MATRIX A8
Digital Signal Processor
MATRIX-A8 is a DSP for music distribution, paging and zone management system for commercial and fixed installations. It features up to 20 inputs and 20 outputs in a single device powered by a state-of-the -art DSP circuity. Easy to operate and to install thanks to an intuitive GUI, it offers a large number of remote controllers for a wide range of applications.
Features
8 analog IN x 8 analog OUT
4 digital IN x 4 digital OUT
8 Dante IN x 8 Dante OUT
Up to 192 IN x 192 OUT
DSP functionalities
Fix architecture for easy and quick operation
Intuitive GUI with PC and Apps software editor
Extended remote controller options
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
