Input to Output Signal Flow
The amplifier's Flex Channels ‒ configurable in Q-SYS Designer Software (QDS) as mic/line inputs or line outputs ‒ are not physically
or electrically connected in the amplifier, giving you the flexibility to use any available source in Q-SYS for the amplified outputs and
to route the inputs to any output. The following diagram shows where gain, muting, and limiting are applied within the input to output
signal flow, as well as the QDS components used to configure parameters.
1. The analog inputs are converted to digital audio in the amplifier. The converted audio is then routed to the Q-SYS Core via Q-LAN
(LAN A).
2. The digital signals are brought into the design via the amplifier's Flex Input component. From the Flex Input component, the signals
can be sent for processing and can be sent anywhere within the Q-SYS system.
3. In the Q-SYS Core processor, digital audio signals (not necessarily from the amp's inputs) are sent to the Amp Output component.
4. The digital audio is then sent from the Q-SYS Core processor via Q-LAN to the amplifier.
5. Digital signals are converted to analog, amplified, and sent to outputs of the amplifier.
