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.

• 7-band MASTER EQ section with slide potentiometers
• LED meters display left and right channel output power levels
• Conveniently located MASTER LEVEL control with a large knob
• Level control for MONITOR output

• Output stage with discrete, high current output devices - not integrated IC amps
• Output power of 2 x 300w RMS with high headroom
• Very efficient cooling, utilizing a large heatsink and two direct-flow fans with variable speed control for quiet operation
• Power supply with low-noise toroidal transformer and a dual voltage (115/230Vac) selector switch
• Comprehensive amplifier and speaker protection circuitry to guard against short circuits, DC offsets, over-heating, turn-on thumps, subsonic and supersonic frequencies.
• Built-in high quality stereo clip limiter
• Equalization customized to enhance and optimize speaker system performance.

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

• Four channels (Ch. 1-4) with balanced, combo 1/4" & XLR mic inputs & balanced 1/4" jack line level inputs
• 48Vdc phantom power on balanced combo 1/4" & 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 1/4" stereo input can also be used for mono acoustical instruments with a pick-up or as an extra mic using the combo 1/4" & XLR connector
• Stereo 1/4" input with a high |Z| input impedance to connect variety of stereo sources
• Combo 1/4" & XLR inputs to connect either mono acoustic instrument with a pick-up via the 1/4" 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 1/4" 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)

• Two full-range speaker outputs - 300 watts RMS each
• Combo Speakon & 1/4" connectors allows the flexibility of using different speaker cables
• The PATCH section is designed to connect an optional external amplifier, insert a multi-band EQ or to use inputs of the MATRIX-600 power amp section
• Stereo RCA RECORD outputs and mono quasi-balanced 1/4" MONITOR output
• 1/4" TRS connection for footswitch allows the muting of either the MAIN outputs or the DSP effects
• XLR subwoofer output and SUB on/off switch to connect a powered subwoofer (When the SUBWOOFER switch is in the ON position, the system automatically reduces the low frequency signals to the satellite speakers)
• 1/4" output for stereo HEADPHONES with a LEVEL control and routing to either the MAIN or MONITOR outputs

• 3-way rear-ported speakers substantially outperform traditional 2-way designs in virtually every application
• 10" high excursion woofer for extended and tight bass
• 6.5” midrange with oversized magnet for clarity and wide coverage area
• 1” exit phenolic tweeter on an exponential horn matches the acoustic response of 6.5" midrange driver
