www.control4.com | 1-888-400-4072 | DOC-00287-A 2017-08-28 DH
INTRODUCTION
The Triad 8×8 and 24×24 Audio Matrix Switches enable up to 8 (or 24)
stereo audio sources to simultaneously play to 8 (or 24) audio outputs.
Each output zone can be adjusted with independent gain, bass, treble,
EQ, balance, loudness and mono summing controls. Triad Audio Matrix
Switches are ideal for use with Control4 EA Series Entertainment and
Automation Controllers, delivering dependable, high-resolution audio
distribution throughout the home.

INSTALLING THE MATRIX SWITCH IN A RACK
1 Align the holes on the rack ears with the holes on both sides of the
matrix switch. The matrix switch can be rear or front mounted.
2 Attach the rack ears to the matrix switch using the provided screws.
CONNECTING THE MATRIX SWITCH TO ETHERNET AND
POWER
1 Plug the Ethernet CAT5E/6 cable from a local network connection into
the ETHERNET port.
2 Connect the provided power cable into the back of the Audio Matrix
Switch to the power outlet. When the power cable is connected, the
Audio Matrix Switch should power up.
CONNECTING AUDIO TO THE MATRIX SWITCH
Physical and programming connections are required to control, navigate,
and use the Audio Matrix Switch as designed. Use Composer Pro to add
the driver to the desired room and set up the programming connections.
See the Composer Pro User Guide (ctrl4.co/cpro-ug) for details.
Connect the physical connections to your audio matrix switch from your
other audio equipment using the examples provided below:
CONNECTING AN 8 SOURCE, 8 ZONE SYSTEM
1 Connect audio sources (outputs from a Control4 controller, audio
streaming devices, tuners, etc.) to the ANALOG AUDIO INPUT and
DIGITAL AUDIO INPUT jacks.
2 Connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT jacks to amplifiers or amplified
speakers.
3 Connect 12V trigger cables from the matrix switch to the amplifier (if
applicable) for automatic power control of the amplifier.
ADDING A SUBWOOFER TO A ZONE USING THE 2.1 ZONE
FEATURE
Using the 2.1 Zone feature, you can group two outputs of the matrix and
one output can feed a subwoofer amplifier. Repeat steps 1-3 for the 6
standard speaker zones as described in “Connecting an 8 source, 8 zone
system”.
1 Set up 2.1 grouping in Composer > System Design > driver for the
matrix switch. See the Composer Pro User Guide for more details.
2 Set the assignable 12V trigger output (ASG) to the output for the
subwoofer amplifier in Composer > System Design > driver for the
matrix switch.
3 Connect the matrix switch Analog Audio Output to the Audio Input of
the amplifier for the subwoofer.
4 Connect the ASG 12V output to the 12V trigger input of the amplifer.

ADDING A STREAMING AUDIO ZONE WITH THE TRIAD ONE
Using a Triad One (TS-SAMP1), an extra audio zone can be added to a
Control4 system with a Triad 8x8 Audio Matrix Switch. In this illustration,
the Triad One streams all external audio sources that are connected
into the Control4 controller. The Triad One also can generate its own
digital media stream (My Music and Control4 native streaming services)
separately from the Control4 controller.
1 Connect external audio sources to the analog audio and digital audio
(coax) inputs of the controller.
2 Connect the rest of the 8 analog zones as described in steps 1-3 of
“Connecting an 8 source, 8 zone system.”
3 Connect the Triad One to power and network (can be configured
WiFi if desired). See the Triad One Installation Guide for more details
(triadspkrs.co/triadone-ig).
4 Connect speakers to the SPEAKER OUT connection and connect a
subwoofer to the SUB/ MONO OUT connection (if desired).

ADDING A 10×10 HDMI SWITCH TO A 24 SOURCE, 24 ZONE
SYSTEM
You can add audio from your HDMI sources to your 24-zone distributed
audio system using a Control 10×10 HDMI Matrix Switch (C4-LU1082D).
Repeat steps 1-3 in the 24 source, 24 zone system setup.
4 Connect eight stereo RCA cables from the RCA OUTPUTS of the HDMI
switch to the ANALOG AUDIO INPUTS on the audio matrix switch.
TROUBLESHOOTING
RESETTING THE MATRIX SWITCH
• Network reset—Remove the power cord to power cycle the device.
Hold the ID button while you replace the power cord to power on the
matrix switch. Hold the ID button until you see Status LED show solid
orange.
• Factory restore—Press and hold the FACTORY RESTORE button for
five seconds to restore the device to its previous firmware image and
restore the defaults. The Status LED will blink white rapidly when the
factore restore begins.
Caution! The factory restore process will restore the matrix switch
to a factory state and replace the firmware image with the factory
default firmware.
