Key Digital® KD-MAX8x8 is an 8x8 matrix of analog and digital audio. Inputs and outputs support
balanced or unbalanced analog audio on a 6-pin phoenix connector while digital PCM audio
up to 5.1 channels is supported on RCA connectors. Analog and digital outputs may listen to
independent selections of the connected audio sources and each output features a digital signal
processor for volume, muting, 3-band EQ, balance, and delay. Systems greater than 8x8 may be
achieved using multiple units.

Balanced/Unbalanced Analog Audio Inputs and Outputs
› Each output and input features one analog audio connector on 6-pin phoenix connector for
balanced or unbalanced audio
› Pin assignment for Analog Audio connections:
» Left + is Pin 1; Left Ground is Pin 2; Left - is Pin 3
» Right + is Pin 4; Right Ground is Pin 5; Right - is Pin 6
› Unbalanced audio is the default type for each input, and should be connected using the positive
(+) and ground pins.
› Each input and accepts/drives audio signals up to 2VRMS with a sampling rate of 48KHz› Each output features an assortment of DSP controls including Volume, Muting, 3-band EQ, and
Lip-sync delay.
› There are no down/up conversion capabilities. For example, a 2ch analog audio input cannot be
converted to 5.1 surround.
› Microphone inputs are not directly supported. To integrate microphones, please use external
powered mixer.
› Each input may be individually set so that analog is the associated type.
» If the associated input type is set to analog, the output selecting the source will output the
analog feed on both the analog and PCM output connectors.
» The default association type for each input is “both”:
» Analog In to Analog Out
» PCM In to PCM Out
PCM Digital Audio Inputs and Outputs
› Each output and input channel features one digital audio on an RCA connector › Compatible with SPDIF format IEC 60958 supporting 2CH PCM, Dolby 5.1ch, DTS 6.1ch › Compatible with sampling rates up to 192KHz› Each input may be individually set so that analog is the associated type.
» If the associated input type is set to analog, the output selecting the source will output the
analog feed on both the analog and PCM output connectors.
» The default association type for each input is “both”:
» Analog In to Analog Out
» PCM In to PCM Out
› There are no DSP features on the digital audio inputs or outputs. However, muting settings do
apply.
› There are no down/up conversion capabilities:

» Pin 6 = Ground (optional)
› TCP/IP Control Port
» Default static IP address is 192.168.1.239
» Connect an Ethernet cable from the KD-MAX8x8 to a network router or connect a straight-
through cable directly from a PC
› Firmware Mode Switch
» Should remain in Operation setting unless instructed by Key Digital technical support
» If changing position of switch, do so only with unit not powered
» Not every firmware update requires the switch to be set to the F/W Load position
» If set to F/W Load, all front LEDs will be illuminated, indicating that
unit is in bootloader mode and awaiting a firmware load.
› Micro USB (front panel)
» Typically used for unit configuration, control, and firmware updates
» It is most commonly used with KD-Wizard

Buttons and LEDs
› 8 output buttons on the front panel
» Pressing an output button will select the input
» A blue LED indicates selected input for each output
› Output MUTE is indicated by the outermost (1, 2, 7, 8) LEDs illuminated,
while the inner LEDs (3, 4, 5, 6) are NOT illuminated
› Output OFF is indicated when the innermost (3, 4, 5, 6) LEDs are illuminated,
while the outermost (1, 2, 7, 8) are NOT illuminated
› Factory default reset is achieved by simultaneously holding the input select buttons 1&8
for 10 seconds
» The matrix reboots after reset. The LEDs will ramp until reboot has completed

Quick Setup Guide
1. Begin with the KD-MAX8x8 and all Input/Output devices turned off and power cables removed
2. Connect analog audio sources to the desired 6-pin phoenix terminals and/or digital audio
sources to the desired PCM inputs
3. Connect the analog audio output amplifiers/receivers via the analog 6-pin phoenix terminals
and digital destinations via the PCM outputs
4. Connect power to the KD-MAX8x8, followed by all other input and output devices and turn
them on
5. If balanced audio input type is required for any of the analog inputs, set the desired input via
the IR remote control using command sequence R2, XX, Audio Mode, 3. Note that XX is the
desired input number (01 – 08).
6. Operate KD-MAX8x8 switcher via the front panel buttons, IR remote, serial IR or RS-232
control
7. See TCP/IP and RS-232 Commands or Settings and Adjustments via Remote sections for
more adjustments options
Settings and Adjustments via Remote
Many initial installation steps may be configured using the factory remote control. Other advanced
settings may be configured using USB and software downloaded from www.keydigital.com

RS-232 and TCP/IP Commands
KD-MAX8x8 allows control over serial interface for bi-directional
communication.
Use pins 3, 4, 5 for RS-232 communication.
In addition to RS-232, the serial interface may also be accessed
using a TCP/IP connection.
» Default IP address is 192.168.1.239, with default port 23
Connection Protocol:
» Baud Rate = 57,600 bits per second
» Data Bits = 8
» Stop Bits = 1
» Parity = None
» Flow Control = None
» Carriage Return: Required
Notes
» Commands are not case-sensitive
» Spaces are shown for clarity; commands should NOT have any spaces
» After a new command is received, a prompt should be sent back
Expansion systems may be achieved through a combination of hardware and software setup.
There is no digital expansion or ribbon cable. Expansion systems are only possible with analog
audio.
Sources are shared across multiple units via jumping bare copper CAT5e/6 cables from one unit to
the next.
