Connect the right and left signals from your mixer (master left/right, line out) to the balanced input sockets of the MATRIX 1000 using standard XLR cables. MONO SET-UP Mixer / Sound Source SETTINGS Left & Right Gain Controls: After turning on your MATRIX 1000 using the on/off switch located on the rear amplifier plate of the active subwoofer, set the LEFT and RIGHT Gain controls to the center position (or facing straight up). This is the ideal position to operate the MATRIX 1000 if you have connected a mixer to the system. Alternatively, if you have connected a CD Player or other sound source, it is recommend that the Gain controls are turned all the way clockwise to achieve peak volume. During performance, if your MATRIX 1000 shows signs of distortion, check the sound source and, if applicable, reduce the sound levels. If it is not possible to reduce the sound levels at the source, simply turn down the gain levels on the rear amplifier panel of the MATRIX 1000.
