Xilica Solaro QR1

Deliver exceptional audio quality to every space with the ultra-small-footprint Solaro QR1, a PoE-powered digital signal processor with eight user-configured I/O card slots. This open-architecture product can be populated with all combinations of Solaro Series I/O card, offering capabilities including analog audio, USB (with volume/mute status sync), GPIO, relay control and AES/EBU digital audio. Additionally, Solaro QR1 connects to an installed network over standard CatX cable with in-built 4×4 Dante audio networking, for streamlined connection of ceiling microphones and other IP-based audio products. With license-activated HearClear acoustic echo cancellation and an integrated control engine capable of Lua scripting, Solaro QR1 is an ideal solution for individual conference rooms, classrooms and legislative spaces at an exceptional price-point.

Xilica Solaro QR1 is the only micro-format, configurable digital signal processor that enables significant cost savings
by matching product features to application requirements while also allowing for flexible mounting scenarios.
Coming in a quarter rack chassis with PoE, the QR1 is easily surface-mountable behind a display or under a
table. With a powerful dual core processor, built-in 4×4 Dante/AES67 audio, and license-activated HearClear™
AEC, the Xilica Solaro QR1 is a perfect audio enhancement to meeting rooms and classrooms using Unified
Communications (UC) applications such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco WebEx or Google Hangouts.
Xilica Solaro QR1 can hold up to eight (8) integrator-configurable Solaro I/O cards, allowing the DSP to be configured to
the exact needs of the space. The DSP also features advanced signal processing capabilities including signal routing and
mixing, equalization, filtering, dynamics, and delay; all configured through Xilica Designer drag-and-drop software.
The Solaro QR1 can be controlled via Ethernet using Xilica XTouch50 and XTouch 80 capacitive touch controls,
Xilica Lucia networked wall panels, or with any third-party control system (Crestron®, AMX®, others). In addition,
the Solaro QR1 can also be configured to control other devices using industry-standard Lua scripting.

BENEFITS
X Small, surface-mountable form factor with Power over Ethernet allows for simple and discreet installation
under tables and behind displays in meeting rooms and classrooms without equipment racks
X Compatibility with soft-codec platforms including Microsoft Teams, Zoom and
Cisco WebEx with select mute synchronization over USB
X Modular I/O drives significant cost-savings with product-to-requirements matching and reduced inventory burden
X Engineered from premium components, aesthetic design by StudioX™
and complete with Xilica’s Five Year Limited Warranty

ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS
The digital signal processor shall be quarter-rack form factor and deliver 4×4 networked audio channels over AES67-compliant
Dante™, utilizing two dedicated 1000Mbps RJ45 ports supporting Cat5e and above. The processor shall feature eight (8)
integrator-configurable card slots accepting any combination of analog audio input (with selectable 48V), analog line output,
selectable GPIO, relay control, AES/EBU digital audio, and USB via 2×2 send/receive over Type-B socket. Within a single
processor, the device shall provide up to 16 local channels of analog audio, and 32 channels of local GPIO, with expansion
permitted via proprietary I/O expansion devices and generic third-party Dante devices. The device shall feature an openarchitecture, 40-bit floating point processor operating on a Linux platform. The device front panel shall include clearly-legible
LEDs for status indication, and a recessed, tactile IP reset button. The processor shall feature signal processing algorithms,
including but not limited to various forms of mixers, equalizers, filters, crossovers, dynamics/gain controls, routers, room
combiners, and delays, alongside integration with soft-codec platforms. The processor shall offer acoustic echo cancellation
via software-based licensing. The processor shall feature an internal control engine with easily understandable API, to
enable control of, and from, third-party products and control systems. The processor shall feature native compatibility
with propriety touch controls, networked wall panels, networked computers running specific software, or networked iOS
and Android devices. Additionally, the processor shall offer Lua scripting capability for advanced system command. The
program memory shall be nonvolatile and provide program security should power fail. The processor shall comply with
FCC emission requirements and shall be compliant with the RoHS directive. The processor shall be the Xilica Solaro QR1.
