1.LOUDSPEAKER OUTPUTS – RIGHT and LEFT: Connect to right and left speakers accordingly. Use only speakers supplied with MATRIX-200 System.

2.SUBWOOFER OUTPUT: XLR output to connect optional active subwoofer to the MATRIX-200. While the MATRIX-200 is a full range active system, the very low frequency performance can be enhanced by adding an external subwoofer. The subwoofer will both extend the range of the system, and add increased low frequency output ability. The subwoofer XLR output jack has both left and right channels combined, minus the higher frequencies sent to, and reproduced by the satellite speakers. The XLR output only has signal present when the “sub sw” (sub switch; item # 3) is in the on position.

3.SUBWOOFER ON/OFF: Used to activate subwoofer output (2), and to activate high pass filters on main channels. This improves perform- ance of the system by causing a more ideal acoustical summation of the subwoofer and main speakers. It does so by limiting cone excursion, and by increasing the headroom available to both the speakers and amplifier.

4.HEADPHONES: 1/4” stereo jack used to con- nect headphones for monitoring when speaker use is not possible, or if headphones are prefer- able. NOTE: This jack is inactive if the speaker cables are inserted into the speaker output jacks

(1).

5.VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH: DO NOT CHANGE THIS SETTING WITH THE AC MAINS POWER ATTACHED! This switch is only used to modify the unit when it is transported to a differ- ent location with a different available AC mains source (such as moving a unit bought in the USA to Europe). Please check that this switch is in the appropriate position for your local electric source. WARNING: Using an improper setting on this switch can destroy the MATRIX-200, create an electrical hazard and void your warranty! Do not change this setting unless you must to match to the AC mains power available.

6.POWER ON/OFF: Press this switch to turn the MATRIX-200 on or off.

7.AC INLET: Male IEC AC mains connector for standard detachable AC mains cords. This cord will also need to change if the unit is moved between regions with different AC mains volt- ages. It will require an AC mains switch setting change as well.

8.FUSE HOLDER: This fuse depends on your local AC Mains voltage. For 115V setting, this fuse is a 5amp T5AL. For the 230V setting, the fuse used is a T2.5AL as shown.

CAUTION: Connect the power cable only after you have absolutely made sure that the local mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the device. If you connect to the wrong voltage, you may destroy the electronic components of the MATRIX-200 system.
