A 7.1.4 monitoring setup with multiple sources, several sets of speakers and a control surface generates a matrix that a patchbay cannot sensibly handle. The MTRX puts a large integrated router at the centre of the chassis so that matrix lives in one place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDigital Audio Denmark designed it, which matters because DAD's converters were already the reference in Scandinavian post before Avid partnered with them. The base unit ships with 16 AES I\/O, coaxial MADI in and out, two mini DigiLink ports and Pro|Mon 2 monitor control driven over Eucon from an Avid surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCard slots take analog input, analog output and microphone preamp options, so the same chassis covers a room that needs 32 analog outputs for immersive monitoring and a room that needs mic pres on the floor. That modularity is why it turns up in dub theatres, scoring stages and mastering rooms rather than being replaced every few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePro Tools MTRX Base Unit with MADI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDesigned by\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital Audio Denmark\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAES I\/O\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 channels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMADI\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoaxial I\/O pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDigiLink\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 mini DigiLink ports\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMonitor control\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePro|Mon 2, Eucon controlled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRouter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated, full matrix\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eExpansion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModular cards for analog in, analog out and mic pre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23 x 23 x 8.25 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvid limited warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is the MTRX Actually For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt combines three things a professional room otherwise buys separately: a Pro Tools HD interface, a large integrated audio router, and a monitor controller. In immersive post and music rooms those three functions overlap constantly, and keeping them in one chassis removes a patchbay's worth of complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Comes in the Base Unit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e16 channels of AES I\/O, a coaxial MADI input and output pair, two mini DigiLink ports, and Pro|Mon 2 Eucon monitor functionality.

The Pro|Mon 2 monitor section is controlled over Eucon, so a full monitor control workflow does assume an Avid surface.

The company's tools are the default in film post, broadcast and commercial music, to the point that Pro Tools session compatibility is a hiring requirement in most professional rooms. The MTRX and HD I\/O hardware lines exist to give those sessions converters and routing that hold up under the scrutiny of a scoring stage or a dub theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Avid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44798467866675,"sku":"9900-71247-03","price":5599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1768\/9095\/files\/00235758z.jpg?v=1788112749","url":"https:\/\/www.victorymusical.com\/products\/avid-pro-tools-mtrx-base-unit-with-madi","provider":"Victory Musical Instruments","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
