“Undoubtedly the best GUI for CD's I've installed. My clients are AT LAST able to really use their CD libraries without having to call me. It's intelligent and intuitively designed and works without much explanation.” Brad Wells, Los Angeles “This thing is incredible! I had no idea what you were talking about when you sold it to me – but this is fantastic. Ray, this is worth the price of the whole system. I love it.” Joyce & Frank, Atascadero, CA “It took me all of 5 minutes to get the system up and running, zones labeled, internet hook up established…everything. In minutes I was downloading our CDs like an old pro. This is clearly the easiest system I’ve ever seen to install, download CDs and operate. Everyone in the office is taking turns loading up their favorite CDs. This systems rocks!!!!” Rich Radimer, ProACT Sales, New York		“I just wanted to drop you a note saying how wonderful my first install using your product went. I think that it took me less than 15 minutes to do the whole install and most of that was wire management. I think your product is the best media server I have installed to date. Looking forward to more similar experiences.” Michael Steinbeck, San Francisco “We have installed over 20 Qsonix systems locally, and have rarely had such a positive response to a product. Our clients absolutely love the Q100 and find it extremely easy and fun to operate. We have found it to be the easiest system to install and setup for our clients, and rarely requires training” Jay Frank, Agoura, CA “Absolutely the easiest set-up I have ever experienced” Fred Stahlhut, CMS Services, Seattle

Boyd Lundquist Thousand Oaks, CA “The Q100 has revolutionized my audio system. With more than 1000 CDs in my collection, there are lots of songs and albums I’ve forgotten that I even have. So like most people, I tend to listen to whatever comes to mind. But having them all on the Q100 and being able to browse or search by just about any criteria makes my old system look like the Stone Age. Plus, because the interface is so easy and engaging both my wife and daughter were using it in minutes. I can’t even imagine going back to a carousel changer.” Ken Harrisburger Bell Canyon, CA “I’d been attempting to integrate my iPod and iTunes into my audio system using Netunes on my PC. It was a nightmare. When I saw the demo of the Q100, it was like a breath of fresh air. The setup was effortless; there were no configuration or interface problems at all. And you can’t find an easier, more intuitive interface. With the drag n drop touchscreen GUI, my wife and kids were all browsing our collection and creating their own individual playlists in minutes. It’s made entertaining even more fun, because it takes me only minutes to create or modify playlists. It’s just so easy to use.” Julia Dilts Agoura Hills, CA “I used to be a DJ, so I’m a music fanatic. I’ve loaded more than 1000 CDs on to my Q100, and every bit of my experience with it as been wonderful. What I love most is how easy it is to manage all my music. I can search by just about any criteria, create playlists is seconds and sample tracks without interrupting an existing playlist. And having the album art appear for each CD brings back a lot of memories.” “There is also no intimidation factor at all with the Q100. In fact, we entertain a lot, and our friends have taken quite a liking to it – the women as much as the men. All our friends use it whenever they come over, and we don’t worry about them messing anything up. You can’t. It’s a real crowd pleaser.” Marc Menowitz Marina del Rey, CA “What really sold me on the Q100 was that it been a real social experience for me. There are two reasons for this: I had a party, and my guests were nuts about it. Their enthusiasm was overwhelming. The other thing that surprised me was that as my friends browsed my collection and created their own playlists, I learned more about what I actually had in my own collection. And I loved it. I have about 600 CDs loaded, and I never really knew everything I had. When I realized this, I was hooked.” Patrick Lowe Oak Park, CA “I am absolutely enthralled by this unit. My wife is enthralled by it. And my friends are enthralled by it, too. It’s an absolute blast. It makes listening to my music really fun again, especially since you can see the album art while listening to the music. That triggers a lot of memories. When I have friends over, we all find ourselves in front of the monitor searching for old favorites, sampling new selections, and adding the ones we want to our playlist.” “Before I would never listen to music like this. But this is so easy and so engaging that it’s fun again.” Mathew Summers Indianapolis, Indiana “I won the Q100 in an online sweepstakes, and I didn’t realize what I was getting. I was completely stunned when I realized what I had. The best way to describe it is to quote a friend of mine who said ‘It’s an iPod on steroids.’ And my friends are all jealous.” “There are so many advantages that the Q100 offers. The ability to so easily manage my collection and create playlists is fantastic. I can effortlessly create a party playlist in 5 minutes. It’s also fun seeing the album art. You tend to overlook that when you’re playing with CDs and jewel boxes. And loading the CDs is a no brainier. Once you hook it up to the internet, it does everything for you. It couldn’t be easier.”

Tony Amini Alessio’s Restaurant, Thousand Oaks, CA “I have 4 restaurants. The Q100 is currently in 3, and will be in the 4th one when the restaurant opens. Why? Because it works for me and my customers.” “I used to play satellite radio, but with almost 800 CDs loaded, the Q100 gives us total control over the music. I play what I want, when I want. I can play my own favorites, and I can often satisfy my customers’ requests, too. And you don’t hear any DJ’s.” “I can play one stream to the patio and a different one in the restaurant. We also set up playlists in each location for different timeslots during the evening, yet we still have the flexibility to change things on the fly. It’s very easy to do. All my bartenders and managers are trained to handle it all. Then again, it’s so easy” “There is a greater upfront cost compared to satellite radio, but you pay no monthly fees, so in the long run it’s cheaper, too. My only other concern is reliability, but we’ve been running all three of our units about 16 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we’ve never even had a hiccup. What’s not to like?” Tyler Williams Chapter 8 Lounge, Agoura, CA “I saw the demo for the Q100 when I was preparing to open Chapter 8. It was a no-brainer for me. It’s easy to operate, holds a ton of music, gives me complete control over the pace of the entire evening, and it’s damned cool.” “It’s been up and running since July when we opened, and it runs about 15 – 16 hours a day without any problems. I stream to two different zones simultaneously; one to my lounge and patio, and a separate one to the restaurant. We no have hundreds of CDs loaded, and my employees continue to add more to system. So our selection has gotten quite large and broad, which makes it more enjoyable for our customers.” “It’s been such a great system that we also installed one in our other restaurant a few miles away. Like I said, it’s a no-brainer.”

Ray Earl SmartSystems Integrated, Atascadero, CA “I first saw the Q100 at a trade show, and I fell in love with the way it operated. I like the Q100 so much I put one in my own home.” “I’m a Crestron dealer, and most of my installations up until now have included the AudioReQuest music server. But the user interface on the Qsonix server is unique. Nobody has anything like it; it basically sells itself. And even thought it’s more expensive, I’ve gotten no price resistance so far.” “My only hesitation at all is the fact that the company is still new. But so far I like what I see. And more importantly, I like what I hear from my customers. After about a week of using the Q100 one female customer said to me, ‘This music server is worth the cost of the whole installation.’ That level of customer satisfaction is priceless.”

Todd Berman Tab Technical Services, Thousand Oaks, CA “The commercial music installation market has long been the mainstay of companies like DMX, PlayNetworks and MusicChoice. After installing the Q100 and training the restaurant’s staff to use it, I can see how Qsonix’s music server could challenge the ‘big boys.” “From an installer’s point of view, this couldn’t be easier. It installs with the ease of a CD player; it’s simple plug and play. And training the staff to use it took less than 20 minutes. There’s nothing about the unit that isn’t well designed, and I’d recommend this to other customers without reservation.”
