Introduction
All-in-one wall panel
The MWX65 is an All-in-one wall panel designed for use in combination with AUDAC MTX series
matrix systems. This wall panel has a graphic display and can control the routing, volume, bass,
treble and mute for one zone. Besides those control functions, it also provides the possibility to
connect a microphone and a stereo line input source. The MWX65 wall panel should be connected
using UTP/FTP CAT5E (or better) twisted pair cabling.
The following functions of the zone can be controlled:
- Volume within a range of 0dB to -70 dB
- Input source selection
- Mute / unmute
- Bass within a range of -14dB to +14dB
- Treble within a range og -14dB to +14dB
The microphone input on the wall panel is connected using an XLR connector, while the line
inputs are implemented using RCA connectors.

Front panel description
Unbalanced line input
An unbalanced stereo audio source can be connected to these RCA connectors, creating an
additional local input.
Push-lock gain control potentiometer with clipping LED
The sensitivity for the line and microphone inputs can be adjusted with these potentiometers.
Through the push-lock mechanism, they can be opened and hidden again by pressing them.
Above every potentiometer is a clipping indicator LED provided which illuminates when clipping
of the input signal occurs. When this LED is lit, the signal is distorted and the level should be
reduced by turning back the potentiometer. The sensitivity for the line and microphone input can
be adjusted within a range of 0dB and -∞dB.
Balanced microphone input
A microphone can be connected to this XLR input connector, which allows voice announcements
to a particular zone. For powering condenser microphones, a phantom power voltage of 12 Volts
can be software enabled.
