matrix expansion
The X-VCA offers a matrix expansion system. In additional to the four matrix
outputs available withing the console, the individual matrix feeds can be brought
out of the console and fed into an external matrix mixer, produced by Crest.This
matrix mixer is the X-Matrix, a single rack space unit that provides two additional
matrix mixes. Multiple X-Matrix units can be dasy-chained together for any num-
ber of additional matrix mixes. For more information see the section on X-
Matrix.
matrix expansion connector
A 37-pin D-Sub connector makes all of the matrix feeds available on the rear
panel.These signals can be fed to the Crest Audio X-Matrix unit, any other Matrix
mixer, or stand alone mixing board. Feeding these signals to a mixer other than
the X-Matrix requires a custom-terminated multi-pin cable that mates to this
connector.
The following feeds are available from the Matrix expansion connector:
1.Audio groups, 1 through 8
2. Left, Right and Mono masters
3. External Matrix In #1
3.Talk back audio signal
4. Solo audio signals
5. Solo control signal
6. Power feed, specifically configured to run X-Matrix units.
*All of the audio signals are balanced.
*The Matrix Pre/post buttons on the Groups and L/R/M masters apply to these
feeds, as well.
Matrix output connectors (1 through 4)
These balanced male XLR connectors carry the Matrix master outputs 1
through 4.
Matrix external input connectors (1 through 4)
These balanced TRS connectors allow external line level signals to be
added to the four Matrix busses.Their levels are controlled by the Matrix send
pots located in the master section. A signal fed into External Matrix 1 also gets
routed (after it's level control) to the Matrix expansion connector.
