CHAPTER
1 Introduction to the Audio
Matrix Switch
Control4 systems are uniquely configured for every
customer and every site. A popular component among
music lovers is the Control4 Audio Matrix Switch.
This chapter introduces the Control4 Audio Matrix Switch
and its features.
Features and Benefits
` Switches up to 16 input sources to up to 16
simultaneous output zones.
` Adjustable gain, treble, bass, and balance for each
zone
` Audio sensing on inputs
` Device chassis is three standard rack units (RU) tall
and rack mountable conforming to EIA 19” rack
standards (5.25” x 17.34” x 14”)
` Communicates with control devices via Ethernet
10/100 port and ZigBee (a wireless standard for
mesh-networking).
` Backlighting feature turns on with any button push or
Select Dial push and stays lit for a preset time (default
is 30 seconds).
Network Requirements
In order for the Audio Matrix Switch to be managed and
controlled from the Control4 user interfaces, it must
communicate with the system through either a wired
(Ethernet) or wireless (ZigBee 802.15.4 mesh) network. If
you want to use an Ethernet connection for the Audio
5
Matrix Switch, ensure that your home network wiring is in
place before starting system setup.
What’s in the Box
The following items are included in your Control4 Audio
Matrix Switch box.

Source Inputs
Each of the 16 signal sensing analog audio inputs (the
RCA style ports) is labeled 1-16 for each individual
source.
Audio Outputs
The system automatically creates generic source names
displayed in the front of the device. To change these
names, you must update your system using 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 system routing for
the Audio Matrix Switch is using Composer Pro software
on a PC (for trained installers only). 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.

CHAPTER
2 Set Up the Audio Matrix
Switch
This device operates as part of the Control4 home
system, which requires physical and logical connections
to function as designed.
Essential setup tasks include:
1.Plan Your Physical Layout
2.Connect Input and Output Devices
3.Connect to the Network and Power
4.Set Up Logical Connections
5.Static IP Modifications
This chapter describes, in general terms, how to set up
physical connections required for the Audio Matrix Switch
and all associated devices. Refer to any device-specific
documentation for additional installation instructions.
To set up the logical connections required, refer to
Control4 Composer Pro User Guide software
documentation.
Plan Your Physical Layout
This section explains physical and logical connections
and can help you plan your physical connections.
Use a worksheet to plan your audio zones. Using the
worksheet provided in Table 1 on page 12, identify the
ports you will use for each planned devices and zones.

Connect Input and Output Devices
1. Connect audio source devices (such as CD changers
or players, tuners, iPods, or tape players) you want
included in the system to the audio in jacks.
2. Connect amplifiers or amplified speakers as needed
to the audio out jacks.
NOTE: If you are not sure which jacks to use, try using
the worksheet provided in Table 1 to plan your routes.
Connect to the Network and Power
1. If you are using an Ethernet connection for the Audio
Matrix Switch, plug the data cable from the home
network connection into the Audio Matrix Switch RJ45 port (labeled Ethernet) and the network port in
your wall or at the network hub or switch.
2. Connect the power cord provided to the back of the
Audio Matrix Switch and to the power outlet. Once
the power cord is connected, the Audio Matrix Switch
should power up.
Set Up Logical Connections
Physical and logical connections are required in order to
control, navigate, and use the Audio Matrix Switch as
designed.
Thus far you have set up the physical connections for the
Control4 Audio Matrix Switch. To complete the logical
setup, trained installers must use a PC connected (and
with Control4 Composer software installed) to the home
network. If you are a trained Control4 installer, refer to the
Control4 Composer User Guide.
14
Network Configuration
To set the network configuration:
1. At the In to Out Assignments screen, press the
Network button.
2. On the Network Configuration screen, choose an
Ethernet or ZigBee network by rotating and pressing
the Select Dial.
IMPORTANT! When making logical connections in
Composer, identify the device as the network type
(Ethernet or Zigbee) that you choose on the device
network configuration. To avoid unexpected
behavior, d o not identify the device as both network
types.
If the switch is set to use a ZigBee network, the EUID,
3.
Gateway, and ZigBee channel number are displayed.
This screen has two menu options:
` Identify: When identifying the switch in
Composer, press this button.
` Back: Returns to the Network Configuration
screen.
4. If the switch is set to use an Ethernet network, the
MAC address, method of obtaining a network IP
address, the device’s IP address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway are displayed.
15
The Audio Matrix Switch, by default, uses DHCP to
obtain a network IP address.
If the local area network does not support DHCP , you
can configure the switch to use a Static IP address
instead:
4a. Press the Select Dial to enter Edit mode.
4b. Press the Down or Up button (or rotate the
Select Dial) to choose Static IP.
16
4c. Press OK (or press the Select Dial).
4d. Press Save (or press the Select Dial).
4e. Edit the IP, Mask, and GWay fields for the
Static IP network: Use the Select Dial to
select a line, then press the dial.
Use the Select Dial to scroll the number up
or down and edit as needed, then press the
Select Dial to move to the next field within
the number.
4f. When finished editing, press Save.

CHAPTER
3 Use Audio Matrix Switch
This chapter introduces the user interface available to
Audio Matrix Switch users and common system tasks you
can perform with the Audio Matrix Switch from the front
display.
NOTE: Following initial setup, you may never need to
manually change settings on the Audio Matrix Switch.
This device is managed by the Control4 system. The use
of this chapter is completely optional.
This device assists in fulfilling a room-specific music
request. To play music, use a system navigation device
available to your current room to choose a specific music
source or a device. That device may or may not need to
make use of this switch.
View Output Assignments
Once you complete the physical and logical setup tasks,
you can view or change setup configuration in the Audio
Matrix Switch front display.
When you power up the Audio Matrix Switch, the following
System Status screen appears momentarily.
The System Status screen is then replaced by the
In to Out Assignments screen.
