MEET THE MATRIX SYSTEM
®
There is one central idea underlying the Matrix System
®
from MTi — that you should be able to
demonstrate any and all of the components in your System as they were meant to be demonstrated,
in any combination, with minimum effort. We have engineered the logic into our switching systems to
give you maximum flexibility and selling power.
What is a Matrix?
The dictionary defines a matrix as “a rectangular array of elements arranged into columns and rows.” In a
Matrix System
®
, the columns are Chains of Switching Modules controlling similar components, (e.g.,
Decks, Amplifiers, Speakers) and the rows consist of Positions on the Switching Modules with components
connected to them. The path along which signals flow between Chains is called the Bus. (Some systems
may have more than one bus.) The Matrix System
®
enables you to activate any component(s) within the
“matrix” by selecting the desired component’s horizontal (position number) and vertical (Chain name)
coordinates.
