MATRIX OUTPUT (1 thru 4)
Matrix Master Controls
ProDesk-4 is equipped with 4 Matrix buses. Each Matrix can be a mixture of any of the 4 Groups or Main
output buses, along with an individual external input. Since each Matrix can be individually configured
for use, the outputs can be used as the main system feeds for the PA, or as supplimental feeds for
under-balcony speakers or guest rooms. Additional mixes for video or recording feeds are also possible.
The master controls are located above the 4 Group master faders. Each Matrix bus has its own TRS Ext-
Input jack, TRS Insert jack, and XLR balanced output jack (See rear panel for more detail).
External Input Level Control
This control provides level adjustment of an external signal into the associated Matrix bus. Each of
the 4 Matrix buses has its own Ext Input, but they are normalled (daisy-chained) together to allow
a single source (Ext Input 1) to feed all 4 matrix. See rear panel for more detail.
Left, Right, Center, and Mono Level Controls
These level controls determine the amount of the associated Left, Right, Center and Mono signals
being fed into the associated matrix system. A single switch in the Main output section (above the
Center fader) determines if these signals are derived pre or post the Master faders.
Group To Matrix Level Controls (1-4)
These level pots (1 through 4) control the amount of Group signals being fed to the associated
Matrix system. A switch in each Group output section determines if this signal is derived pre or
post its associated Group master fader.
Matrix Mute Switch (Internally Illuminated)
When this switch is activated, the output of the associated Matrix system is muted. The button will
illuminate Red when activated.
Matrix Output Level Control
Controls the output level of the associated Matrix.
Bus Level LED Monitor (Sig)
This bi-color Green/Red LED monitors the signal level on the associated Matrix mix bus. Varying
intensity Green indicates proper bus levels while Red indicates that signals are approaching 3dB of
clipping within the Matrix circuitry. Overload (Red) is sensed after the mix amp, at the insert return
and after the output amp.
Matrix Output AFL (Solo) Switch (Internally Illuminated)
The AFL switch assigns the post-level/post-mute Matrix signal into the console monitoring and
headphone systems.
