MATRIX-600 FRONT PANEL CONTROLS & CONNECTORS
MASTER SECTION
1.Blue POWER LED: indicates that the
2.MASTER VOLUME: controls overall volume of the
3.Red PROTECT LED: indicates when the
4.MASTER OUTPUT LED meter: Five LEDs per channel help you set the output volume properly. The top red LED (+3dB) may blink occasionally but be sure to avoid constant blinking of this red LED to prevent heavy overload of the speaker system; allowing you to achieve clean sound and prolong the life of your speaker system.

DSP SECTION
6.DSP LEVEL: Controls the overall volume level of the
7.DIGITAL EFFECTS: The
8.DIGITAL EFFECTS ACTIVE: Turns on and off DSP effects.
9.DIGITAL EFFECTS TO RECORD: Adds or removes DSP effects from the RECORD outputs on the rear panel. This switch works only when the DIGITAL EFFECTS ACTIVE is turned on.
10.PARAMETERS: Changes the parameters of DSP effects, so you can alter the sound of your mix. Set and range of parameters depends on which effect is active.
MONITOR SECTION
11.LEVEL: Controls the overall level of the output signal of the mono MONITOR output on the rear panel. It is proportional to each channel’s setting by that channel’s MONITOR LEVEL. Also controls the
HEADPHONES output when the headphones are switched to MONITOR as a source on the rear panel.
12.EFFECTS TO MONITOR: Controls the level of the DSP effects added to the mix on the MONITOR output. It affords flexibility of monitoring the mix without added effects, or with lesser effects while providing the full power of the DSP effects to the MAIN outputs.
INPUTS 1 to 4
13.MIC INPUT: Combo XLR and 1/4” TRS connector for balanced dynamic or condenser microphones.
14.48V PHANTOM POWER: There are two switches recessed behind the front panel which turn 48Vdc phantom power on and off. Phantom power is used by condenser microphones and should not be used when dynamic microphones are connected. These switches are shared between channels 1 and 2, and between channels 3 and 4. Connect similar type microphones to these channels (i.e. do not connect dynamic MIC to channel 2 when a condenser MIC is connected to channel 1 and phantom power on channels 1 and 2 is turned on). When phantom power is activated, the red LED just above the switch illuminates. These switches are recessed to avoid accidental activation and loud clicking sounds during your performance, yet they are easily accessible. The
15.LINE INPUT: Balanced 1/4” TRS connector for mono
16.VOLUME: Controls the signal volume of each individual channel.
17.PAN: Controls routing the mono signals to either Left or Right speakers. Place PAN in a neutral position to keep source centered. Turning this control from center moves the image of the performer on this channel towards one side. Either fully clockwise or counter- clockwise will solely place the performer in either the right or left side.
INPUT 5
18.MIC/INSTRUMENT INPUT: Combo XLR and 1/4” TRS connector is used to connect two different sources. XLR is balanced low impedance input for dynamic microphone. 1/4” TRS is mono unbalanced high impedance input for a wider range of sources, such as an acoustical instrument with a pick up.
19.STEREO LINE INPUT: 1/4” TRS connector is a stereo
