The faceplates of Q-SYS I/O cards are similar and could inadvertently be swapped. The color of the soldered-on Phoenix connector is the identifier, however:

  • Orange is an analog input card.
  • Green is an analog output card.
  • Black is the digital AES-3 input of the AES4 card.
  • Gray is the digital AES-3 output of the AES4 card.
