The Center of Your Commercial Audio Installation
This 1RU 26x8 channel Yamaha MTX3 is the smaller of the two MTX models, but don’t think that make it any less formidable. There are 16 channels of YDIF digital I/O, eight channels of mic/line input and eight channels of analog output, two RCA stereo line inputs, and an SD/SDHC card slot. Both input and output stages each have useful functions like auto gain control, feedback suppressors, and priority duckers, in addition to standard DSP processing functions like EQ and compression. The Yamaha Matrix Series is easy to set up and configure thanks to its MTX-MRX software, and a dedicated iPhone app allows remote volume and preset control. Finally, the MTX Series is easy to control with DCP Series wall-mounted control panels or AMX/Crestron touch panel devices, and they come with the required connectors. Sweetwater AV installation techs agree that any small to mid-sized business would benefit from making a Yamaha MTX Series matrix — or several of them — the heart of their audio system.
Flexible routing options
Both MTX models feature eight channels of mic/line input and eight channels of analog output, plus 16 channels of YDIF digital I/O and an SD card slot for playback of MP3/WAV files. Two RCA stereo line inputs, a 9-pin RS232 remote port, and included Euroblock plugs sweeten the deal. Oh, and you can daisy-chain up to four MTX devices together! This incredible flexibility is sure to meet the commercial audio needs of any small to mid-sized business such as restaurants, retail stores, banquet halls, and more.
Useful DSP Functions
MTX units both have handy DSP functions for both input and output. On the input side, you’ll find 3-band parametric EQ, compressor/gate, auto gain control, priority duckers, and feedback suppressors. For output processing, you’ll have 4-band parametric EQ, speaker processing, and delay. This functionality allows you to tweak your business’s audio without the need for additional effects processors. There’s even a library of Yamaha-manufactured speakers built-in to the MTX-MRX software, allowing easy selection of settings that optimize the performance of your business’s speakers.
Easy to configure, control, and expand
The included MTX-MRX software makes it effortless to setup your MTX unit. Its operating screens simulate the workflow of designing your system, so you won’t get lost at any stage of navigation. Your MTX is also easy to control by connecting a DCP series wall-mounted control panel, going remote with a dedicated iPhone app, or using the supplied connectors for control via an AMX/Crestron touch panel device. And, if one MTX unit just isn’t enough, you can easily daisy chain up to four MTX units together
