instructions, drawings, and other documentation, refer to the Resources section on the Core Nano product page on the QSC website.
