ON buttons & Solo On
TheONbuttonsactivateeachofthe5inputs.Threestereo
channel pairs and 2 mono. When SOLO ON is inactive you
can listen to all five inputs simultaneously. When SOLO ON
is activated only one input can be active at a time.
When using Solo mode the Dissolve timing parameters,
found on the Setup page, sets the input/output fade time
ontheFadergroups.

Bit Transparency indicators
Indicates when level settings allow for 100% bit
transparency. This is possible at 6 dB intervals. 0 dB, -6 dB
etc.WhenbothLEDsarelityouhavebittransparency.
48 bit precision mixing
Precision mixing in the digital domain is a hot topic among
audiophiles. Matrix 88 was designed to handle and
mix high resolution audio without any loss of resolution
orlowleveldetail.IncombinationwithSystem6000’s
synchronousdesignandimmensejitter-rejection,thisis
how good digital summing gets.
Signal handling and mix busses are 48 bit throughout in
Matrix88,andtheMainbusseshaveupsampledBrickWall
2limiterstotakecareofsummingovers,shouldanyoccur.
Note how input and output faders also operate in the 48 bit
domain, thereby enabling loss-free cut and even boost.
Matrix 88 is bit transparent from all inputs to all outputs
with or without delay enabled. Bit pattern transparency is
indicated by green dots next to the faders on the Mix page.
Note how Pan and Balance controls are bit transparent and
unity gain at center position. Only one channel is affected
when the control is moved away from center position. This
approachcouldbecalled“constanttransparency”rather
than,i.e.“constantpower”.
Because of bit-pattern transparency, you may pass and
gainadjustevenditheredmastertrackswithoutintroducing
ditheragain.Ifthelimiterkicksin,ditherwillmomentarily
beupset,butonlyatapointintimewhereitmakesno
differenceanyway,namelyjustafterapeakhasoccurred.
In addition to perfect digital summing, Matrix 88 is also
the ultimate A/B/C stereo switch. Inputs may be aligned
precisely in level and time, and switching between them
may have well defined cross fades. One important
applicationforprecisionswitchingistheabilitytojudgea
trackorprogramusingdifferentprocessing,whilekeeping
loudness and other variables constant.
