A GUIDED
TOUR
OF THE Matrix
Plus
The
Outside
1. Inputs: The Matrix Plus will accept up to six channels
of
input
signal which means it will work with source units that have six channels
of
output
or
it
will accommodate three two-channel source units as in the
case
of
multi-media. All
of
the
inputs utilize a balanced differential input
circuit, which can cancel noise that radiates into the signal path.
2. Linking to Outputs: There is amazing flexibility with
the
Matrix
Plus for routing one input to one, two,
or
three outputs. These "Connected
to Main" LEDs light when the jumpers under the cover are set to route the
main input to outputs "Channel
2"
and/or "Channel 3". See page 7.
3.
Level
Control: These cool little knobs can increase
or
decrease the
amount
of
signal sent downstream to your signal processors
or
amplifiers.
With this control
you
can
get
up
to
24
dB
of
gain(13 volts peak)
or
12 dB
of
cut to maximize the amount
of
signal sent to your signal processors
or
amplifiers inputs. Before
you
start to crank
them
all
of
the
way
up,
remember this:
Most
amplifiers
can't
handle input voltages
over
4 volts
without clipping.
If
in
doubt, check with
the
amplifier manufacturer.
4. Outputs: The Matrix Plus has six channels
of
low impedance out-
put, which helps when
you
desire more output because
you
have too much
input. Huh? What
we
mean is each pair
of
outputs
on
your
Matrix Plus
has the strength
and
ability to drive more than
just
one amplifier.
In
fact,
you can drive up to 7 amplifiers
off
of
each pair
of
outputs, which means
you
have the possibility
of
driving 21 stereo amplifiers
or
even
42
mono
amplifiers! Wow!
5. Power:
If
you
see this one lighted, pat yourself
on
the back for prop-
erly connecting the
power
terminal.
6. Maximized:
When
these lights flicker while music is playing,
you're
pushing the limit - nearing the redline - entering the danger zone. Try
backing
off
on
the Gain Control until
it
stops flickering.
