Description
Product Overview
Give multiple amplifiers a stronger signal from your head unit with the AudioControl MATRIX PLUS 6-channel line driver. It provides up to 24 dB of gain and up to 9.5 Vrms (13V peak) output, with flexible routing for multi-amp car audio systems.
Balanced differential inputs help reject vehicle noise, while individual output level controls let you calibrate each channel. Use the optional ACR-1 remote level control to adjust preamp signal levels from a dash or control surface.
Key Features & Benefits
- Six-channel processing: Route six input channels to six outputs for a flexible multi-amplifier setup.
- Flexible input routing: The internal linking system lets two inputs feed all six outputs.
- Strong signal output: Up to 9.5 Vrms helps drive multiple amplifiers from one line driver.
- Noise-conscious design: Balanced differential inputs and selectable ground isolation help address noise in complex vehicle installations.
- Level adjustment: Individual output controls support channel-by-channel system calibration.
- Subsonic filtering: The PFM filter suppresses unwanted ultra-low frequencies that can tax amplifiers and subwoofers.

Why Choose This Product?
The MATRIX PLUS addresses a common multi-amp system challenge: sending a useful signal to several amplifiers when the head unit’s preamp output is weak. Its gain, output level, and routing options give you centralized signal management for high-fidelity systems or SPL builds that need flexible input-to-output distribution.
The transformer-isolated PWM power supply supports stable operation, and the optimum voltage indicator LEDs provide visual setup cues. The conformally coated PCB is designed to resist moisture and contaminants in challenging automotive environments.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Before installation, check that your system has the required preamp connections and that the available space accommodates the 4.6" W × 7.1" D × 1.2" H unit. Plan the input routing around the channels you want to distribute to your amplifiers.
The product specifies a 1A fuse recommendation. The ACR-1 remote level control is optional; the Power Connector and Manual are listed in the box.
