Designed primarily for multi-zone commercial installations, MTX Series matrix processors are equipped with flexible processing functions that are essential to a wide variety of applications such as retail stores, restaurant/bars or banquet rooms. Responsible for the primary processing functions at the heart of your system's design, MTX processors allow you to configure, program, and manage your entire sound solution via the intuitive interface of the accompanying MTX Editor software application. The series is comprised of two models with varying DSP capacities and expansion capabilities, allowing MTX processors to meet the demands of a truly impressive range of commercial environments.

• Can expand YDIF* equipped inputs and outputs with Exi8/Exo8 expanders.
• 16 Channel I/O on-board Dante network port for larger installations.
• MY card slot offers further expandability and compatibility with other audio formats.
• SD Card Slot for playback of MP3/WAV files stored on an SD Memory Card.
• Functions for worry-free operation; Feedback Suppressor, Auto Gain Control, Priority Ducker and Dugan Automixer (8-channels, mono)
• Two useful digital processors “Reverb” and “Echo” for entertainment applications.
• Remotely control the volume and presets of multiple zones with DCP series wall mount digital controllers.
• Wireless DCP for iPhone and iPod touch is free available on the App Store.
• Equipped with Network port and GPI ports that offer compatibility with touch panel controllers such as AMX/Crestron.
• Easy setup and parameter control with MTX Editor.

• YDIF: the newly developed digital transmission format; a unique propriety Yamaha technology that delivers 16ch audio and word clock transmission via standard CAT5 Ether cable.

Yamaha provides a wide range of remote control options - From a customer perspective, the ability to access simple control of their audio system is crucial, no matter how sophisticated that system is. For this reason, Yamaha provides a wide range of remote control options. These include simple DCP wall panels with wireless equivalents that can operate from an iOS or Android phone or tablet. Then, there is more sophisticated MCP1 programmable wall mount controller, PGM1 advanced paging station microphone and the fully customizable ProVisionare Touch and ProVisionaire Control Apps for iOS tablets and Windows devices respectively.

SD Memory Card Slot for playback - The MTX Series feature an input/output configuration that is ideal for a wide range of applications: 8 mono inputs (mic/line), 2 stereo inputs (line) and 16 digital inputs via YDIF. The output side consists of 8 line-level mono outputs and 16 digital outputs via YDIF. MTX processors also feature an SD Card Slot for playback of MP3/WAV files stored on an SD Memory Card. The Event Scheduler function allows you to play back these files as music, announcements or chimes-or even trigger external devices with a GPI output-at scheduled times, as well as recall presets stored within the MTX.

Simple Presentation using the Dugan Auto Mixer - Using the four Dugan channels of the MTX3 and FBS makes it possible to have a simple presentation system that does not require an operator. When the Dugan automixer is used, the input gain on microphones being used is automatically increased, while the gain on mics not used is decreased in order to reduce ambient noise leakage. This enhances the clarity of the sound. No specialized technical knowledge or skill is required-the mic gains are adjusted automatically.

Easily increase system inputs and outputs - The EXi8/Exo8 are input/output expanders for the MTX/MRX Series. EXi8 converts the analog mic/line signal to digital and transmits to the MTX via Yamaha's proprietry YDIF connection. The preamps for EXi8 can be remotely controlled from an MTX/MRX Editor. EXo8 also connects to the system via YDIF and features 8ch of DA converters that convert the digital output to high quality analog signal.

MTX Digital Network System - Using two types of networking in MTX systems can significantly reduce installation cost and time. The combination of YDIF for shorter system connections and DANTE for larger installations can considerably improve design flexibility.

Audio Network for MTX System - MTX processors feature the newly developed YDIF digital transmission format; a unique proprietary Yamaha technology that delivers 16ch audio and word clock transmission via standard CAT5 Ethernet cable. YDIF can be used for cascading multiple MTX Series or for feeding audio signal to XMV Series power amplifiers with very simple cabling up to 30 metres.
Distribution Mode - Max. 16ch of audio can be flowed from upper stream device to lower stream device
Cascade Mode - Can be used as 8ch cascade buses specifically for MTX. Communication can be between multiple MTX.

Dante for MTX (MTX5-D, XMV-D only) - The MTX5-D is equipped with dual Dante ports that allow 16 channels of inputs and outputs @44.1kHZ/48kHz to be run on a redundant network. Both simple and larger, sophisticated Dante network systems can be created using MTX5-D and the Dante enabled XMV-D amplifiers.
Audinate’s Dante Network Audio Protocol has been adopted, not only in Processors and Power Amplifiers, but also in many other types of digital audio equipment such as Yamaha Digital Mixing Consoles. In Ver 3.2 and later, supports the HA control of the I/O rack "Rio series"and "Tio 1608-D". This makes it the perfect backbone for larger networked audio systems particularly as connections are not limited to a 30m maximum as with YDIF, but can carry audio up to 100m over CAT5e cable.
A Dante digital network handles all the audio and control data making system alterations and expansion easy. New devices can be added to the network via a single CAT5e cable and quickly configured using the MTX-MRX Editor. Dante networking provides superior system flexibility as well as plenty of capacity for future expansion.
