Quick Start

To Select a Specific Input

The ProMatrix unit is normally set to monitor input activity and, based on the default or installer-created priority table, automatically switches the proper input for each amp/channel. You can override the priority switching feature of any amp/channel to select a specific input to be on continuously.

1. Press the AUTO button. Its indicator LED will flash. and the alphanumeric display will show

2. Press the desired input selector but- ton (MIC A/B, AUX A/B/C/D). The selected input will appear on the dis- play and its indicator will flash (50% on/50% off) in sync with the AUTO indicator.

Note: If a different amp/channel is selected, the AUTO LED will flicker (90% on/10% off) to indicate that one or more of the other amp/channels is under manual control.

To identify which amplifier is under manual control

Press each AMP button until the AUTO indicator and input indicator (AUX A, B, etc.) flash together.

To Return to Auto Switching

Find the amp/channel that is under manual control.

Press the AUTO button once. The current input (based on priority) will appear on the display. Its indicator will light steady as will the AUTO indica- tor (unless another channel is in manual mode, in which case the indicator will flicker). This sets only the current amp/channel into the auto-switch mode. Any other amp/channels that have manually selected inputs will need to be returned to auto-switch mode using the same procedure described above.

Note: The amp/channel must be in AUTO mode before another manual input can be selected.
