A Music level control on the Matrix front panel or the remote wall control c. A Master level control on the Matrix front panel. Please Note: The input signal is set at 300mV-1.1v/10K Ohm 7. Remote Control Panel Input Each of the eight zones can have a remote control panel connected.
Q-Matrix 88 User Manual 12. HF The Zone HF Treble of the Zone Output can be controlled by adjusting the HF Treble Level Control. This Level Control will provide adjustment of the 100Hz Audio Frequency by ±10dB. Every Zone has a HF Treble Level Control which enables the HF Treble Level of each zone to be set independently of other zones. 13. Enable/Disable Switch 10 If a Zone Remote Wall Control Panel is to be used with the System, The RJ45 Remote Control Panel Input needs to be enabled.
Q-Matrix 88 User Manual The Line Inputs have an impedance of 47k ohms. 1. Line 1-8 source inputs will be selectable using the Source Select control on the front of the Matrix. 2) 2. The selected source input number will be indicated on the Matrix zone display. 3. Any extension Matrix unit connected to the system will use sources line 1-8 from the master Matrix. 4. Only one set of input sources for lines 1 -8 can will be connected per system.
Q-Matrix 88 User Manual Remote Wall Panels 86mm 86mm 146mm 146mm 12 • Up to 8 x Remote wall panels can be connected to a single Q Matrix 88 unit (with only one per zone). • There are 2 types of remote wall control panel available: QTVCS - which includes source select/Volume Control and the QTIWML - which has both MIC and Line inputs.
Q-Matrix 88 User Manual RS 485 Communication Protocol Baud Rate: 57600bps/S Parity Check: Odd parity check Data: 16 bytes Accumulation = 2nd data byte + 3rd data byte + 4th data byte Q Matrix 88 Inquiry Data The Q Matrix 88 sends inquiry data to 2 remote paging consoles, 8 remote wall panels and extension Matrix. The new data will feedback to the Matrix when any new data has been checked. Any extension Q Matrix 88 will only enquire to its own 8 remote wall panels only.
Q-Matrix 88 User Manual Feedback Data From The Wall Plate Inquiry Data To Extension Matrix The feedback data from the wall plate to the Matrix delivered in the following format: The Matrix inquiry data to the extension Matrix format as: AA 21 line input volume AM AA 30 00 00 AM AA: data head 21: feedback data from wall plate to Matrix line input: source input 01 : line 1 02 : line 2 ..........
