Product Details

The Automix Matrix 780 provides tools for consistently clear audio in courtrooms, government chambers, corporate boardrooms and houses of worship.

Setup is easy and efficient with a straightforward Windows® interface connected over Ethernet. Compatible with Symetrix RS-485-based Adaptive Remote Control (ARC) Wall Panels for user control.

An interactive front panel provides convenient access to vital system parameters or may be programmed for user and technician control.

Open Collector outputs drive LEDs directly for status updates or integrate with external logic and automation systems.

Featuring:

  • Twelve inputs (eight microphone, four line level)
  • Eight outputs
  • Automixing (Gating and Gain-sharing) and Submixing
  • Routing and Processing
  • Matrix mixing
  • Microphone pre-amplification
  • Feedback elimination
  • Compression  and Equalization
  • Limiting and Delay
  • Filters and AGC

Architects & Engineers Specifications

The device shall provide eight inputs that are selectable as line or mic level with phantom power and four line level inputs. All signal processing, mixing and routing functions (including input gains) shall be controllable via software. Audio inputs and outputs shall be accessed via rear panel Phoenix connectors.

The Graphical User Interface (GUI) software shall be installer programmable using the Windows® XP or Vista operating system. Computer connection and control shall be via the devices’ rear panel Ethernet connector. The GUI shall provide display and control of all signal processing and configuration functions including, but not limited to: Input and Output Gain • Highpass Filtering • Lowpass Filtering • Parametric Equalization • Compression • Limiting • Automatic Gain Control • Feedback Elimination • Automatic Mixing • Signal Routing • Delay • Polarity.

The front panel shall include input and output signal present indicators as well as indicators for POWER, NETWORK, and ARC. Additionally, a front panel LCD shall display certain system parameters and may be programmed as an ARC for custom user control via the front panel UP, DOWN and MENU buttons.

External control shall include preset selection as well as I/O level control and muting, and shall be via industry-standard CAT5 cable with RJ45 connectors using the optional ARC Wall Panel remote controls or the front panel. All program memory shall be non-volatile and provide program security should power fail. The device shall provide an on board real time clock to facilitate automatic, timed changing of presets. A rear panel RS-232 port is provided for additional 3rd party control options.

Audio conversion shall be 24-bit, 48 kHz. The dynamic range of the processor shall not be lower than 110 dB A-weighted.

The device shall have an IEC power input socket. The unit shall meet UL/CSA and CE safety requirements. The unit shall be RoHS compliant. The chassis shall be constructed of cold rolled steel and aluminum, and mount into a standard 19” 1U EIA rack.

The device shall be a Symetrix model Automix Matrix 780.
