Mix page

ON buttons & Solo On

The ON buttons activate each of the 5 inputs. Three stereo

channel pairs and 2 mono. When SOLO ON is inactive you

can listen to all five inputs simultaneously. When SOLO ON

is activated only one input can be active at a time.

When using Solo mode the Dissolve timing parameters,

found on the Setup page, sets the input/output fade time

on the Fader groups.

Faders 1-5 and Master Fader

Range: Off to +12 dB

Level control for the input sources and Master Fader for

the entire algorithm.

Bit Transparency indicators

Indicates when level settings allow for 100% bit

transparency. This is possible at 6 dB intervals. 0 dB, -6 dB

etc. When both LEDs are lit you have bit transparency.

48 bit precision mixing

Precision mixing in the digital domain is a hot topic among

audiophiles. Matrix 88 was designed to handle and

mix high resolution audio without any loss of resolution

or low level detail. In combination with System 6000’s

synchronous design and immense jitter-rejection, this is

how good digital summing gets.

Signal handling and mix busses are 48 bit throughout in

Matrix 88, and the Main busses have upsampled BrickWall

2 limiters to take care of summing overs, should any occur.

Note how input and output faders also operate in the 48 bit

domain, thereby enabling loss-free cut and even boost.

Matrix 88 is bit transparent from all inputs to all outputs

with or without delay enabled. Bit pattern transparency is

indicated by green dots next to the faders on the Mix page.

Note how Pan and Balance controls are bit transparent and

unity gain at center position. Only one channel is affected

when the control is moved away from center position. This

approach could be called “constant transparency” rather

than, i.e. “constant power”.

Because of bit-pattern transparency, you may pass and

gain adjust even dithered master tracks without introducing

dither again. If the limiter kicks in, dither will momentarily

be upset, but only at a point in time where it makes no

difference anyway, namely just after a peak has occurred.

In addition to perfect digital summing, Matrix 88 is also

the ultimate A/B/C stereo switch. Inputs may be aligned

precisely in level and time, and switching between them

may have well defined cross fades. One important

application for precision switching is the ability to judge a

track or program using different processing, while keeping

loudness and other variables constant.

Gain Reduction meters

Indicates the Limiter gain reduction.
