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):
Specifications:
C 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:
