The Q3 utilizes multiple microphones, a uniquely designed speaker, and a powerful DSP
to achieve commanding performance.
The Q3 can easily be paired with an interface module to enable it to communicate with
different types of infrastructures.
This guide will help you learn how to use your speakerphone and will reveal all the
features that come with it.
The Quattro3 (Q3) is a high-quality conference speakerphone that will turn any room into
a professionally sounding conference room. It has an exceptionally large pickup and
broadcasting range, yet is small in size and discrete in design.

DAISY CHAINING
Every Quattro3 comes with the built-in ability to connect to other Quattro3s (up to 15 units).
This feature enables you to provide coverage for larger spaces using a chain of Q3s.
MAKING THE CONNECTION:
Choose the unit you wish to act as the master unit. This unit will be the one interfacing for
the entire chain (i.e. telephone interface). The master unit will be the only unit connected to
an external device, while the other units will connect only to each other.
Using either the provided daisy chain cable or any other Ethernet cable, connect one of the
cable ends to the master unit’s daisy chain DOWN connector (the RJ45 connector marked
DOWN). Take the other end of the cable and connect it to the next Quattro3’s daisy chain UP
connector (the RJ45 connector marked UP). Repeat the process in order to connect a third
unit to unit number 2. This process can be repeated with up to 15 units regardless of their
interface type. All units in the chain must be Quattro3s.
POWERING THE DAISY CHAIN:
Every unit in the chain must be powered. In order to do this, there are two available options:
• Power each unit separately, using its own provided USB cable, DC power supply, or internal
battery (if applicable).
• Power only the master unit using the “Daisy Chain Power Kit”. This setup will require you
to connect only the first unit to a power source and will allow the rest of the units to feed
off the master unit via the Ethernet daisy chain cables.
NOTE: The “Daisy Chain Power Kit” utilizes a 48V power supply not included with the
Quattro3 and must be purchased separately. While any Quattro3 can be daisy-chained
(regardless of interface) the daisy chain power method requires all units in the chain to have
some type of secondary interface card (Quattro3 301 will not work). The daisy chain power
method will work with up to 8 consecutive units before requiring another power source.
