MT110-103

8X8 Mono Audio Matrix Switcher

The MT110-103is a Balanced Audio Matrix Switching Card. This card allows any input to be independently switched to any or all of the outputs. All inputs and outputs can be wired for unbalanced audio, or they can be wired for balanced audio allowing longer cable runs and superior noise resistance. Additionally, the MT110-103has variable gain for each output.

As a “transparent” distribution amplifier, this card utilizes AC coupling on its inputs for ideal signal transfer characteristics. Switching is controlled with easy-to-use ASCII commands from a control system or computer connected to the RS-232 port of a MultiTasker enclosure or from the keys programmed on the front panel of the MultiTasker. Each card uses two slots in a MultiTasker enclosure, and all input and output connections are accomplished via captive-screw terminal blocks.

Although designated as an 8x8 matrix switcher, the MT110-103can be used in a variety of ways to provide different capabilities. For example, one 8x8 card can handle mono audio while two 8x8 cards handle stereo audio, or a single 8x8 card can be used to create a 4x4 stereo audio matrix.

The HelpInside™ feature allows programmers to have access to command structures and control of the MT110-103from any terminal using the [HELP] command. In conjunction with ALTINEX’s unique command structure, HelpInside™ provides easier-than-ever control of MultiTasker cards with simple keyboard commands. No typing of long keyboard strings is necessary.
