K Series Carrying the Message of Recovery
Musicians use the power of QSC’s K Series to carry the message of recovery! Rock to Recovery is a non-profit organization founded by former Korn guitarist Wes Geer, and launched in June of 2013. R2R’s program administrators are all clean and sober, professional recording and touring artists. They work with drug and alcohol treatment centers, youth programs, mental health facilities, (and most recently) the Wounded Warriors, to “form a band”, write and record live, a recovery-based song together. Most of the new band members are not musicians, singers, or songwriters. But, with the help and guidance of R2R’s administrators, they are soon playing bass, piano and synth lines on the keyboard, hand percussion, and singing together. This creative process has proven to be priceless as a transformational tool to those in recovery from substance abuse and mental health…

AES-67 and the Future of Interoperability
Nowadays, all integrators (and manufacturer, for that matter) desire to offer their customers platform interoperability between the various system components they install and support.

New Videos Address Real-World Amplifier Specifications
In a new video recently released by QSC Cinema, Barry Ferrell, the company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, provides a tutorial and demonstration of the power output capabilities of the new DPA/DPA-Q amplifier platform. “With the advent of immersive audio and the need for high powered surround loudspeakers, we’ve seen a fair amount of ‘overspecification’, where amplifiers are sized larger than they need to be for most common cinema applications,” says Ferrell. “Part of this comes from a misunderstanding of amplifier performance and specifications.” The video provides an overview of QSC’s new Class D amplifier platform, which is used in the DPA/DPA-Q cinema amplifiers and the CXD/CXD-Q and PLD series professional audio amplifiers.
