SETUP & CONNECTIONS
Check the contents of the shipping carton. Be careful when unpacking your new Moog Matriarch® so
that nothing is lost or damaged. Moog recommends saving the carton and all packing materials in case
you ever need to ship the instrument for any reason.
Matriarch ships with the following items:
Matriarch Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer
Power Supply
Owner’s Manual
Patch Cables
Registration Card
What you will need:
A table or surface where you can set your Matriarch. (30lbs / 13.61kg)
A 1/4” instrument cable and amplified speaker, or headphones with a 1/4” plug.
A properly wired AC outlet. (100 Volts to 240 Volts AC; 50/60 Hz)
POWER
Plug the included power adapter into the 12V DC power jack on the back of your Matriarch. Plug the
other end of the included power adapter into an AC outlet. Matriarch uses a universal power supply
that operates with power sources from 100 Volts to 240 Volts AC; 50/60 Hz.
NOTE: Your Matriarch is an analog instrument and should be allowed 10-15 minutes to warm up before use.
In cases where it has been left in a cold car overnight, for example, it may take as long as 25 minutes before
oscillator tuning has stabilized. Do not operate Matriarch in direct sunlight.
AUDIO OUTPUTS
With the Matriarch MAIN VOLUME knob turned all the way down, plug one end of a 1/4” (TS)
instrument cable into the MAIN OUT LEFT (MONO) jack on the rear panel to monitor the instrument
in mono. To monitor the instrument in stereo, connect a second 1/4” (TS) instrument cable to the
MAIN OUT RIGHT jack on the rear panel.
NOTE: The MAIN OUT jacks will work with both TS and TRS 1/4” cables.
Plug the other end(s) into an amplified speaker or mixing console line-level input. Raise the MAIN
VOLUME knob above the 12 O’clock position, and adjust the amplifier or mixer level accordingly.
HEADPHONE OUT
Also on the rear panel is a stereo headphone jack, complete with its own HEADPHONE VOLUME
knob for private listening or monitoring.
NOTE: This headphone jack is unaected by the MAIN VOLUME knob in the Output module on the front panel.
