Six Channel Ultimate Performance
Line Driver
Let the Good Sounds Start!
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. Here we go!
Features of the Matrix Plus:
• High signal voltage capability:
13 volts peak output
• 24 dB of gain
• Six channels of input and output
• Balanced differential inputs
• Low-impedance outputs
• Optional Remote Level Control
(ACR-1)
• PFM Subsonic filter
• Output level controls
• Ultra-low distortion, ultra-quiet
operation
• Selectable ground isolation
• Optimum voltage indicator LED’s
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. With
that in mind we have provided six channels for input and six for output!
For even more flexibility, the Matrix Plus inputs can be linked internally
whereby one input channel can feed one, two, or three output channels.
Balanced Inputs
The Matrix Plus features balanced differential input circuit that rejects
noise that radiates into the signal path between the source unit and your
Matrix Plus. Even better, this circuit uses standard RCA connectors.
Anti-Oscillation Output Circuitry
Driving long lengths of cable can present a nasty capacitive load to
the source that has to drive them. This capacitance can cause instabilities,
which can lead to oscillations, radio interference and excessive system
hiss. The Matrix Plus’s low-impedance, high-current output circuitry easily
handles long cable runs without their associated problems.
Output Voltage Indicators
Setting voltage levels for optimum signal-to-noise performance can be a
real pain - especially when you have to get out the old digital voltmeter and
find a way to make those probes stay put while you try to read the dancing
LCD display. With the Matrix Plus’s voltage indicator LED’s, you can say
good-bye to that headache. Just turn the Matrix Plus gain control until your
favorite light flickers and you’re done!
