TRIAD INSTALLATION GUIDE - 8×8 V2 and 16×16 AUDIO MATRIX SWITCH
INTRODUCTION
The Triad 8×8 v2 and 16×16 Audio Matrix Switches enable up to 8 (or 16)
stereo audio sources to simultaneously play to 8 (or 16) audio outputs. Each
output zone can be adjusted with independent volume, bass, treble, EQ,
audio delay, balance, loudness and mono summing controls. Triad Audio
Matrix Switches are ideal for use with Control4 EA Series Entertainment
and Automation Controllers, delivering dependable, high-resolution audio
distribution throughout the home.
Triad Audio Matrix Switches require OS 3.2.0 or higher

audio sources.
G DIGITAL AUDIO INPUTS (5-8)
—
Digital coax and TOSLINK (S/PDIF)
connectors for up to 4 digital audio sources. Inputs 5-8 can be either
digital or analog, but not both. Digital inputs do not support multi-
channel audio. Digital sources must be stereo PCM.
H ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUTS (1-8)
—RCA jacks for line-level output. Every
output can play audio from any input.
