MATRIX mode
This mode is recommended for zone paging and paging
with background music using muting priorities.
It provides 8 levels of priority, with selection of First-In-
First-Out, Last-In-First-Out or mixing for inputs sharing
the same priority level. Event-based programming
allows complex input-to-output assignments to be
quickly changed, based on a VOX trigger or remote
contact closure, without altering volume or EQ
adjustments.
MATRIX mode is recommended for advanced paging
systems having complex dynamic routing requirements,
systems using multiple priority levels, and jobs with
special routing control requirements.
Refer to separate "9000 series amplifiers
Quick start guide – MATRIX MODE."

Notes
• Be sure to install the needed modules in the proper slots before programming the unit, as changing the quantity or location
of any modules will force the unit to erase all stored settings.
• Disconnect the AC power cord before proceeding.
MIXER mode
This mode allows for full matrix mixing of any desired inputs
to any desired outputs in the desired amounts. -- especially
for background music systems, AV systems, room-
combining systems, or systems using several microphones.
You can also add one level of priority for basic paging
functionality. The operator can make fine adjustments to the
mix in real time while actually monitoring sound output. Up
to 32 scene memories may be pre-set and recalled, storing
all parameters including routing, EQ and volume settings.
MIXER mode also provides automatic mixing (using the
gate and NOM attenuation functions), selectable channel-
grouping (for stereo operation), and zone-selectable priority
paging with variable ducking level.

2. POWER UP
Step 1. Plug in the AC power cord to the AC inlet on the rear panel.
Step 2. Press the [ENTER] key when the request to "ERASE MIXER MEMO?"
comes up on the screen. This will erase all previous programming to start
fresh. The unit will complete the initialization and automatically power off.
Step 3. Press the [ESC/BACK] key when either message "SINGLE-OUT APPLI?"
or "BGM/PAGE APPLI?" come up on the screen.
Please refer to the manual on the CD-ROM for details of each operation
mode.
Step 4. Press the [POWER] switch and proceed with programming.

3. SETTING EXAMPLE
The following is a step-by-step to a basic configuration
of a typical room combining system using A-9060DH or
A-9120DH in the Mixer mode, where there are two
microphones and two line level program sources from
room A, and another set of two microphones and two
program sources from room B.
Output #1 of the amplifier is going to room A, and output
#2 of it is going to room B. (Refer to the diagram)
Note
Please turn down the input level of every audio
source connected to each input before you power
up the unit. This will avoid any excessively loud
audio from speakers. Please turn those input levels
up slowly after the following programming is
completed.
[Input volume control]
Suggestion: –20 dB for each input level
To control level of input #1, press input #1 of [INPUT SELECT] key, and select
desired level by rotating the [INPUT VOLUME] knob.
To control level of input #2, press input #2 of [INPUT SELECT] key, and select
desired level by rotating the [INPUT VOLUME] knob.
Press the [MEMORY] key to have the screen go idle.
[Output volume control]
To control level of output #1, press [OUTPUT SEL] key until OUT1 will be on the
display, and select desired level by rotating the [OUTPUT VOLUME] knob.
To control level of output #2, press [OUTPUT SEL] key until OUT2 will be on the
display, and select desired level by rotating the [OUTPUT VOLUME] knob.
Press the [MEMORY] key to have the screen go idle.

3.2. Routing Setting for "Combined Room" Application
3.1. Input Setting
Step 1. Press input channel #1 with the [INPUT SELECT] key, and press [ ] key.
Step 2. Press the [ ] key to "SENSITIVITY".
Microphones should generally be set to around "–60", and line level sources to
around "–10".
Note: Set sensitivity level to closest match to manufacturer's sensitivity rating
for the microphone.
Rotate the [PARAMETER] knob to set the sensitivity for the input shown on the
display.
Step 3. Press the [ ] key to "PHANTOM".
Choose "ON" by rotating the [PARAMETER] knob clockwise if the input channel
shown on the display requires phantom power.
Note: See microphone manufacturer's specifications for phantom power
requirements.
Step 4. Repeat Step 1, Step 2 and Step 3 for input channel #2, #5, and #6.
[Store "combined room" memory]
As a factory preset, all inputs are assigned to both output #1 and output #2.
Store this routing as "combined room" SCENE memory as follows.
Step 1. Press and hold the [MEMORY] key to show "SCENE SETTING SAVE".
Step 2. Press [ENTER] key, and select the desired SCENE memory number (for
example, SCENE #01) to store the parameters by rotating [PARAMETER] knob.
Step 3. Press [ENTER] key to execute. Now, "SCENE 01" is a stored memory for
"combined room" application.

3. SETTING EXAMPLE
The following is a step-by-step guide to a basic paging configuration
with a typical A-9060DH or A-9120DH system in the Matrix mode.
There is a microphone in input #1, and a CD player (or equivalent line
level) in input #2.
The page and the BGM will share the same output #1.
The paging microphone will "duck" the background music of output #1
to allow the page to go through.
BGM will also go to output #2.
