5CHAPTER 1Introduction to the 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.`Adjustable gain, treble, bass, and balance for each zone`Audio sensing on inputs`Device chassis is three standard rack units (RU) tall and rack mountable conforming 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). Network RequirementsIn order for the 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 802.15.4 mesh) network. If you want to use an Ethernet connection for the Audio
6Matrix Switch, ensure that your home network wiring is in place before starting 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 View1. Front Display—For displaying or setting audio switch settings and navigating system menus2. Buttons—For choosing options or menus displayed in the front panel user interface3. Select Dial—For scrolling through and selecting screen elements or options displayed in the LCD123
7Back View 1. Power Plug Port—For standard IEC cord (included). Supports universal AC input (100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz).2. Ethernet—RJ-45 for a 10/100 Mb Ethernet connection3. Audio In (Left-Right pairs) 1-16—RCA jacks for stereo channel input for up to 16 stereo analog sources4. Audio Out (Left-Right pairs) 1-16—RCA jacks for stereo channel line output for up to 16 amplifiersSource InputsEach of the 16 signal sensing analog audio inputs (the RCA style ports) is labeled 1-16 for each individual source. Audio OutputsThe system automatically creates generic source names displayed in the front of the device. To change these names, you must update your system using 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.1234
8Front DisplayThe best method of initially setting up system routing for the Audio Matrix Switch is using Composer Pro software on a PC (for trained installers only). 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.

11CHAPTER 2Set Up the Audio Matrix SwitchThis device operates as part of the Control4 home system, which requires physical and logical connections to function as designed.Essential setup tasks include: 1.Plan Your Physical Layout2.Connect Input and Output Devices3.Connect to the Network and Power4.Set Up Logical Connections5.Static IP ModificationsThis chapter describes, in general terms, how to set up physical connections required for the Audio Matrix Switch and all associated devices. 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 1 on page 12, identify the ports you will use for each planned devices and zones.
12Table 1: Audio Matrix Switch Routing Worksheet
13RCA Pair #Audio In Sources—RCA (Left-Right) pairs for stereo channel input for up to 16 stereo analog sourcesAudio Out Zones—RCA (Left-Right) pairs for stereo channel output for up to 16 output zones1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16.
14Connect Input and Output Devices1. Connect audio source devices (such as CD changers or players, tuners, iPods, 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 1 to plan your routes. Connect to the Network and Power1. If you are using an Ethernet connection for the 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 (and with Control4 Composer software installed) to the home network. If you are a trained Control4 installer, refer to the Control4 Composer User Guide.
15Network ConfigurationTo set the network configuration: 1. At the In to Out Assignments screen, press the Network button.2. On the Network Configuration screen, choose an Ethernet or ZigBee network by rotating and pressing the Select Dial.IMPORTANT! When making logical connections in Composer, identify the device as the network type (Ethernet or Zigbee) that you choose on the device network configuration. To avoid unexpected behavior, do not identify the device as both network types.3. If the switch is set to use a ZigBee network, the EUID, Gateway, and ZigBee channel number are displayed.This screen has two menu options:`Identify: When identifying the switch in Composer, press this button.`Back: Returns to the Network Configuration screen.4. If the switch is set to use an Ethernet network, the MAC address, method of obtaining a network IP address, the device’s IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway are displayed.
16The Audio Matrix Switch, by default, uses DHCP to obtain a network IP address. If the local area network does not support DHCP, you can configure the switch to use a Static IP address instead:4a. Press the Select Dial to enter Edit mode.4b. Press the Down or Up button (or rotate the Select Dial) to choose Static IP.4c. Press OK (or press the Select Dial).4d. Press Save (or press the Select Dial).
174e.
