Жайгашуу

Физикалык байланыштар

Connect your audio sources to the corresponding inputs on the rear panel. The DAX88 supports RCA, 3.5mm stereo, and optical TOSLINK inputs. For speaker connections, use the provided terminal blocks for the six amplified zones. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) for each speaker. The two line-level preamp zones (Zone 7 and 8) can be used to connect external amplifiers or powered subwoofers.

Network Connection

For mobile app control and Wi-Fi streaming, connect the DAX88 to your local network using an Ethernet cable to the 'NETWORK LAN' port. Alternatively, the unit has integrated Wi-Fi for wireless network connectivity. Ensure your mobile device is on the same network as the DAX88 to use the Matrio app.

Көпүрө режими

The DAX88 allows you to bridge channels for increased power output. Each pair of amplified zones (e.g., Zone 1 and Zone 2) can be switched from stereo to bridged mono mode using the 'MODE' switches on the rear panel. In bridged mode, the output power increases from 75 WPC to 180 WPC at 8 ohms. When bridging, connect the speaker to the designated bridged terminals (typically the positive terminal of one channel and the negative terminal of the adjacent channel).

12V триггер

The 12V Trigger ports allow for automation with other audio equipment. The '12V TRIGGER OUTPUTS' can activate other devices when a specific zone on the DAX88 is enabled. The 'POWER ON INPUT' can receive a 12V trigger signal to power on or mute the DAX88 when an external device is activated.

Операция

Matrio Mobile App Control

The Matrio app is the primary interface for controlling your DAX88 system. Download the 'Matrio Control' app from the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). The app allows for individual zone control and group control across multiple zones.

Keypad Control (Optional)

Optional keypads can be connected to the DAX88 via an Ethernet cable from the keypad hub. These keypads provide localized control over individual zone functions such as power, volume, source selection, and treble/bass adjustments. An IR sensor on the keypad allows for control using the DAX88 IR remote.

IR Remote Control

The included IR remote allows for control of basic functions from across the room, including power, volume, source selection, balance, and treble/bass adjustments, when pointed at a keypad's IR sensor.

Multi-Source, Multi-Zone, Multi-User Functionality

The DAX88's true matrix audio routing allows you to play any of the 8 audio sources in any of the 8 zones at any time. This means different users can listen to different sources in different rooms simultaneously, or a single source can be played across all zones. The system can also be expanded by linking multiple DAX88 units for more inputs and zones.
