Costa Mesa, Calif. (November 29, 2022) – To revitalize the historic Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, Q-SYS Professional Services teamed up with integrator Alpha Video to create an AV foundation that spans over one million square feet and delivers exceptional AV experiences to hundreds of thousands of patrons who pass through its gates every year.  This project presented several challenges for the design team as they were tasked with replacing 40 disparate processors, managing 650 amplifier loads, and creating a consistent control system for this massive property. With the software-based, Q-SYS cloud-managed audio, video and control Platform, the team was able to reimagine every zone with a single Q-SYS design file, giving them streamlined control with precise granularity.  In addition, the team was able to simplify end user controls with dozens of…

Over two hundred and fifty years ago, the first national public museum in the world opened its doors. Truly an exercise in astonishing facts and figures, since that time the British Museum has cared for more than eight million works of art, historical artefacts, and archaeological finds. British Museum Exhibitions must be displayed to their full potential, and the full museum experience must be seamless for all guests. This goal is difficult to achieve with non-standardized equipment and systems. To tackle the challenge, the British Museum team selected systems integrator and production company Autograph Sound to update the control system for exhibition audio and video content. Autograph’s long experience with QSC led them to propose Q-SYS as the audio, video and control solution to providing consistent incoming exhibition experiences. With QSC, Autograph Sound…

The Arminia Bielefeld soccer team has been playing their home games at SchücoArena in Bielefeld, Germany for almost a century. Through the decades their loyal fanbase grew and the stadium required multiple expansions to accommodate, today offering space for over 26,000 attendees. This trend of upgrades continued to include VIP boxes and even autism-friendly boxes for neurodivergent fans. Now with the Arminia Bielefeld’s recent promotion to the Bundesliga league, the stadium welcomes a new level of improvements to keep up with its success, which are manifesting as a Q-SYS led boost to their AV infrastructure. The SchücoArena team commissioned the renewal and expansion of their sound system, in part to comply with the German Football League’s official requirements that a Bundesliga stadium must be improved yearly. The aim was to implement both the monitoring of the…

Established in 1925, the Alabama Community College System (ACCS) is Alabama’s gateway to world-class, affordable education and technical training. The system consists of twenty-four community and technical colleges, including the Alabama Technology Network and Marion Military Institute, and services more than 168,000 people per year. Recently, ACCS embarked on an ambitious upgrade of their system-wide distance learning facilities, with the goal of creating high-value hybrid spaces to be leveraged by in-person and distance learners alike. In the end, that meant a transformation of over seventy-four rooms across all ACCS campuses. They partnered with The ESB Group for design and installation, who quickly selected QSC as their solution provider. “We knew we needed a repeatable design that was very user-friendly. The faculty are the main users of these rooms, and some are…

The Reitz Union within the University of Florida heralds from humble origins – a simple campaign back in 1922 to raise funds for an on-campus YMCA. Since then, the student union has grown to over 630,000 square feet servicing over 50,000 students. Named after former University President Dr. J. Wayne Reitz, this facility continues to serve as the community center of the campus, providing services and programs to meet the needs of students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Within this expansive space is Grand Ballroom, one of the most versatile areas available in the Union – split into eight 45x45-foot salons with the total area measuring roughly 20,000 square feet. The Grand Ballroom is rented out for a host of events but unfortunately, the audio wasn’t living up to the space’s requirements. “I’ll get straight to it – the audio was bad,” explained Lon Vance, Senior…

As a public land-grant university, Virginia Tech remains committed to teaching, learning, research, and outreach. In 2007, they articulated their long-term future vision with their Advancing Beyond Boundaries ethos. One of the main strategic objectives was to ensure institutional excellence by continually developing “the physical campus and technology infrastructure”. A part of this upgrade in technology infrastructure is the standardization of their audio, visual and control systems across campus. Rob Viers, New Classroom Building AV Manager and Building Manager, explains, “Our system was starting to age. Some of our auditoriums didn’t even have digital signal processing – we still needed to cobble together a USB integration solution for presentations. We knew this was an opportunity for standardization, and we already had a building leveraging the Q-SYS Platform…

Vodohod Cruises is one of the premier operators of luxury voyages along Russia’s Volga and Neva rivers and in the Sea of Azov. The M.S. Mustai Karim — named after the Bashkir poet, playwright, and national hero — is their newest and most luxurious ship, sailing between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Accommodating up to 329 passengers, this new ship required a networked AV system for all decks plus localized reinforcement for live and recorded music, and system integrator SMS Pro turned to the QSC Q-SYS Ecosystem and Premium Business Music solutions. SMS Pro consulted with MixArt, the QSC distribution partner for Russia, and chose Q-SYS to drive the Panorama Bar which is the social hub of the ship and host to nightly live performances. A Q-SYS Core 110f unified processor was deployed to manage both audio/video distribution and DSP processing for the space, while two Q-SYS…

