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:
1.12 INPUTS and 12 OUTPUTS
2. In case of extension links, the maximum goes up to 192 inputs and outputs.
3.Broadcast different zones simply by paging unit control.
4.A remote control unit can assign the volume in different zones separately.
5.Control signals are transferred individually with dedicated wires separated from the audio
stream, avoiding conflicts and improving the flexibility and the reliability.
6. 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:

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.
INSTALLATION
