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 1000 system.
Caution: The Left and Right 10” two-way outputs are
designed for a nominal impedance of 4 ohms. Under no
circumstance may the impedance dip below the value as
this might damage the MATRIX 1000 amplifier.
SETTINGS
Left & Right Gain Controls: After turning on
your MATRIX 1000 using the on/off switch
located on the rear amplifier plate of the
active subwoofer, set the LEFT and RIGHT
Gain controls to the center position (or facing
straight up). This is the ideal position to oper-
ate the MATRIX 1000 if you have connected
a mixer to the system. Alternatively, if you
have connected a CD Player or other sound
source, it is recommend that the Gain con-
trols are turned all the way clockwise to
achieve peak volume.
During performance, if your MATRIX
1000 shows signs of distortion, check the
sound source and, if applicable, reduce the
sound levels. If it is not possible to reduce the
sound levels at the source, simply turn down
the gain levels on the rear amplifier panel of
the MATRIX 1000.
SETTINGS
Subwoofer Level Control: It is recommended
to set the Subwoofer Gain control to halfway.
At this position – and with the 10” Two-way
speakers set in a similar position – the
MATRIX 1000 should be perfectly balanced. If
you wish to add bass, simply turn up the
Subwoofer Gain control.
Ground Lift Switch: At times you may experi-
ence a low-frequency hum. At this time,
engage the ground lift switch to eliminate this
hum. If this does not eliminate the hum, please
check cabling and sound sources.
