WARNING
-
Power Supply
Ensure the source voltage matches the voltage of the power supply before turning ON the apparatus.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. -
External Connection
The external wiring connected to the output hazardous live terminals requires installation by an instructed person, or the use of ready- made leads or cords. -
Do not Remove any Cover
There are maybe some areas with high voltages inside, to reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove any cover if the power supply is connected.
The cover should be removed by the qualified personnel only. No user serviceable parts inside. -
Fuse
To prevent a fire, make sure to use fuses with specified standard (current, voltage, type). Do not use a different fuse or short circuit the fuse holder.
Before replacing the fuse, turn OFF the apparatus and disconnected the power source. -
Protective Grounding
Make sure to connect the protective grounding to prevent any electric shock before turning ON the apparatus. Never cut off the internal or external protective grounding wire or disconnect the wiring of protective grounding terminal. -

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Read these instructions.
- Follow all instructions.
- Keep these instructions
- Heed all warnings.
- Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
- Power Cord and Plug
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug.
A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding
type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the
third prong are provided for your safety.
If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
* Cleaning*
When the apparatus needs a cleaning, you can blow off dust from the apparatus
with a blower or clean with rag etc. Don’t use solvents such as benzol,
alcohol, or other fluids with very strong volatility and flammability for
cleaning the apparatus body. Clean only with dry cloth.
Servicing**
Refer all servicing to qualified personnel. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating
instructions unless you are qualified to do so .
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as
power supply cord or plug is damaged , liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall
remain readily operable.
FOREWORD
Thanks to purchase the product of our company, please read this manual
carefully before any operation.
Note: This guide contains all the information for the series needed,
there might be some differences between the entity and the description, please
refer to the real product for criterion.
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:
BASIC OPERATION
RVA200 –Volume Control with Audio Out
The RVA200 has the same functionality as the RVC1000 volume control, but it
includes 2 additional analog outputs. The device includes a build in D/A
converter processing digital audio AES3 signals from MATRIX-A8.
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 function. c. RD
port
Connection to MATRIX-A8. The maximum CAT 5e cable length is 100 meters.
d. Analog OUT
2 channel analog line Outputs assigned to RD port 9/10 or 11/12 of MATRIX-A8.
INSTALLATION
Pass cables through inner wall rear case, insert the cable to the RJ45 port,
and insert the phoenix terminal to dedicated port; then fix panel with crews
and clip the decorated frame. Please check the screen, it should be lit and
show “ID … ..” , after ID set, it would indicate “&” ( is to
represent a 4bit number.) Note this is under presupposition the other end is
linked with a sever host and be powered on.
OPERATION
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.
Volume adjustment
Rotate encoder to move cursor on Output* item, push encoder and turn over to
select the channels needed to be adjusted. Click to confirm the output, scroll
to adjust. Value shows on the upper right corner of the screen.
SOFTWARE CONTROL
Please use high rated network cable to connect the Ethernet port of PC and the
LAN port of serve host device. Then run MatrixSystemEditor, 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 RVA200.
If the device is connected properly, the gray rectangle in the left middle
would turn to green.
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. Device rename
Double click on the device block, and the click the “CHANGE DEVICE NAME” on the shown dialog, another window popped up, enter the name you wanted to textbox and click “Submit” button to save.( Please make sure the name can only consist of alphabets, numbers and common symbols.)
