24-BIT DIGITAL EFFECTS
DigitalEffects

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
Matrix 600 Mixer

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

MATRIX-600 REAR PANEL
Matrix200RearPanel

  • Two full-range speaker outputs - 300 watts RMS each
