  • Page 3: General Features

    Projects using DSP interfaces generally require a minimum number of inputs and outputs. This determines the choice and number of dedicated matrices. The DZ-MATRIX offers a wide range of input/output options to cover most applications. It can be used in two main modes: 3-1-1 On the LAN network: - Standard: 8 analogue inputs/8 analogue outputs on the DZ-MATRIX rear panel ports.

When the signal is above the threshold, the output signal remains identical to the input signal. Setting the ratio value to its maximum turns the Expander into a Noise Gate.
  • Page 15 English DZ-MATRIX - 12 x 12 Digital audio matrix 9 - COMP: A compressor can limit the dynamic range of a signal above a certain level. When the signal exceeds the threshold, it is compressed by a ratio greater than 1. Below the threshold, the input and output signals remain identical. Setting the ratio to its maximum value turns the compressor into a limiter.
