MxP2288 is now with upgraded firmware ( Version 2.XX ), featuring more stable interfaces especially the web browser. It provides a more friendly
user interface when accessing the unit for controls and settings via mobile devices such as tabs and smartphones. While the hardware parts
remained unchanged, the firmware upgrades made the overall operation simpler including the process of firmware updates and cascading feature.
MxP2288 shall be the matrix controller of choice in the market.
Be it a standalone installation or a networked ( LAN ) setup, MxP2288 shall outshine others in its class, which we learn and applied all feedback,
making it a truly outstanding equipment worth invested in. It is suitable for both commercial and residential application.
Among prominent features as compared to previous version are :
- 12 x 8 matrix configuration
- Powerful processor
- Zone Expansion in cascade mode
- Flexible audio source
- Fail safe operation
- Network (LAN) ready
- Prioritised audio routing
- Output with individual VBT

control.
The external message playback signal shall be balanced line level, see also section ‘10’ “connecting the units”.
It is dedicated port for connecting EP1200 directly to matrix with the following pin configurations:-
Pin 1 - Data A
Pin 2 - Data B
Pin 3 - NC
Pin 4 - Ground
Pin 5 - +24V Supply
Pin 6 - Audio -ve output
Pin 7 - Ground
Pin 8 - Audio +ve Output
It allows connection of external source of balanced line or mic inputs. Mic audio shall be using XLR connectors, while line level using stereo
phone jack.
Please connect EP1200 to this designated port and PD mic to ‘Remote Paging Mic’ port only. Wrong connection may cause damage to the
equipment.

The following sequence shall be the guidelines to proper installation of the controller.
Install the equipment to the rack. Recommended height shall be at eye level which would enable easier operation. However, this shall be subjected to
overall site condition.

Combo jack
2) INPUT SOURCE
The controller accepts either XLR or phone jack via the combo jack.
Use the correct connector for different input level as:
Mic Level - XLR balanced (max 0.75mV)
Line Level - stereo phone jack balanced (max 1.25Vrms + 4dBU)
For unbalanced audio feed from audio player with RCA jack, connect to the controller using RCA - phone
jack adapter, or directly solder the cable to a phone jack.
To avoid humming, use only hot and cold end of phone jack, this making it an unbalanced connection.

3) OUTPUT AUDIO
Output is available as balanced line level through XLR jack. It can be fed directly to power amplifiers or through intermediate equipment such as
AX3800 auto amplifier changeover panel as show.

UART (RS485) data shall be sent out for relevant activity performed by the unit. It can also be used to control the unit’s function, such as controlling
volume, selecting zones, etc.
As the unit’s controlling features can be accessed directly via browser, we recommend using this method for the purpose.
7) EP1200 EMERGENCY PAGING PANEL

Check all connection before powering up the controller. Use only recommended DC power supply such as PS9400 which has fast switching to back
up supply in case of mains failure.
Other coventional back up DC switching may be slow and would temporary turn off the controller.
13) CASCADING THE UNIT
Cascading of the controller to cater for more output zones has been made much simple with a single ribbon cable.
