Q-Audio Venue Sound QZONE83 Zoner Mixer

The Venue Sound QZONE83 is a compact, professional-grade 1U rackmount 3-zone installation mixer designed for versatile audio control in commercial settings such as bars, restaurants, gyms, and educational facilities. With five stereo line-level inputs, two microphone channels, and the ability to route audio independently to three separate output zones, it offers flexible routing, intuitive control, and superior sound quality.

Each stereo input features rear-panel gain control and can be assigned to Zones A, B, or C. A dedicated fifth stereo input is routed exclusively to Zone C. Additionally, a rear-panel balanced FOH input and a front-panel 3.5mm jack input can replace inputs 1 and 4 and be routed to any zone. This allows seamless integration of external audio sources such as DJ systems, bands, or mobile devices.

The QZONE83 provides two microphone inputs with rear-mounted 1/4" TRS connectors and gain controls, supporting phantom-powered condenser mics via an internal jumper. Each mic input includes a 2-band EQ, "on air" switch, and automatic talk-over with independently adjustable attenuation for each zone, ensuring vocals are heard clearly without manual adjustment.

The mixer’s three output zones—two stereo and one mono—each feature a 5-segment LED level meter and rear-panel EQ adjustments. Output volume control can be handled from the front panel or via a remote potentiometer such as the QWALL (sold separately). Phoenix and balanced TRS connectors ensure robust output connections.

An emergency input allows the system to override normal output with priority messaging, while an output mute contact integrates with fire alarms and similar systems for added safety. Built with a Hi-Fi linear power supply and a full metal chassis, the QZONE83 ensures reliability, durability, and pristine audio performance in every environment.
