Pro Tools | MTRX II Chassis and Expansion Cards
Pro Tools | MTRX II is a modular unit with standard digital I/O and processing built-in. It also provides eight expansion card slots for
optional analog and digital I/O, and processing cards. All eight slots can be used with any combination of expansion cards.
MTRX II has a dedicated slot for an optional Dual MADI I/O mini-module (MADI). The MTRX Dual MADI I/O module uses “Small
form-factor pluggable” (SFP) transceiver modules, which provide 2 x 64 MADI channels (optical or coaxial).
The MTRX II has a dedicated slot for an optional Thunderbolt 3 module with 2 USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports for I/O connectivity between
your computer and MTRX Studio.
Rack Mounting MTRX II
If you install MTRX II into a 19-inch rack, be sure to leave plenty of room for ventilation.
MTRX II is fitted with two ultra-quiet fans to ensure optimum operating temperature. The fans are temperature-controlled, so the rota-
tion speed, and thereby noise, is dependent on the temperature inside the MTRX II. The fans should be hardly audible during normal
operation, assuming MTRX II is correctly installed.
