MATRIX Mixer Amplifiers for Zoned PA Systems
The MATRIX series is built for the public address and voice alarm systems of large, distributed sites: shopping complexes, factories, airports, logistics terminals and multi-section business centres. Unlike ordinary mixer amplifiers, matrix models can broadcast different content to different zones at the same time — background music can play in the retail area, work announcements in the technical rooms and a separate programme in the offices. Cascading up to 6 amplifiers into one network expands the system to 36 independent zones.

Features of matrix systems
Each of the six channels works independently and can take a signal from any source — the built-in media player, line-level AUX inputs or VPA-MRX 636 remote paging consoles. Connecting the paging console over CAT6 twisted pair at up to 1 kilometre lets you place the operator's panel anywhere convenient on site — at a security post or in the control room, for example. For public address systems serving venues with large occupancy a matrix architecture is essential, because it provides separate announcements for each evacuation zone.
