Matrix Connections Matrix Connections
The Heritage 4000’s matrix outputs are located together on the rear of the console main body. Pairs of matrix
outputs and their corresponding insert points and direct input are located together
The matrix insert point is provided by two balanced TRS quarter-inch jack sockets, one send and one return per
output. The top insert point on the console will insert into the odd numbered output while the lower insert point
will insert into the even numbered output.
The output from the matrix is provided by a balanced male XLR socket. Again the top socket is used for the odd
numbered output while the lower socket is used for the even number output.
The direct input is connected to the matrix by a single balanced female XLR socket. The matrix direct inputs do not
have level control and are connected to the matrix buss at unity. The intention being that matrix direct inputs
should be used for console linking or similar operation.
The HS0041 matrix module provides control for four (4) matrix outputs per module. Two modules
are required per console.
For this reason, the upper and lower parts of the matrix module are duplicated to allow control over
all four matrix outputs per module. Ergo, we will consider only one pair of meters and controls per
module.
- T h e L E D b a r g r a p h m e t e r m o n i t o r s t h e p e a k
(post-fader) output level from the matrix.
- When depressed, the matrix output is assigned to VCA control from the
master fader so that the matrix output tracks changes in the master output.
- When depressed, the matrix output is connected to the monitor module talk buss so that
the talk mic, generator or external talk input may be routed to the matrix.
- When depressed, the matrix insert is enabled and the insert return is routed to the matrix
signal path.
- The matrix mute switch toggles the matrix mute. When lit, the matrix is muted at all
points after the insert send. This mute switch can be controlled by the snapshot automation
system.
- The safe switch removes the matrix mute from automation system control.
- The solo split switch changes the matrix AFL solos from mono to stereo.
- The matrix solo switch sends the matrix signal to the AFL stereo and PFL mono busses
and obeys the normal console solo behaviour. In solo add mode, input channels will take priority
over matrix solos.
- The matrix fader allows the continuous adjustment of the matrix output levels from off
(-inf) to +10dB.
