Four high quality headphone outputs with independent volume control knobs make the Matrix Y perfect for a variety of different monitoring applications Matrix Y also features a unique high sensitivity Talk Back Mic on the front panel. This allows Matrix Y users to communicate with each other without taking their headphones off or talking loudly. Beside the four headphone outputs, there are balanced Stereo TRS Line In jacks. Users can connect the outputs of mixers, recorders, computer I/Os or another Matrix Y. In addition, the Matrix Y features not only Line Ins, but also balanced Stereo TRS Line Out jacks for connecting another Matrix Y, an extra amplifier or active monitor speakers. You can also connect to the inputs of external recording devices through these Line Out jacks. Because of the flexibility of having both Line Ins and Outs, there are lots of possibilities for creating different systems with the Matrix Y.
