The B-52 MATRIX-600 is the newest member of the popular MATRIX family of active systems. Compact, powerful and portable the MATRIX-600 delivers clean and accurate sound ideal for both live sound and music playback applications. At the heart of the MATRIX-600 is a high quality 600-watt RMS stereo amplifier designed to perfectly match the included satellite speakers, built-in seven channel mixer, studio-quality DSP effects, 48V phantom power and countless patch inputs / outputs. The MATRIX-600 satellite speakers boast a high-fidelity 10” 3-way design which reproduces sound with amazing detail and clarity, traditionally unattainable with a 2-way speaker. The satellite speakers include both pole mounting cups and suspension points ideal for permanent installations. Covers for the speakers, carrying bag for the mixer/amplifier and cables are included. |

24-BIT DIGITAL
EFFECTS

The 24-bit, 16-position digital effects section provided powerful routing to MAIN, MONITOR and RECORD outputs allowing you to skillfully incorporate the DSP effects into your mix. B-52 customized these DSP effects to offer a wide range of "environments" to choose from:
- LEVEL control to mix a processed signal with the main signal
- The PARAMETER control changes the sound character of each effect providing infinite choices
- Switches to activate the DSP and to route them to the MAIN and RECORD output(s)
- Dedicated LEVEL control to adjust the level of effects to the MONITOR output

7-CHANNEL MIXER FEATURES
- Four channels (Ch. 1-4) with balanced, combo ¼” & XLR mic inputs & balanced ¼” jack line level inputs
- 48Vdc phantom power on balanced combo ¼” & XLR inputs for condenser microphones
- Phantom power can be switched on/off separately on two pairs of inputs.
- The phantom power on/off switches are securely recessed behind the front panel to avoid accidental switching them on/off.
- PAN, 3-band EQ, MONITOR LEVEL and EFFECT LEVEL controls on each channel
- Stereo input channel (Ch. 5) with high impedance ¼” stereo input can also be used for mono acoustical instruments with a pick-up or as an extra mic using the combo ¼” & XLR connector
- Stereo ¼” input with a high |Z| input impedance to connect variety of stereo sources
- Combo ¼” & XLR inputs to connect either mono acoustic instrument with a pick-up via the ¼” TRS connector or low impedance dynamic mic via the XLR connector
- PAN/BALANCE, 3-band EQ, MONITOR LEVEL and EFFECT LEVEL controls
- Stereo input channel (Ch. 6) for stereo sources
- Dual stereo inputs with ¼” TRS and 3.5mm mini-jack to connect any 2-channel source
- 3-band EQ, MONITOR LEVEL and EFFECT LEVEL controls
- HOUSE input with stereo RCA connectors and a dedicated LEVEL control.
- This input is located within the Ch. 6 section but is in fact a totally separate 7th input for a stereo HOUSE source such as a CD player
