MATRIX88 is indispensable whenever you need an audio system that not only allows zone, group and overall paging, but also lets you remotely control the music program on each individual zone. MATRIX88 features 8 music source inputs and 8 audio zone outputs, 2 inputs to connect 2 BM8X8 paging consoles, one input for each audio zone and its corresponding remote control (R88, R88L or LOC02), one microphone input with switchable priority, one EMC IN input to connect an automatic message generator and, finally, some emergency sirens driven by closing contacts that can be interconnected with a security system. In its stand-alone configuration, the unit allows paging on up to 8 zones and each announcement can be preceded by a switchable 2-tone or 4-tone chime. Up to four MATRIX88 can be daisy-chained to accommodate up to 32 paging zones, and up to three paging console expansion units – EXBM8X8 – can be added. A UTP CAT5 cable connects MATRIX88 with the remote controls and the microphone console.
