Controllers
Delta Series
The Matrix Delta controller is a 4 source multi-room audio system. It is so easy to use that all you have to do is push one button and the system and source turns on, the volume ramps up and it immediately begins playing. You are able to control all sources such as changing channels, discs, tracks, and more. You are even able to distribute audio throughout the entire house with the press of a single button.
There are two varieties of the Delta controller – the Delta 4 Amplified Controller and the Delta 6 Amplified Controller. Each controller integrates your control, switch and amplification all in one box. Each is available in black.
Mi Series
The Mi Series Controller is a multi-source, multi-room amplified controller. It is powered by our renowned amplifier technology and is supported by a massive power supply that provides 40 watts per channel.
Controllers are customizable and can be ordered with a minimum of 4 zones to a maximum of 8 zones. If more than 8 zones are required, the system can be expanded by adding Zone Expanders, which allow for a maximum of 64 zones per system.
All Matrix systems are modular in design, allowing for a totally flexible system design, including the addition of single or dual on-board tuners, a Network Interface card offering full IP control, and SRS/WOW® modules.
Audio Zone Expanders for Mi Series
Available in 2 models (4 & 8 Audio Zone Expanders)
For applications with more than 8 zones, simply add the matching Mi Series Audio Zone Expander to your main Mi Series controller. Audio Zone Expanders do not require any programming and allow you to expand your system up to 64 total zones in 4 zone increments. The Mi Series controllers connect to the Audio Zone Expanders via the RJ-11 expansion port which is the vehicle for data and IR communication.
Keypads & Remotes
All keypads work with both Delta and Mi Series. There are two 
remotes – one designed specifically for each series. ( D-RC Remote goes with DeltaS-RC Remote goes with Mi Series.) The keypads are shipped customized to the user’s specifications. However, buttons are field replaceable and can easily be changed during installation.

Speakers
Matrix Audio in-ceiling speaker systems provide exceptional acoustical performance using superior components and crossover design. The architecture of the C-Series enclosure incorporates a floating bridge which houses a unique pivoting tweeter assembly that creates directionality for the user. There are two speaker product categories – the EL and C-Series speakers.
The EL line of speakers offers exceptional acoustical performance at a modest price. The C-Series Speaker Line uses Matrix Audio's proprietary SWT Technology which can eliminate the need for a keypad. When connected to a controller, the optional SWT Stealth Module activates the built in IR receiver and LCD status indicator providing system and zone control by simply using a remote.
