Audio Outputs
The system automatically creates generic source names
that are displayed in the front display. To change these
names, you must update your system using the supported
system designing software (such as Composer Pro on a
PC). For more information, refer to the documentation that
shipped with your Control4 controller or contact your
professional installer or reseller.
Front Display
The best method of initially setting up routing for the Audio
Matrix Switch is using the Composer Pro software on a
PC (for trained installers only). But you can also make
adjustments from the front display.
The front display allows you to set or change audio source
routing and change zone settings for volume, bass, treble,
and mute. The display also shows the current source and
zone activity.
LED Lights
This device has EZ ID, which includes Light Emitting
Diodes (LEDs) on the back to indicate current
associations between Source Inputs and Audio Output.
During setup activities, one “Source” and one “Output”
LED will light to indicate a current association.
