  • Page 6 QUICK START GUIDE EL-IPD-MTX-8CH APPLICATIONS The following applications are examples of how the EL-IPD-MTX-8CH Multi Zone Audio Matrix can be used. For more detailed system design guidelines, see the ELAN IP Amplifier Design Guide from www.elanhomesystems.com. The EL-IPD-8CH-MTX can be used in stand alone mode to support up to 13 input sources (4 digital, 8 mono / 4 stereo analog RCA and 1 stereo 3.5mm typically used as the doorbell input from an ELAN System Controller).
  • Page 7 Adding the EL-IPD-NAC-EXT -Network Audio Card gives the ability to combine multiple chassis in to one system. Combine the EL-IPD-MTX-8CH Multi Zone Audio Matrix with the EL-IPD-AMP-EXT Multi Zone Audio Extender to add up to 8 more zones of audio. Using Dante Audio Networking, the two chassis can be linked using standard networking equipment.
  • Page 8 By adding the EL-IPD-NAC-EXT - Network Audio Card to both EL-IPD-MTX-8CH Multi Zone Audio Matrix chassis, they can be connected to add up to 12 more zones and 12 inputs. Using Dante Audio Networking, the two chassis can be linked using standard networking equipment.
  • Page 9 QUICK START GUIDE EL-IPD-MTX-8CH If more sources are needed beyond the capability of a single EL-IPD-MTX-8CH Multi Zone Audio Matrix, the EL-IPD-PRE-MSI can be added to increase the number of inputs available. By adding the EL-IPD-NAC-EXT - Network Audio Card to both EL-IPD-MTX-8CH Multi Zone Audio Matrix and the EL-IPD-PRE-MSI Multi Zone Preamp Audio Matrix, they can be connected to add up to 12 preamp zones and 22 inputs.
  • Page 10 If remote sources are needed such as a TV’s audio output, the EL-IPD-PRE-SSI Local Audio Source input device can be used to send audio over the network to the EL-IPD-MTX-8CH Multi Zone Audio Matrix. Using Dante Audio Networking, the two devices can be linked using standard networking equipment. The EL-IPD-PRE-SSI is an additional source added to the direct input sources on the EL-IPD-MTX-8CH.
