Matrix is a SuperAnalogue 16 channel, 40 line input mixing console with inbuilt signal router and multi-layer digital workstation

control. It’s simply the most elegant way to be creative with your entire arsenal of analogue outboard and cutting-edge digital

equipment. Designed to be at the heart of your everyday creative process, Matrix is built to meticulous SSL hardware standards,

to withstand even the most intensive studio use. Fully equipped to partner your monitors, workstations and outboard gear,

The Matrix SuperAnalogue router manages the sends and returns of up to 16 outboard processor units, together with the

assignment of the console’s channel strip insert points. Using the Insert Matrix in the Matrix Remote software, any combination

of your outboard gear can be rapidly inserted into any of your console channels, essentially giving you the ability to run your

outboard as ‘analogue plug-ins’ within your DAW. Furthermore, the Insert Matrix can be controlled directly from buttons on the

Matrix itself, allowing the insertion and removal of devices as well as rapid A/B-ing of analogue devices on a particular insert point.

With HUI and MCU modes, the 17 motorised faders and channel controls provide complete hands-on control over your DAW

AWS 948 and Duality large format consoles. In Matrix the channel DCAs can be remote controlled via MIDI, enabling DAW

tracks to provide full automation control of analogue levels. Dual stereo mix busses and four stereo returns with full stereo mix

bus routing bring the total available mix inputs to 40. Powerful monitoring is a central feature of Matrix with independent Main

and Mini monitor outputs, Artist Monitor output with independent EQ and source selection, and three external monitor inputs

with source summing.

About This Manual

Whether you are an experienced studio engineer or an artist who is relatively new to the recording process, this manual will

take you through the full breadth of Matrix functions. Chapter 1 guides you through the process of connecting up and integrating

Matrix into your studio. Chapter 2 is a tutorial which provides an overview of the essential operating principles of Matrix,

introducing both its analogue and DAW control capabilities, a proportion of which will be familiar to users with studio experience.

Chapter 3 then examines the analogue mixing capabilities of the console in more detail. Chapter 4 focuses on the Matrix Remote

software which controls a number of aspects of Matrix, including its relationship with outboard equipment. Chapter 5 introduces

the operational use of Matrix for DAW control, working alongside the control surface documentation in your DAW’s manual.

A few simple conventions have been followed in this manual: Labelling on the console control surface or in software is in bold,

retaining the capitalisation of the label itself. Back panel labelling is represented in plain type, also following the capitalisation of

the labels.

What Else You Will Need

In order to make full use of your Matrix, you will require the following, in addition to the Matrix box contents:

• A computer on which to run the Matrix Remote software. This can be the same computer as you use for your DAW

software.

• A Network Switch or Router. If you are running a setup with more than one computer, a network switch or router and

additional network cabling will be needed (refer to the Network Connection Examples from Page 5 onwards).

• A USB KVM switch and/or hub. If you are planning to connect Matrix to more than one computer, you will need a USB

switch. If you are only using one computer, the KVM switch will not be necessary. Depending on the complexity of your

sockets on your computer. Note that the Matrix USB socket is Type B.

• Multicore cabling. To fully connect your Matrix, you will need up to seventeen 8-channel looms terminating in male 25-way

D-Connectors.

• A Stand. There is a wide range of commercially available mixer stands which are suitable for Matrix. SSL are happy to

recommend the Studiospares Z-Frame keyboard/mixer stand, and the Quik Lok ZM-2034 Mixer Stand. Alternatively, you

can build Matrix into your desk surface using the dimensions listed in Appendix B.

• Digital cabling. Depending on your setup, you may need suitable cables to connect up the AES or S/PDIF digital I/O.

• Foot switches. You can also plug up to two momentary foot switches into Matrix.

Chapter 1 - Installation and Setup

This chapter covers everything involved in setting up Matrix. If you have not already done so, please refer to the separate printed

Installation Guide for safety information and instructions on positioning and connecting the Matrix Power supply.
