      B-52 Matrix-1000 V2 700W Active 3-Piece Speaker System (606060)
Availability:  


A complete, easy-transport, easy set-up system.

The B-52 Matrix-1000 V2 Speaker System comes with 2 10" 2-way powered satellites and a dedicated powered 15" subwoofer. The Matrix-1000 V2 has a built-in 3-channel 700W power amplifier, 3 independent volume controls, electronic crossover with equalization, and VCA compressor.

The circuitry is designed and fine-tuned to integrate all components for the best possible sound. There is no need to tweak or finesse settings on a crossover or compressor to make your system sound great. Simply roll the system into place on its heavy duty casters, plug in the AC, connect the two speaker cables, run two XLR cables to your mixer and you're ready to go

Built-in 3-channel amplifier
The 15" subwoofer enclosure is divided into two separate compartments. The front chamber serves as the cabinet for the 15" subwoofer. The rear chamber houses all of the system's electronic circuitry, which includes the amplification for all three components, power supply and preamps. The 15" subwoofer has a power handling capability of 400 watts and a nominal impedance of 8 ohms.

10" satellite speakers

The B-52 Matrix-1000 V2 satellites are loaded with a custom designed 10" speaker and 1" titanium diaphragm compression driver. The "horn" is a 90 x 60 elliptical waveguide that can be rotated 90° to optimize the dispersion pattern to best suit your particular application. These versatile B-52 speakers are pole-mountable and can sit as stage monitors. They also include 3/8"—16 tpi flying hardware for small venue permanent installations. The rounded front of the satellite speaker is a perfect fit for the convex face of the subwoofer, allowing you to stack, roll and transport the entire Matrix-1000 V2 in and out of a venue in record time.

Transporting the system

To transport the B-52 Matrix-1000 V2, simply set the subwoofer on its casters and place the satellite speakers on to the subwoofer's front panel, facing down. Fasten the satellites with the included locking strap using the handles on either side of the subwoofer cabinet. Place the included cover over the entire PA speaker system and you're ready to move the Matrix-1000 V2 with ease.

  • WOW! I love these speakers!

    As reviewed by Shayne on 10/12/2010

    My band needed some new speakers for our practices, and I was a little skeptical at first. But I was so wrong! I was skeptical because we have 4 vocal mics, 12 mics for the drums, jam blocks and congas, also 2 keyboards, 1 bass and 1 lead guitar. Thats 20 different sounds at once. I had a live recording of us on my phone, they plugged my phone into the speakers and WOW! I could not beleive the clarity, and the sub was perfect! This was with no adjustment, just plug and play!

  • Good...but....

    As reviewed by David Pickett on 2/12/2011

    I'm a mobile DJ that needed to step up my game from a Fender Passport (which I still use in very small functions). I had no bass and couldn't fill up the sound in a gymnasium - which is where the B52 came in nicely. The volume was much better than what I had been using (150W Vs 300W)...plus the built-in 15" sub (with its own 400W amp) made the hiphop music really bang. Overall, the sound quality was very good...especially for the price. The speaker components were high quality and the SPL and spread were good. The warranty is also solid. However... 1. The system is not as durable as my passport or other ABS (plastic) housings. The speaker housings (while they do boast a lifetime warranty on the cabs) are basically particleboard which will ding and chip if you don't take extremely good care of them. Also, over time I heard a rattling sound inside one speaker. After consulting with B52 tech support (which is good once you can finally get a hold of them), I opened the housing and found a coil of cable hanging by its wires. It had popped free from the plastic tiedowns when it was assembled so I patched it up - no problem. Get some speaker bags or learn to care for these speakers with kid gloves on. 2. The sub/amp weighs a TON. Its 115 pounds. Think about that when trying to lug this alone at 3 am into your trunk. The casters help alot when transporting the speakers atop the sub... I don't regret the Matrix purchase. The folks at GC were great and the system served me so well that I resold it (after a year and a half of use) to my buddy who's getting started in the biz (I upped to (2) QSC K12's). I just wanted you all to know what the good and bad are. Overall, its a good buy.

  • My Band Mates have PA Envy!!!

    As reviewed by James on 9/4/2010

    Recently used my Matrix 1000 for our first acoustic gig. We normally have stacks and stacks of equipment, 10,000 watts of stuff w/ cross-overs etc. The boys heard my system and were blown away (and it was only on 3. If not for the fact that we were in a restaurant, I would have showed it them at 11! Great system and easy to use and setup. I wish I had 4 or 5 more so I could daisy-chain them and have one for a monitor system. That would be tight!
