Bypass
The first Position (A Position) of the first (-1) Module in a Chain can be used as a bypass to allow the Bus a
route to pass a signal through a Chain that has no components selected (generally used for processor-type
components, such as Amplifiers and Equalizers). Although each Module can switch up to eight components,
the first Module in a Chain that has a bypass would switch only seven.
Switching for All Applications
Because audio/video components differ in their input/output requirements, MTi manufactures a number of
different Switching Modules, each with a different configuration of input/output capabilities. (See Figure 20,
page 39, for a complete listing.) Each Module contains one or two sets of eight component connection
Positions, plus input/output Bus connections. Some Modules switch only low-level signals, some only high,
and some have sets of low- and high-level connectors on the same Module. The Matrix
®
product line also
includes Switching Modules with various other connectors.
