FAQ | Where can I download sample Q-SYS design files?
Discover where to easily download sample Q-SYS design files.
Answer
Sample designs are available to download through Q-SYS library (and previously, via Asset Manager in Q-SYS Designer) with the following steps:
Download using Q-SYS Library
- Access Q-SYS library (https://library.qsys.com/)
- Find the desired Sample Design and add it you your library
- Open Designer
- Open “Asset Installer” and install the sample file from Q-SYS onto your machine.
Once the file is downloaded to your machine…
- Go to the File menu.
- Click Open Sample Design.
- Choose your downloaded sample design to open.
Note
Sample Designs may be stored in the directory specific to the version used to download it
C:\Users\Public\Documents\QSC\Q-SYS Designer <version #>
If you are trying to access a file downloaded with a previous Designer version (or from Asset Manager even), you may need to alter the folder that is initially opened. For example, a sample downloaded using Asset Manager in version 8.4 will be stored in the following folder:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\QSC\Q-SYS Designer 8.4
Some sample files are included as part of a plugin package so in some cases, the sample design file may be included along with the plugin files. If the file is not visible using the above try the following…
- Open Designer.
- Go to the File menu.
- Click Open.
- Navigate to Documents\QSC\Q-SYS Designer\Assets\Q-SYS Library.
- Locate the folder of the plugin that the sample file is associated with and open it.
- Within that plugin folder, open the “contents" folder. Any sample files will be shown in the file list.
- Select the file required (there could be more than one to choose from) and click the Open button.
Download using Asset Manager
- Open Designer
- Open Asset Manager.
- Find the desired Sample Design in the list.

- Choose your downloaded sample design to open.
