MASTER SECTION
The Master Section gives the operator overall control of the settings
that apply to all inputs.
1. MASTER - BASS: Adds or subtracts bass to the MATRIX-200 out-
put.
2. MASTER - MID: Adds or subtracts the mid-range frequencies pro-
duced by the MATRIX-200. This control will add vocal clarity or
instrument
presence.
3. MASTER - TREBLE: Adds or subtracts the high range frequencies in
the overall mix.
4. MASTER - PLAYBACK: Controls the volume of the playback input
jacks, shown as No.23 on the diagram (right).
5. DIGITAL EFFECTS - LEVEL: Controls the mix level of the built in
effects.
6. MASTER - DIGITAL EFFECTS: The MATRIX-200 features eight versa-
tile settings designed to suit a host of differing musical needs and
tastes such as Large Hall, Large Room, Small Hall, Small Room, Echo,
Slap Back, Chorus Reverb and Chorus.
7. DIGITAL EFFECTS SOuRCE: MASTER/INPUT SWITCH: Controls rout-
ing internal DSP effects to either MASTER section, or to individual
channels.
8. MASTER - POWER: When this LED is illuminated, the MATRIX-200
is connected to AC mains voltage and powered on.
9. MASTER - VOLuME: Controls overall volume of the MATRIX-200
except for the playback inputs (See Description 4).
INPuT SECTION
The Input section of the MATRIX-200 controls various aspects of
the external audio sources which can be plugged into the mixer,
including microphones, guitars, keyboards and certain other devices
equipped with either 1/4” jacks, 3.5mm stereo jacks, or microphone
outputs
10. INPuT - EFFECTS: Controls level of each individual channel rout-
ed to digital effects section when Effects Master/Input switch is in
Source position. These controls are not active when Effects Master/
Input switch is in Master position.
11. INPuT – TONE: Adjusts tonal balance of each individual channel.
Turning tone counter-clockwise adds bass, while turning tone clock-
wise adds treble.
12. INPuT – PAN (PAN/BALANCE on Channel 5): Controls routing
mono signals from Channels 1-4 to either Left or Right speakers.
Place PAN in neutral position to keep source centered. Turning this
control from center moves the image of the performer on this chan-
nel towards one side. Either fully clockwise or counter-clockwise
will place this performer in either the right or left side alone. PAN/
BALANCE on Channel 5 balances stereo image on stereo sources
connected to either STEREO LINE 1/4” jack (15) or stereo MP3/CD
3.5mm jack (16), or pans mono source
connected to INSTRUMENT 1/4” jack (17).
13. INPuT – VOLuME: Controls volume of each individual channel.
14. INPuT – LINE: Unbalanced 1/4” jack inputs for channels 1-4.
Will accept wide variety of music sources. Tip is connected to signal
(+), while sleeve is connected to signal ground (—).
15. INPuT – STEREO LINE: 1/4” stereo jack to connect stereo sources
with line level output(s).
16. INPuT – MP3/CD: 3.5mm stereo pin plugs (TRS style) connects
so that your portable music source(s) can be used as an input to
play through your MATRIX-200.
17. INPuT – INSTRuMENT: 1/4” jack input for string instrument, such
as acoustical guitar with passive pickup, or electrical guitar.
18. INPuT – MIC: Balanced XLR inputs to connect low-impedance
microphones to channels 1-4. These inputs will accept virtually any
microphones, both dynamic and condenser. All four XLR inputs are
phantom powered to provide voltage required by condenser micro-
phones. These inputs will also accept any mic-level balanced signals.
PATCH SECTION
19. INSERT INPuT/OuTPuT LEFT and RIGHT: 1/4” jacks to connect
external processing device, such as compressor or equalizer to
MATRIX-200. Each 1/4” jack has input and output; one jack for
Left channel and one jack for Right channel. SLEEVE on 1/4” jack
is connected to the ground. RING must be connected to the input of
external device, and TIP must be connected to the output of exter-
nal device. Please refer to the diagram labeled “Y-Cable Setup” on
Page 7 of this manual for a graphic depiction of this.
NOTE: Different processors may have a different configuration than
the MATRIX-200 on their connectors. Please review the manual
information of the external processor before assuming it is the same
as the
MATRIX-200. If the external processor uses a different connection
standard, then you will likely need to buy adaptors to properly con-
nect the two units together.
NOTE: Do not insert Mono 1/4” jacks into insert jacks.
20. EFFECTS SEND/RETuRN LEFT and RIGHT: 1/4” jacks to connect
external effects processor. Each 1/4” jack has input and output;
one jack for Left channel, and one jack for Right channel. SLEEVE
on 1/4” jack is connected to the ground. RING must be connected
to the input of external processor, and TIP must be connected to the
output of external processor. Please refer to the diagram labeled
“Y-Cable Setup” on Page 7 of this manual for a graphic depiction
of this.
NOTE: Different processors may have a different configuration than
the MATRIX-200 on their connectors. Please review the instruction
manual information of the external processor before assuming it is
the same as the MATRIX-200. If the external processor uses a differ-
ent connection
standard, then you will likely need to buy adaptors to properly con-
nect the two units together.
NOTE: Do not insert Mono 1/4” jacks into insert jacks.
21. FOOTSWITCH EFFECTS/MuTE: This 1/4” jack is used to connect
footswitch to remotely mute digital effects and master volume.
22. RECORD OuTPuTS: RCA jacks to connect stereo recording device
to MATRIX-200. This record output is unaffected by the Master vol-
ume control.
23. PLAYBACK INPuTS: RCA jacks used to connect stereo source
to MATRIX-200. This input bypasses all controls, including Master
Volume (9) and Equalizer (1), (2), and (3), and is controlled
only by playback level control (4). It is also not affected by Mute
Footswitch (22).
