    QSC Shoots and Scores at Derby County Football Club's Pride Park Stadium

    Derby County Football Club claims to have the loudest and best sounding stadium in the UK, having installed redundant Q-SYS™ Core 1100 processors, along with QSC CXD 4.3Q amplifiers and QSC Q-SYS I/O Frame processors.