Im Mississippi Aquarium erleben Besucher die Geschichte der Wasserwelten des US-Bundesstaats, vom Delta bis zur Küste. Sie machen eine spannende Entdeckungsreise durch majestätische Umgebungen und werden dazu ermuntert, eine aktive Rolle bei deren Erforschung und Erhaltung zu spielen. Während aktueller Bauarbeiten an der über 7.400 m2 großen Ausstellungsfläche suchte das Aquarium nach einem perfekten vernetzten AV-System, um das Besuchererlebnis weiter zu verbessern. Die Wahl fiel auf die Q-SYS Plattform inklusive Q-SYS Endstufen und Lautsprechern. Die ESB Group aus Alabama entschied sich für einen Q-SYS Core 510i Integrated Processor, der als zentraler Audio- und Steuerungsprozessor für den gesamten Standort dient. Der Systemintegrator rüstete den Mehrspur-Audio-Player so nach (über Q-SYS Feature-Lizenz), dass bis zu 32 simultane Spuren mit Audio-Inhalten der Ausstellung sowie Hintergrundmusik an jede Zone des Aquariums geroutet und abgespielt werden können.

Der Uinta County School District #1 liegt in den Ausläufern der wunderschönen Uinta Mountains im Südwesten Wyomings und wird von knapp 3.000 Schülern besucht. Bei Gesprächen mit dem zuständigen AV-Integrator Performance Audio über einen neuen Boardroom wurde schnell klar, dass, aufgrund der geografischen Lage und des Budgets, eine vollständige Planung und Inbetriebnahme aus der Ferne erforderlich war. Und das Q-SYS Audio, Video und Control Ecosystem war die perfekte Lösung für diese Aufgabe. Ein Q-SYS Core 110f Unified Prozessor verarbeitet die Audio-, Video- und Steuerungssignale für die gesamte Anlage. "Wir wussten sofort, dass Q-SYS die beste Wahl für den Schulbezirk ist", erklärt Jake Peery, Install Manager und System Designer bei Performance Audio. "Durch den Einsatz eines integrierten Audio- und Steuerungsprozessors konnten wir die Programmierkosten bereits vor Projektbeginn erheblich senken. Es ist keine zusätzliche Steuerungsverarbeitung erforderlich...

Located in Lüneburg, Germany, Castanea Forum is a conference and event center on the premises of the Castanea Best Western Resort. Opened in 2019, the center offers eight multi-functional rooms, available for corporate or private events. The forum was looking to deploy an end-to-end audio, video and control (AV&C) solution that would provide users with a flexible and intuitive means of setting up and controlling meetings or events, and the Q-SYS Ecosystem from QSC provided the perfect solution. Working alongside QSC, Hamburg-based system integrator PM White designed the system around a Q-SYS Core 510i Integrated processor, which manages the audio, video and control processing throughout the venue. With Q-SYS there is no need for separate, cumbersome control processing hardware, and PM White took full advantage of the full-featured control engine to create unique user…

Im Jahr 2011 zog Urban Outfitters in seinen neuen Firmencampus ein, der komplett neu gestaltet wurde und dem über 100 Jahre alten Rohbau einer verfallenen Marinewerft in Philadelphia neues Leben einhauchte. Das Gebäude verfügt über eine Fläche von 350.000 ft² für seine Marken wie Free People und Anthropologie. Der Campus, zu dem eine Reihe von öffentlichen Bereichen wie eine Cafeteria, ein Café, eine Bibliothek, ein Fitnesscenter und ein Außenhof gehören, benötigte ein integriertes und flexibles, vernetztes Audio-, Video- und Steuerungssystem (AV&C). QSC hat diese Aufgabe mit dem Q-SYS AV&C Ecosystem gemeistert. Das audiovisuelle Upgrade war ein gemeinsamer Prozess zwischen den Unternehmen DBS Audio, das die Lautsprechersysteme geliefert hatte, und Essential Communications, das das ursprüngliche Steuerungs- und Verarbeitungssystem installiert hatten. David Schwartz, Gründer von Essential Communications, war auf der Suche nach einer stärker integrierten AV&C-Lösung. "Durch den Einsatz eines einzigen Prozessors konnten wir die Installation erheblich vereinfachen, ohne auf Funktionen verzichten zu müssen", erklärt David Schwartz.
