Loaded LX-300 Processor

Matrix3 is powered by the LX-300 digital audio engine. Using 32-bit floating-point calculations, the LX-300 has enough DSP power for the most demanding applications. Every Matrix3 system is built on a Primary LX-300 processor. The Primary LX-300 houses the DSP for mixing, processing, and matrixing; networking capabilities; and serial communications. Matrix3 is configured with mic- or line-level analog inputs and analog outputs. Digital I/O is optionally available via AES3 or CobraNet. Matrix3 is scalable: when additional I/O is needed, Expansion processors can be linked to the Primary processor, each Expansion processor adding I/O and more DSP capability. Matrix3 can be configured to accept as many as 280 inputs or feed up to 400 outputs. The LX-300 uses a client-server architecture, allowing the system to be controlled by multiple clients at once. That means a secondary control station can monitor and modify system operations. It might be someone walking around a venue with a wireless tablet, a system operator sitting backstage to supplement one at front-of- house, or a redundant controller to protect against the unexpected. With the potential for multiple clients comes the need to manage access for those clients. User-defined access policies prevent unauthorized users from making unwanted changes, so you can rest assured that the projects you create are secure. Matrix3 can communicate fluently with the outside world. Send and receive MIDI messages for control or timing functions, send or receive SMPTE time code to synchronize the Matrix3 with lighting, projection, pyrotechnic, or other systems. Simple relay closures are available, too. Matrix3 can drive (or be driven by) lighting, pyrotechnics, and other devices in the production for a full coordination across all technical systems.

Matrix3 can be configured to accept as many as 280 inputs and feed up to 400 outputs. Matrix3 includes a complete mixing environment. As with any mixing system, inputs can be trimmed, faded, muted, soloed, assigned to buses, panned, and directed to aux sends. The Çbells and whistles‰ that make life easier are here too: fader flip, virtual groups, comprehensive metering, PFL, AFL, and PAFL monitoring. Matrix3 also provides full matrix mixing of buses to physical outputs, which is key for multichannel environments. Management is made easier by the ability to configure submatrixes for different zones. Sophisticated systems have serious processing requirements. With inputs from microphones, playback of recorded material, and even Matrix3 outputs looped back for group processing or intricate distribution schemes, there is a need for powerful equalization and dynamics control. Outputs require this processing for multizone applications, with the additional demand for delay to properly align loudspeakers in time. Matrix3 supplies all of these necessities. Up to eight bands of EQ can be available for each input and output, with each band configurable as parametric, high pass, low pass, or high or low shelving. Matrix3s processing display shows not only the resulting EQ curve in the frequency domain, but also its phase response. Compression, expansion and delay can also be applied to inputs and outputs.?
