The AudioControl Matrix Plus : How to connect it and do you need it?

[@isiahgreen8405]

It works good. I have it running into all 3 amplifiers. Turned all my gains down on my amplifiers. Used the gain coming from the matrix. The Audio Control gain knob is better than the ones that come with the amplifier.

@isiahgreen8405 yes, I don’t even have my amp bass remote connected at all only the Matrix. The Matrix brings your system to life.

I bought mine based on your experience thanks sir !

Good video, I see you doing your thing with the audio💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

@heavychevymoegritty thanks fam

[@victorgalarza9296]

Hello.. thanks for taken your time to explain. Can you make a video how to connect the matrix with epicenter audiocontrol? Thanks again

[@djronthemechanic3695]

@victorgalarza9296 ok I will do that

[@djronthemechanic3695]

@victorgalarza9296 I’m dropping that video today

[@victorgalarza9296]

@djronthemechanic3695 thanks . I really appreciate that

Thanks for this video Ron .

I just got a matrix in the mail yesterday So I should set my line output on the matrix first? And then gain match my amplifiers?

[@djronthemechanic3695]

Yes set up the output on the matrix first, then gain match your amplifiers. You got this, you will notice the sound difference.

@ thank you for responding! That’s what I thought I should do, thank you for confirming, because it made sense to me. I’m 47, been doing car audio, and home audio since I was 15 years old. I’m not like my good buddy who damages equipment…I’ve never blown a speaker, unless it was on purpose for fun I have too much invested to destroy it How much gain did you notice with the matrix? Because I know between the source unit, through the cable, there will be voltage drop. I’m planning an Audio Control DM-810 DSP next. Also I liked your setup I had a lovely Fosgate amp I bought in 1996 But unfortunately I let it go I also had a Skar RP-1500, but it didn’t do too well with a sealed enclosure, now I’m ported on a stroker with a SounDigital 3k

I do have a ? Since u a pioneer guy I pulled a 211 model because of alternator whine I’ve seen u can wrap the rca to fix this u have any experience with doing that?

[@djronthemechanic3695]

@jeezy5270 I have the Pioneer AVIC -X950BH , I haven’t experienced any alternator whine with my unit. I would check to make sure no rca cables are near the power wire. Get a good pair of rca cables that’s great against noise. Check your grounds on your amplifiers.

@@djronthemechanic3695 thank you 👊🏾

[@bbanks1019]

@jeezy5270 You can use the jumper to isolate the rca ground, and it will solve the problem. On pioneers, it is usually caused by the radio seeing a difference in ground on the rca and the ground from the antenna lead and radio harness.

@@bbanks1019 great thank you , works great so I didn’t wanna trash it, thanks again
