What Attero Tech does

Attero Tech is a brand of networked audio-visual peripherals now operated as a product line within QSC, LLC's Q-SYS ecosystem following an acquisition by QSC. The company designs and manufactures Dante- and AES67-compatible audio networking endpoints, including wall-mount and rack-mount audio interfaces, I/O extenders, paging stations, networked amplifiers, and control peripherals. Technically, these products function as bridge and I/O nodes that translate between analog audio, digital audio, and IP-based networked audio transports, allowing integrators to connect microphones, speakers, and other AV hardware into larger Dante/AES67 audio networks and the Q-SYS platform.

The product surface has been rationalized since the acquisition: legacy lines including the Synapse series and the unD6IO-BT have been discontinued, while remaining SKUs have been repositioned as native Q-SYS-compatible networked AV peripherals with plug-in integration in Q-SYS Designer Software. The business model is hardware sales through AV system integrators and QSC's global reseller channel, with revenue rolled into QSC's private consolidated financials rather than reported separately. Customers are AV/IT integrators and end users in verticals such as higher education, corporate, government, worship, hospitality, and live venues, where networked audio distribution is required. No independent headcount, revenue, or financial disclosures are available for the Attero brand, and the product line has no standalone go-to-market motion separate from Q-SYS.

Core offering

Attero Tech designs and manufactures networked AV endpoints and I/O peripherals including wall-mount and rack-mount Dante/AES67 audio interfaces, network wall controllers, network amplifiers, IP paging stations, and analog I/O extenders. Products are integrated into the Q-SYS ecosystem via drag-and-drop extensions in Q-SYS Designer Software, and are sold globally through QSC's distribution and certified integrator network.

Product overview

Attero Tech is a portfolio of networked AV endpoints and I/O peripherals that was acquired by Q-SYS. The product family includes wall-mount network audio interfaces (unD6IO-BT, unDX2IO+, unDX4I, unD6IO, Axon D2i), rack-mount network audio interfaces (Synapse D16Mio, Synapse D32Mi, Synapse D32o), network wall controllers (Axon C1), network amplifiers (Axon DTH1620), IP paging stations (Zip4, Zip4-3G), and analog I/O extenders (Axiom AXPio). These products support Dante and AES67 audio networking protocols and integrate into Q-SYS designs through drag-and-drop extensions. The portfolio is complemented by unIFY Control Panel software and product firmware. Some rack-mount products (Synapse series) and the unD6IO-BT have been discontinued.
