The MATRIX-200 is the newest member of the popular B-52 MATRIX family of active systems. Compact powerful and portable the MATRIX-200 delivers clean accurate sound ideal for both stage and music playback applications. The MATRIX-200 has a true 200-watt stereo amplifier built in 5-channel mixer studio-quality digital effects phantom power and numerous patch inputs / outputs.
BUILT-IN DSP EFFECTS
• Eight built-in high quality DSP effects
* Level control to mix processed signal
with main signal
* INPUT/MASTER switch to route effects
to either Master section or to
individual channels
• Powerful routing to combine optional
outboard effects with internal DSP effects
24-BIT DIGITAL EFFECTS
The MATRIX-200 includes a 24-bit, 8-position digital effects loop, that allows you to incorporate DSP controlled and digitally generated effects into your mix. Effects offer a wide range of "environments" to choose from including:
• Chorus • Chorus/reverb • Slapback • Echo • Large room • Small room • Small hall • Large hall
MATRIX-200 REAR PANEL
Speaker Outputs: Two full-range outputs of 100 watts each. The outputs are equalized to optimize the acoustic output of the MATRIX-200 satellite speakers.
Subwoofer Output: Switchable XLR balanced output allows you to add a subwoofer to extend the low frequency output. The sub switch must be in the OFF position if a subwoofer is not used. The switch ON position reduces the low frequency output of the full range stereo outputs.
Headphone: A 1/4" TRS phone jack stereo output is included for monitoring by headphone.
XLR INPUTS WITH PHANTOM POWER
The XLR microphone inputs are designed for use with low-impedance |Z| microphones or equipment that has a mic-level balanced output (direct-out). The balanced mic inputs include a 15 Volt DC phantom power source allowing the use of condenser microphones. Dynamic microphones can also be used with these connectors as the 15 Volts DC is too low to disturb their normal operation.
