AMX Matrix Mi Series Installation Manual

Overview - Mi Series Audio Controllers
The Mi Series system is an audio control and distribution system by AMX Matrix
Distributed Audio. It allows centralized control of common audio equipment, and
provides for up to 8 independently controlled music zones per chassis - each
capable of controlling the source via keypad, RS-232, IP address (Ethernet
Module), SWT Speakers (equipped with IR receivers), or the DAS-IRRX-SWT
Stealth IR receiver used with the (optional) DAS-MRC IR remote control.
Mi Series controllers consist of a centralized amplifier and control system,
controlled locally by a Keypad. Each zone may also be configured with 2 control
keypads.
Other sources such as Satellite Receivers, CD Players, MP3 Players, and any
other IR Controlled Audio Source can be patched into the RCA source inputs
located on the back panel.
Mi Series Audio Controllers are available in 120V (DAS-M0404, -M0406, -
M0408, -M0604, -M0606, -M0608, -M0804, -M0806, -M0808), or 240V versions
(DAS-MI0404, -MI0406, -MI0408, -MI0604, -MI0606, -MI0608, -MI0804, -
MI0806, -MI0808).

Front Panel Components:
• Navigation Buttons Allow for front panel programming, selection of sources, and
tuning AM/FM radio stations (when Controller is fitted with
the optional tuner board). The same array appears on the
Matrix KP-4e navigational keypad.
• IR Receiver This is where you must aim the remotes from your audio
source components so the Controller can learn and emulate
those commands.
• LCD Display Displays information necessary during the programming
steps and afterward is the display to indicate information
about the source input and zone activity.
Rear Panel Components:
• Power Switch & The master power switch will remain in the ON position
Receptacle
normally.
• Paging In/Out Ports RCA jacks to connect to Paging devices (any audio input
can be used as a paging device). The Paging device con-
nects to the Controller via the "Paging In" connector. The
"Paging Out" connector is used to carry the page to Zone
Expander(s).
• RJ 45 Port Ethernet Port for future expansion
• RS-232 Port 9-pin D connector to interface with NetLinx control systems.
• AM/FM Antenna Connections for the AM and FM Antennas.
