A D 5~--~~ ---------Six Channel Ultimate Performance Line Driver Let the Good Sounds Sta•t! You have just purchased an ultimate-performance autosound product; the AudioControl Matrix Plus six channel line driver. The Matrix Plus allows you to utilize every last bit of performance and sound quality that you've always strived for from your vehicle's sound system. So find a nice dry spot (we can't recommend any near us), take a load off and spend a few moments reviewing this Enjoyment Manual.
FEATURES AND HIGHLIGHTS High-Voltage Line Driver The Matrix Plus is a pre-amp line driver that takes the input signal from up to three source units, increases it (up to 13 volts peak) and then delivers it downstream. No more low signal output voltages to allow noise into the rest of your performance car audio system. Six Channel Inputs & Outputs The Matrix Plus was designed for ultimate pre-amp flexibility.
Selectable Ground Isolation Avoiding ground loops and grounding-related noises are of paramount importance in any installation. For this reason we have provided a flexible scheme of isolating signal grounds and power grounds. Programmable Frequency Match (PFM) Subsonic Filter Many car audio systems truly push the limits of their subwoofer... without really knowing it. Tuned enclosures affect the roll-off of many speakers, yet lots of source material force the speakers to play lower than expected.
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.

7. 1, 2, & 5 Volt: These lights will tell you when the signal level is at 1 volt, 2 volts or 5 volts. You'll most likely want at least the 2-volt light to flicker, more if the rest of your components can handle it. Any AudioControl component that you connect after the Matrix Plus Line Driver won't mind the 5 volt light flickering. Go ahead. Light it up! 8.
12. Channel Linking: To link the Main input to Ch 2 and 3 outputs, move the main jumper to the (opposite) position to enable the linking function. Then move the jumpers for Ch 2 or 3 or both channels to the "Connected to Main" position. The "Connected to Main" LEDs will illuiminate when the three jumpers for each Ch 2 and/or Ch3 are set correctly.

Signal-To-Noise: An Up and Coming Rock Group? Your systems signal-to-noise (SIN) ratio is the measurement between your audio signal level, which contains music, and your system's noise floor, which contains hiss, pops, buzzes, and whines. If you are listening to your buddies car audio systems and it has all of the above obnoxious sounds ... even when the music is playing, we call that LOW signal-tonoise.
Quick Install Guide Since some of you will want to install your Matrix Plus on your own we offer a few reminders in the following short section to speed up your installation.
