NFor audio inputs and outputs, the length of exposed wires is critical. The ideal length is 3/16-inch (5 mm).

•If the stripped section of wire is longer than 3/16-inch, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them.

•If the stripped section of wire is shorter than 3/16-inch, wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

K Balanced and unbalanced audio input connectors — Each input has a

3.5mm, 5-pole captive screw connector for balanced or unbalanced stereo audio input. Connectors are included with each Matrix 12800 audio switcher, but you must supply the audio cable

See figure 2-10 to wire a connector for the appropriate input type and impedance level. Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the audio cable to the extended tail of the connector.

The audio level for each input can be individually set, via the front panel controller, either RS-232/RS-422 port, or the Ethernet port, to ensure that the level on the output does not vary from input to input. See the Matrix 12800 Switcher Front Panel Controller User Guide, and see chapter 3, “Virtualization/Control Software”, chapter 4, “Programming Guide”, and chapter 5, “Web Operations” in this manual.
