CFor unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. DO NOT connect the sleeves to the negative (-) contacts.

NBy default, the audio gain of each output is set to 0 dB (unbalanced) and 6 dB (balanced). To reduce this setting by 6 dB (-6 dB [unbalanced], 0 dB [balanced]), see “Setting the default audio gain” in chapter 6, “Upgrades and Maintenance“.

By default, the audio output follows the video switch. Audio breakaway, is available via the front panel, either RS-232/RS-422 port, or the Ethernet port. 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.
