The HUB 4000 Q is a HiQnet™ network interface designed by AKG for controlling up to eight AKG
devices from a single computer. The required System Architect™ software developed by Harman Pro is
available as a free download from www.harmanpro.com/hiqnet or www.akg.com/hiqnet. These websites
also list system requirements and provide information on the latest updates of System Architect™.
For larger systems with more than eight AKG devices, you can use commercial switches (Ethernet hubs,
routers, network interface cards, etc.) to daisy-chain the required number of HUB 4000 Qs.
You can use the HUB 4000 Q as a standalone unit or install it in a 19" rack using the supplied rack mount-
ing kit.*
Check that the packaging contains all of the components listed above. Should anything be missing,
