Introduction
What is a Matrix 6400 Audio Switcher?
The Matrix 6400 Audio Switcher is a 20 Hz to 20 kHz balanced/unbalanced stereo
or mono (depending on the model selected) audio 64x64 switcher housed in a rack-
mountable metal enclosure with internal universal switching power supply. It may
be used as a stand-alone audio switcher or as part of a Matrix 3200/6400 system
switcher.
In most installations an RS-232 program will be used to control the Matrix 6400
Audio Switcher as a stand-alone switcher or as part of a system switcher. Control
can be from any user-supplied controlling device capable of generating the proper
commands such as a PC using Extron’s Windows® control software or AMX,
Crestron, etc. An optional Front Panel Controller enables the user to perform most
configuration operations at the switcher.
