3CHAPTER 1Introduction to Audio Matrix SwitchControl4 systems are uniquely configured for every customer and every site. A popular component among music lovers is the Control4 Audio Matrix Switch. This chapter introduces the Control4 Audio Matrix Switch and its features.Features and Benefits`Switches up to 16 input sources to up to 16 simultaneous output zones.`Front display for adjustments to zone settings and routing sources. (Adjustments can also be made by trained installers using Composer Pro software.)`Adjustable gain, treble, bass, and balance for each zone. `Audio sensing on inputs.`EZ ID, which includes Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on the back to indicate current associations between Source Inputs and Audio Output. During setup activities, one “Source” and one “Output” LED will light to indicate a current association.`Device chassis is three standard rack units (RU) tall and rack mountable configuring to EIA 19” rack standards (5.25” x 17.34” x 14”).`Communicates with control devices via Ethernet 10/100 port and ZigBee (a wireless standard for mesh-networking).`Backlighting feature turns on with any button push or Select Dial push and stays lit for a preset time (default is 30 seconds).

4Home Network RequirementsIn order for Audio Matrix Switch to be managed and controlled from the Control4 user interfaces, it must communicate with the system through either a wired (Ethernet) or wireless (ZigBee) network. If you want to use an Ethernet connection for Audio Matrix Switch, ensure that your home network wiring is in place before starting your system setup.What’s in the BoxThe following items are included in your Control4 Audio Matrix Switch box.`Control4 Audio Matrix Switch`IEC power cord`This manualAbout the Audio Matrix SwitchFront View with Door Opened1. Front Display—For displaying or setting audio switch settings and navigating system menus.2. Buttons—For choosing options or menus displayed in the front panel user interface. 1234

53. Select Dial—For scrolling through and selecting screen elements or options displayed in the LCD.4. Reset Button—For troubleshooting option behind the door to refresh the system.Back View 1. Ethernet—RJ-45 for a 10/100 Mb Ethernet connection.2. Audio In (Left-Right pairs) 1-16—RCA jacks and supporting LED for stereo channel input for up to 16 stereo analog sources.3. Audio Out (Left-Right pairs) 1-16—RCA jacks and supporting LED for stereo channel line output for up to 16 amplifiers.4. Power Plug Port—For standard IEC cord (included). Supports universal AC input (90-240 ACV 50/60 Hz).Source InputsEach of the 16 signal sensing analog audio inputs (the RCA style ports) is labeled 1-16 for each individual source. 123 4

6Audio OutputsThe system automatically creates generic source names that are displayed in the front display. To change these names, you must update your system using the supported system designing software (such as Composer Pro on a PC). For more information, refer to the documentation that shipped with your Control4 controller or contact your professional installer or reseller.Front DisplayThe best method of initially setting up routing for the Audio Matrix Switch is using the Composer Pro software on a PC (for trained installers only). But you can also make adjustments from the front display.The front display allows you to set or change audio source routing and change zone settings for volume, bass, treble, and mute. The display also shows the current source and zone activity.LED LightsThis device has EZ ID, which includes Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on the back to indicate current associations between Source Inputs and Audio Output. During setup activities, one “Source” and one “Output” LED will light to indicate a current association.

9CHAPTER 2Set Up Audio Matrix SwitchThis device operates as part of the Control4 home system, which requires physical and logical connections to function as designed.The essential setup tasks are: 1.Plan Your Physical Layout2.Connect Input and Output Devices3.Connect to the Network and Power4.Set Up Logical ConnectionsThis chapter describes, in general terms, how to set up the physical connections required for the Audio Matrix Switch and all of the devices associated with it. You should also refer to any device-specific documentation for additional installation instructions.To set up the logical connections required, refer to Control4 Composer Pro User Guide software documentation.Plan Your Physical LayoutThis section explains physical and logical connections and can help you plan your physical connections.Use a worksheet to plan your audio zones: Using the worksheet provided in Table 2-1 on page 10, identify the ports you will use for each planned devices and zones.

10Table 2-1. Audio Matrix Switch Routing WorksheetRCA Pair #Audio In Sources—RCA (Left-Right) pairs for stereo channel input for up to 16 stereo analog sources.Audio Out Zones—RCA (Left-Right) pairs for stereo channel output for up to 16 output zones.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.

11Connect Input and Output Devices1. Connect the audio source devices (such as CD changers or players, DVD changers or players, or tape players) you want included in the system to the Audio In jacks. 2. Connect amplifiers or amplified speakers as needed to the Audio Out jacks. NOTE: If you are not sure which jacks to use, try using the worksheet provided in Table 2-1 to plan your routes. Connect to the Network and Power1. If you are using an Ethernet connection for Audio Matrix Switch, plug the data cable from the home network connection into the Audio Matrix Switch RJ-45 port (labeled “Ethernet”) and the network port in your wall or at the network hub or switch.2. Connect the power cord provided to the back of the Audio Matrix Switch and to the power outlet. Once the power cord is connected, the Audio Matrix Switch should power up.Set Up Logical ConnectionsPhysical and logical connections are required in order to control, navigate, and use the Audio Matrix Switch as designed. Thus far you have set up the physical connections for the Control4 Audio Matrix Switch. To complete the logical setup, trained installers must use a PC connected to the home network with Control4 Composer software installed. If you are a trained Control4 installer, refer to the Control4 Composer Pro User Guide.

13CHAPTER 3Use Audio Matrix SwitchThis chapter introduces the user interface available to Audio Matrix Switch users and the common system tasks you can perform with Audio Matrix Switch from the front display.NOTE: Following the initial setup, you may never need to overtly communicate with the Audio Matrix Switch again. This device simply assists in fulfilling a room-specific music request. To play music, use a system navigation device available to your current room to choose a specific music source or a device. That device may or may not need to make use of this switch.View Output AssignmentsOnce you complete the physical and logical setup tasks, you can view or change your setup in the Audio Matrix Switch front display. When you first power up the Audio Matrix Switch, the following System Status screen appears momentarily.----------------------------Control4 AVM-16S1-B VER 00.01.02----------------------------The System Status screen is then replaced by the Output to Input screen.

14Manage OutputsChange Output AssignmentsTo change up your “Output to Input” assignments:1. Ensure your Audio Matrix Switch is powered up and that the Output to Input screen is displaying in the front display.2. On the Output to Input screen, view the current output-to-input associations.Output to Input1- 15- 9- 13-2- 6-3 10- 14-3-4 7- 11- 15-4- 8- 12- 16-OUT/IN NETWORK DISPLAYOutput to Input1- 15- 9- 13-2- 6-3 10- 14-3- 4 7- 11- 15-4- 8- 12- 16-

15The screen consists of 16 output zones and any assigned input source. When an input source is highlighted (as Input 1 in this example), the highlighting indicates that a signal is present.The buttons on the front panel provide access to these menu options:`Out/In: Displays an Output-specific screen. The most recent screen accessed is displayed by default, but you can choose to view a different output’s setting by changing the Output number. `Network: Displays a Network screen. This is essentially view-only information.`Display: Displays the Display Configuration Screen.Configure an OutputTo view or change output source settings:1.
