QSC Core 8 Flex – DSP Processor + Controller, 8×8 Dante, Compact Network AV Platform

•8x on-board Flex channels and GPIO
•up to 32 x 32 Dante audio channels (8 x 8 included)
•8x AEC processors
•External USB audio device host
•Up to 2x VoIP instances
•USB AV bridging (8 x 8 audio + Q-SYS camera support)

The QSC Core 8 Flex is a compact and powerful DSP processor and AV control solution designed for small to mid-sized spaces such as meeting rooms, classrooms, huddle spaces, and other networked AV environments. As part of the Q-SYS Ecosystem, this device combines audio processing, control logic, and network integration in a single unit.

Featuring 8 Flex Channels, the Core 8 Flex allows users to configure any channel as either input or output. It also supports 8×8 Dante™ audio networking, providing seamless integration with a wide range of Dante-enabled devices. The unit includes VoIP support, multi-channel USB audio, and compatibility with third-party control systems.

The Core 8 Flex is powered by Q-SYS OS, enabling centralized control, scalable DSP, and real-time AV system monitoring. With its fanless design and compact form factor, it’s easy to install in space-constrained environments such as under tables, in racks, or behind displays.

Rightsized. Uncompromised.
Rather than deploying an AV&C processor with unused analog I/O that occupies a full rack space, Core 8 Flex offers a smaller solution with several mounting options. However, its smaller form factor does not compromise on functionality; instead Core 8 Flex delivers a full featured control engine for third-party device control, full paging and BGM capabilities, automation, monitoring and beyond.

Optimized for the Meeting Space
The Core 8 Flex provides the AV infrastructure to enable full room web conference integration, particularly for larger, more challenging spaces. It features USB integration with all major web conferencing applications, eight channels of acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), two VoIP softphones, Software-based Dante to enable modern microphones, and a full-featured control engine for third-party device integration.

Reduce Complexity and improve scalability with the Q-SYS Platform
The Q-SYS Core 8 Flex joins a growing lineup of AV&C processors built on a flexible software foundation. Like all Q-SYS Core processors, the Core 8 Flex lets integrators take full advantage of the same Q-SYS software suite to design and configure systems. End users can take full advantage of all native Q-SYS peripherals and the system’s ability to scale your system without having to rip-and-replace your configuration file, as well as receive the latest platform functionality upgrades and security updates from Q-SYS through a simple firmware update.

Expand Functionality at the Software Level
Q-SYS Scaling Licenses allow you to leverage the unique software-based nature of Q-SYS to scale targeted feature sets to the needs of specific applications and use cases. The

Q-SYS Scaling Licenses allow you to leverage the unique software-based nature of Q-SYS to scale targeted feature sets to the needs of specific applications and use cases. The Core Nano & Core 8 Flex Capacity Scaling License enables your Core 8 Flex to scale into areas that require increased processing power, total network channel capacity and peripheral count. It also expands the resources aimed at meeting spaces or BGM/paging applications, including AEC channels, NM Series microphone capacity, softphones, and Media/WAN channel capacity.
