Matrix In-Ceiling Speakers

Overview

Matrix in-ceiling speakers provide exceptional acoustical performance using

superior components and crossover design. Matrix speaker enclosures

incorporate a floating bridge, which houses a unique pivoting tweeter assembly

that creates directionality for the user. FIG. 1 shows the three main types of

Matrix speakers (C Series, C-DT Series and EL Series):

C-DT Series

EL Series

Non-SWT Speakers

Each speaker has a Red (positive) terminal and a Black (negative) terminal.

Connect the appropriate wire from the keypad to Red and Black terminals

on the Left and Right speakers, as with any standard speaker installation.

SWT Speakers

Matrix Audio SWT Speakers are different from any other speaker available

on the market. They allow you to control a single zone of audio without a

keypad being installed. Therefore, some different wiring practices must be

considered for proper operation and control.

This is achieved by “daisy-chaining” from the first speaker to the second

speaker. The main run of 16/4 from the controller will go directly to the first

speaker in the zone. At the controller end, the wiring is left-to-right:

L D G R with the screws of the connector facing up.

At the speaker end, using the connector that is shipped with the speaker,

the wiring is: R G D L with the screws facing up, left-to-right. The labelling at

both ends must match or the IR control will not work (i.e.: if you used the

RED wire for the Left Audio labelled “L” at the zone output, you must use

the RED wire for the pin labelled “L” on the speaker connector).

Be sure to screw the connector down to the speaker crossover board

before installing and securing in the ceiling. This will ensure that the

connector will not disconnect after installation.

A single run of 16/2 must be run from the first speaker to the second

speaker.

SWT Speakers - Cutout Dimensions

The following table indicates the diameters of the circular cutout dimensions for

the 6.5” and 8” SWT Series Speakers:
