🎛️ What Is a Matrix Mixer
🔀 Routing
Any input → any output at any level. BT → hall 80% + terrace 50%. Mic → hall only. BGM → WC only. Fire paging → all zones. A sound router for the entire venue.
🏢 Who For
Restaurants (hall, bar, terrace, kitchen, WC). Hotels (lobby, restaurant, conference, pool, gym, corridors). Malls (floors, zones, food court, parking). Conference centres. Churches. Offices. Gyms.
📦 Format
Rack-mount (1U–3U, 19"). In utility cabinet. 24/7 unattended. Control: wall panels, app, web. Staff pick source and volume — no access to technical settings.
🔀 How the Matrix Works
📐 N × M
N inputs × M outputs (zones). 8×8 = 8 sources, 8 zones. Each input has a level control per output. Visually: a grid — rows are inputs, columns are zones, each cell is a level.
🎵 Example
Restaurant, 4 zones: BT → hall 80%, bar 60%, terrace 50%, WC 30%. Mic → hall 100%. USB → WC 100%. Fire → all 100%, everything else muted.
🔌 Zone Mix
Each zone receives a mix from multiple sources. DSP: EQ for room acoustics, limiter, delay. Every zone sounds optimal.
🎛️ DSP Processing
📊 On Inputs
Gain. 48 V. Parametric EQ (3–10 bands). Compressor. Noise gate. Auto-mixer (for conferences).
📊 On Outputs
Parametric EQ. Limiter. Delay. Crossover (top+sub). Ducker/paging — auto-duck music on announcement.
🔊 Priorities
Level 1: fire → mute all, paging all zones. Level 2: evacuation. Level 3: manager mic (ducking). Level 4: BGM. Automatic.
🔌 Inputs
🎤 Mic / Line
XLR + jack. Phantom 48 V. 4–16 analogue. Combo: mic or line per input.
📱 BT / USB / Streaming
Bluetooth — music from phone. USB — MP3 or laptop. Streaming module (some): Spotify, AirPlay, Chromecast. BT is a must-have for restaurants.
🌐 Dante
Network audio input via Ethernet. From other mixers, stage boxes, media servers. For large venues. One cable = dozens of channels.
🔊 Outputs & Zones
📐 Line Outputs
4–16 line (XLR/Euroblock). Each = one zone → zone amplifier 70V/100V or low-Z.
⚡ Built-In Amps
Some: combo mixer-amp. 4–8 zones × 20–120 W. 70V or low-Z. All in one box. For smaller venues.
🌐 Dante Outputs
Digital → network amplifiers. One Ethernet cable. Amp near speakers. Scalability.
📱 Control
🖲️ Wall Panels
Volume + source select per zone. Simple (knob + buttons) or touch (LCD). Cat5e from mixer.
📱 Mobile App
Phone/tablet via Wi-Fi. Source, volume, presets. Access limits: bartender sees own zone, manager sees all.
💻 Web & Integration
Web interface: full DSP setup. Crestron/Control4/AMX: one panel = lights + sound + climate. GPI/GPO for triggers.
⏰ Automation
📅 Scheduling
Auto-change sources, volume, presets by time. Morning: quiet jazz. Lunch: louder + terrace. Evening: different playlist. Night: auto-off. No staff needed.
🔊 Presets
"Morning", "Lunch", "Party", "Conference", "Banquet". One press → routing, volume, EQ of all zones reconfigured instantly.
🛡️ Priorities
Level 1: fire. Level 2: evacuation. Level 3: manager mic (ducking). Level 4: BGM. Automatic.
⚡ Amplifiers
🔊 70V/100V
Separate or multi-channel (4/8 ch). 20–250 W/zone. Rack-mount beside mixer.
⚡ Low-Z
For powerful zones (dance floor): 4/8 Ω. More bass, higher SPL. To mixer line output.
🌐 Dante Amps
Network amps: audio via Dante. One Ethernet. Amp near speakers. For large venues.
🌐 Dante & Network
📐 Why
Large hotel: multiple mixers (per floor) linked by Dante. Central control. Shared sources. One media server → all zones. Scalability.
🔌 Architecture
Mixer (Dante) → switch → Dante amps throughout venue. Or: Dante stage box (inputs) → Ethernet → mixer → amps. All on Cat6. Remote diagnostics.
⚖️ Matrix vs Regular Mixer
✅ Matrix
Any → any. Independent zones. DSP. Priorities, ducking. Scheduling. Wall panels. Crestron. 24/7. For installations.
⚠️ Limitations
Pricier. Complex setup (needs installer). Not for live mixing. Less "creative" control.
🎯 When Matrix
2+ zones. Different sources per zone. Automation needed. Staff control (panels, app). Paging priority. Permanent installation.
