The Matrix A8 Digital Signal Processor features a 20 x 20 digital audio matrix mixer expandable upto 192 in x 192 out by daisy chaining upto 16 units together. Each unit includes 8 analog IN / 8 analog OUT via local ports (Screw terminal connector) 4 digital IN / 4 digital OUT via remote input panels (Cat6 connector) & 8 digital IN / 8 digital OUT via DANTE optional module card.
The processor can be controlled through the proprietary Matrix Controller software which utilizes a familiar hardware-like layout to enable a short programming timeline and rapid hardware implementation. The user-friendly editor makes any setting or modification easy. It reports the control status in real time with clear graphic indications for all functions. MATRIX-A8 uses four types of connections all CAT5e compatible:​
RCNET, based on RS-485 transfer protocol, for MATRIX link (daisy chaining of processors)​RD, based on AES3 transfer protocol for point to point digital audio transport plus RS-485 for panel control. (used to connect to the remote volume connectors or I/O panels) Ethernet Dante for multi-channel digital audio transport.​
Ethernet TCP/IP for LAN control
