Product Information
Full details
This Loops matrix splitter is designed for audio professionals and enthusiasts seeking flexible audio distribution and zone control. Its primary benefit is enabling independent sound management across up to 12 zones from a single or dual input source, eliminating the need for multiple amplifiers or complex wiring for distributed audio. A potential caveat is its reliance on 6.35mm (1/4") jacks, which may require adapters for some modern audio equipment. Key features include a versatile mono/stereo matrix splitting capability, individual output volume controls, robust build quality, and rack-mountable design.

FAQs
Can this unit be used for stereo signals?
Yes, it can function as a 1 Input, 6 Output 6.35mm Stereo Matrix Splitter when the Stereo mode is selected.
What type of audio sources can I connect?
You can connect any line-level audio source with a 6.35mm (1/4") output, such as mixers, DJ equipment, or other audio interfaces.
How do I set the correct voltage?
Locate the voltage selector switch on the unit and move it to match your local mains voltage (110V AC or 230V AC) before powering on the device.
Is this unit suitable for passive speakers?
This is a signal splitter/matrix, not an amplifier. It distributes an audio signal. You will need separate amplifiers or powered speakers for each zone.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the product documentation or retailer for specific warranty information, as it typically varies by region and seller.
Can I use this to send different audio sources to different zones?
No, this unit splits one or two input sources across multiple outputs. It does not allow for routing of entirely separate sources to different zones simultaneously without additional external equipment.
What are the dimensions of the unit?
The unit measures 483mm (width) x 170mm (depth) x 44mm (height), designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting (1U).
Troubleshooting
No sound from any output
Verify power connection and ensure the unit is switched on. Check that the audio source is active and producing a signal. Confirm the Mono/Stereo switch is set correctly. Ensure all output volume controls are not turned down.
Sound in only some zones
Check the specific output cable connections for the affected zones. Ensure the volume control for the specific output is turned up. Test the output with a different cable and destination.
Distorted or clipped audio
Check the LED input clip indicators. If they are lit, reduce the output level of your audio source. Also, ensure individual output volume controls are not set too high.
Hum or buzz in the audio
Ensure all audio cables are properly grounded. Try connecting the unit and source to the same power circuit. If using multiple power sources, consider a ground loop isolator.
Unit does not power on
Confirm the IEC power cable is securely connected to both the unit and the wall outlet. Verify that the voltage selector switch is set correctly for your region's power supply. Try a different power outlet.
