AUDIO MATRIX

Audio Matrix is a system contains multiple signal inputs and outputs, each input can be assigned to any output like matrix in mathematic. And there are parameters controls for all the inputs and outputs, flexible and changeable, all the configuration can be backed up and restored, easy to copy and to extend. Audio Matrix gives the ability to arrange complex audio disposition in one device, it provides the opportunity of humanized control for both professional and beginner.

SYSTEM PREVIEW

Audio Matrix is a system which combines the hardware with software. The core device is Matrix A8 or Matrix D8. The major features are listed below:

12 INPUTS and 12 OUTPUTS
In case of extension links, the maximum goes up to 192 inputs and outputs.
Broadcast different zones simply by paging unit control.
A remote control unit can assign the volume in different zones separately.
Control signals are transferred individually with dedicated wires separated from the audio stream, avoiding conflicts and improving the flexibility and the reliability.
The transmission for audio stream is based on AES/EBU protocol, while the control signal used a RS-485 format.

There are six members in the MATRIX SYSTEM family:

MATRIX A8 — Server host;
MATRIX D8 — Server host (Compared to A8, 8 analog I/O for the A8, 8 digital I/O for D8);
RVC1000 — Remote volume control with a link port;
RVA200 — Remote volume control with additional outputs;
RIO200 — Remote analog inputs and outputs;
RPM200 — Remote paging station.

By using a combination of the above six devices, most of the broadcasting or routing requirements can be fulfilled.
This system fits perfectly for schools, middle and small companies, supermarkets, bars and restaurants, health clubs, small libraries … The friendly and quick implementation of primary and advance parameters makes easy the design of professional as well as simple applications.

Here are some common examples:

a. LCD screen
It displays the volume level and the signal level for a dedicated output.
b. Volume control
Turn the button left or right to adjust the volume.
Push the button to access to the inputs and outputs routing menu.
c. RD port IN
Connection to MATRIX-A8. The maximum
CAT 5e cable length is 100 meters.
d. RD port LINK
Daisy connection for additional remote controller.

INSTALLATION

Pass cables through inner wall rear case, insert the incoming cable to the RJ45 port, and the extender cable to link port; then fix panel with crews and clip the decorated frame.

Installation

Channel assignment

Scroll encoder to move cursor on In* item, push to enter select interface, check the ones needed by clicking encoder. After the items checked, shift cursor to “exit” , push to back to main menu.

Channel assignment

Volume adjustment

Then run Matrix System Editor, make sure the IP is linked rightly by the remarks given by dialogs. At the main interface, you can drag the device in the left column to the right area, it is the operation to add a device. Please make sure the device you added is physically linked, or there would be no effects even if all settings are saved. Double click for specific operation, here we add a RVC1000.

If the device is connected properly, the gray rectangle in the left middle would turn to green.

Software Control

ID modification

Right click on the “DeviceID” position, the function menu popped up as shown; click “Change DeviceID” , then enter the number(4 bit) you wanted in the text box, finally click OK to save and to take effect.

Note: The first time to use the whole system, initial work to assign ID for each device is necessary for its functioning.

ID modification
