Setting Up Your MATRIX 2000 STEREO CONNECTION: Connect the right and left signals from your mixer or audio source to the right and left input connectors on the MATRIX 2000 using standard XLR cables. SOUND SOURCE L R TO RIGHT SATELLITE TO LEFT SATELLITE SETTINGS: Subwoofer Level Control: It is recommended to set the Subwoofer Gain control to 3/4” of the way up (3 o’clock position). If you wish to add bass, simply turn up the Subwoofer Gain control.
DUAL MATRIX 2000 SET-UP: SOUND SOURCE L R TO LEFT SATELLITE TO LEFT SATELLITE TO RIGHT SATELLITE TO RIGHT SATELLITE Using a dual MATRIX 2000 system will cover a wider area and can be used for larger venues. It is recommended that the subwoofers be placed near each other as this will result in low-frequency coupling and provide a stronger bass output.
