FOREWORD
Thanks to purchase the product of our company, please read this manual carefully before any operation. Note: This guide contains all the information needed for the product. There might be some differences between the item and its description; please refer to the real product for the features.
AUDIO MATRIX
Audio Matrix is a system which contains multiple signal inputs and outputs; each input can be assigned to any output like matrix in mathematics. Parameters controls are available for all the inputs and outputs, and are easily changeable; all the configurations can be backed up and restored, easy to copy and to extend. Audio Matrix gives the ability to build complex audio setup in one device providing an instinctive operating interface for both professional and beginner.

AUDIO MATRIX
SOFTWARE CONTROL
Attached Configuration for multiple sever host linked : Dante Control software is required for this action, please visit WWW.SEIKAKU.HK to download. After all the physical linkage confirmed, start the software and set tiks like below in the indicated area. That is to assign the all Broadcast outputs of the pervious device to the all Broadcast inputs of the next one, and so foth except the last ; for the last, we should connect its Broadcast outputs back to the Broadcast inputs of the first one. Here is the example for three host.

SYSTEM PREVIEW
Audio Matrix is a system which combines the hardware with software. The core device is Matrix A8 or Matrix D8. The major features are listed below: 1.12 INPUTS and 12 OUTPUTS 2. In case of extension links, the maximum goes up to 192 inputs and outputs. 3.Broadcast different zones simply by paging unit control. 4.A remote control unit can assign the volume in different zones separately. 5.Control signals are transferred individually with dedicated wires separated from the audio stream, avoiding conflicts and improving the flexibility and the reliability. 6. The transmission for audio stream is based on AES/EBU protocol, while the control signal used a RS-485 format.
There are six members in the MATRIX SYSTEM family: MATRIX A8 --- Server host; MATRIX D8 --- Server host (Compared to A8, 8 analog I/O for the A8, 8 digital I/O for D8); RVC1000 --- Remote volume control with a link port; RVA200 --- Remote volume control with additional outputs; RIO200 --- Remote analog inputs and outputs; RPM200 --- Remote paging station.
By using a combination of the above six devices, most of the broadcasting or routing requirements can be fulfilled. This system fits perfectly for schools, middle and small companies, supermarkets, bars and restaurants, health clubs, small libraries ... The friendly and quick implementation of primary and advance parameters makes easy the design of professional as well as simple applications.
Here are some common examples:

OPERATION
Broadcast Turn "Scroll" encoder to choose the zones intended to be paged, choose the ones by pushing "Scroll" encoder shortly and repeat until all the zones needed hooked. If all zones needed, just push "Volume" encoder once to select all. After paging zones selected, click the "Talk" button to speak, click again to stop. Normally, there is a chime sound before your speech, you can change or cancel it by replacing or removing the inner sound file. (You should connect the USB port to your computer to accomplish this work.) Please make certain all the zone to be used are selected before speaking, if not, the system would remind you "Select Zones First !" .
Rename zones Holding the "volume" to enter the modifying interface, please note only alphabet, number, common used symbol supposed.
Reset device Holding "Volume" and "Scroll" encoder together more than 3 seconds to enter factory resetting, "Load default setting ..." would be showed on screen at the same time. The device would restart automatically after process finished.
SOFTWARE CONTROL
Please use high rated network cable to connect the Ethernet port of PC and the LAN port of serve host device. Then run MatrixSystemEditor, make sure the IP is linked rightly by the remarks given by dialogs. At the main interface, you can drag the device in the left column to the right area, that is the operation to add a device. Please make sure the device you added is physically linked, or there would be no effects even if all settings are saved. Double click for specific operation, here we add a RPM200.
If the device is connected properly, the gray rectangle in the left middle would turn to green.

BASIC OPERATION
RPM200--Paging Station RPM200 can manage the zones you want to be broadcasted, the upper quantity is determinated by the amount of the linked server host. And you can choose the prelude as you wished (MP3 and wav are supported, less than 12M.) Zones can be selected for the ones needed or for all, it ensures the information coverage and delivering selectivity at the same time.
a. LCD screen It displays the selected zones, the volume and ID number.
b. Signal status indicators The green LED indicates the presence of signal when the microphone is ON. The red LED indicates the limit of clipping.
c. Communication status indicators When the communication with the MATRIX-A8 is correct, the green LED blinks. In case of problem, the BUSY red LED lights up.
d. Volume control and all zone selector It controls the volume of the microphone for each selected zones. By pushing on the button, it selects all zones.
e. Zone selector It selects one or several zones by turning the button left or right and pushing on it to validate.
f. Push-to-talk switch When the button is pushed, the chimes sounds and the red ring on the microphone lights up indicating that one can talk.
