Featuring clear LED indicators, illuminated buttons and fader-type level controls per output channel, the PX8000 Matrix is simple to set up, providing full choice and control of up to eight separate mic./line input signals over eight separate zones.
The unit also features in-built monitor loudspeaker to review the selected input sources, microphone input for zoned paging, as well as an internal digital message store facility to record and broadcast emergency messages to be activated by dry contact closure such as opening/closing doors, fire/burglar alarm, etc. Where no message is recorded, this facility can be used as an emergency mute.
Integrating into any standard 100v line / 19" rack PA system, the PX8000 is also available with optional RM8000 8-zone Remote Paging Mic and LM8000 Remote Wall Controller, both of which can be linked to the PX8000 via Cat 5 cabling. The LM8000 displays the selected input signal and will allow remote volume control per zone, as well as remote microphone and line level inputs (each with dedicated level control).
