Installation Notes
If there are any problems 
with the gain structure, 
and feel there is too much 
hiss coming from the 
speakers within the zone/s 
adjustments of the GAIN, 
HF and LF controls may be 
required.
For each zone where they 
may be an issue, check 
that the HF and LF adjustments on the rear 
panel are at unity. There are separate controls 
for Paging, Gain as well as HF and LF.
As a point of reference, adjust both the HF 
and LF so that the symbol ‘EDS’ is at the 9.00 
position as shown here.
From this point, it is a simple matter of 
adjusting both the HF and LF to gain the best 
balance of signal to noise.
The level controls on the Q Matrix 88 operate 
in 2db steps. It is advisable to make volume 
adjustments slowly in order to avoid large 
jumps in audio signal.

between the remote control panel and the
