Plugging Up Your Matrix; Audio Connections - Solid State Logic Matrix2 Delta Owner's Manual

Plugging Up Your Matrix

Matrix2 includes the 5.1 Surround Monitor card assembly. This extends the EXT 1 and EXT 2 Inputs from 2 to 6 channels, thereby
providing two 5.1 Inputs and additionally extends the MAIN and MINI Monitor Outputs from 2 to 6 channels (to provide 5.1
monitoring). Note that Left and Right EXT, MAIN and MINI signals appear on the rear DB25 connectors. See list below.

Audio Connections

All audio connections are made to the rear of the console using high quality 25-pin D-type female connectors - the only
exceptions being the Mini LS monitor outputs which are available via 3-pin XLR male connectors. All connections are balanced,
and all cable screens are connected to the Matrix chassis. 0VU meter level corresponds to +4dBu output level.
