B-52

Description

The B-52 MATRIX-1000V2 is a speaker system that includes 2 - 10" 2-way powered satellites, a dedicated powered 15" subwoofer, and 2 speaker stands. 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 2 speaker cables, run two XLR cables to your mixer, and you're ready to go.

The speaker stands adjust from 42" to 71" in height, accept 1-3/8" diameter sockets, and hold 110 lbs. Aluminum construction reduces stand weight for easy transport. The molded plastic leg housing with ergonomic knob is extremely durable.

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 MATRIX-1000V2 satellites are loaded with custom designed 10" speakers and 1" titanium diaphragm compression drivers. 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 speakers are pole-mountable or can be used 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-1000V2 in and out of a venue in record time.

Transporting the system

To transport the 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 system and you're ready to move the MATRIX-1000 V2 with ease.

    I'm a beginner DJ and bought this system because of the great reviews and its price. I thought it sounded ok. That is until I started using this system in a local bar. I've had nothing but good comments about how great the Matrix 1000v2 sounds coming from such a relativitely small system! The guys working in the bar tell me its the best sounding system they've had in their bar. I've also had veteran DJ's come up to me in disbelief over how great it sounds. Then when I tell them how much I paid, they almost don't believe me. I could only imagine how great the Matrix 2000 sounds!
