L-TRONIK MX-880 - 8x8 matrix controller for zone-based audio management (linkable up to 8x32)

L-TRONIK MX-880 - 8x8 matrix controller for zone-based audio management (linkable up to 8x32)

The L-TRONIK MX-880 is an 8-input, 8-output analog matrix switcher designed for flexible audio management across 8 zones . Each zone allows input viewing and selection , and the system supports connection of up to 4 remote paging desks via Cat 5 cable with individual sensitivity adjustment . For larger projects, the MX-880 can be linked with other units up to 8x32 (by linking 5 matrix switches ), maintaining centralized control and intuitive operation from the front panel.

On the operational level, each input has gain adjustment and MIC, LINE and MASTER controls, while each balanced output integrates bass and treble equalization . The system manages the priority of announcements from the MX-880M desk, incorporates three emergency tones with tone and volume adjustment (alarm and emergency) - activated by 8 remote controls - and offers an EMC input for the MX-880G module (pre-recorded evacuation messages to all zones). The front monitor allows local listening to what is happening in each zone without additional equipment. It operates at 230 V AC and 24 V DC and is presented in a 19" / 3U rack .

Main features

• 8×8 matrix for 8 zones, linkable up to 8×32 by chaining 5 units.

• Gain per input and MIC / LINE / MASTER control.
• Balanced outputs with zone bass and treble EQ .
• 5 priority levels and management of the MX-880M 's warning level.
• 3 emergency tones (alarm/emergency) with tone and volume adjustment, activated by 8 remote controls .
• EMC input for MX-880G (pre-recorded messages to all zones).
• Front monitor for zone listening.
• Power supply : 230 V AC and 24 V DC. Format : 19” rack / 3U.

Product benefits

• True scalability : Start with 8×8 and grow to 8×32 without changing platforms.
• Fine control by zone : source selection, gain and EQ by balanced outputs.
• Integrated PA system : Cat 5 desks, priorities and tones/EMC for emergencies.
• Local monitoring : front monitor that speeds up verification and maintenance.

Use cases

• Restaurants and retail : background music and announcements by area (dining room, bar, terrace).
• Hotels and offices : font distribution and selective paging by floor/area.
• Educational and sports centers : bells, announcements, and programming with evacuation messages.

Integration with the MX series

• MX-880M desk (8 zones) with MX-880E expander to add 8-zone blocks to the desk itself.
• MX-881 / MX-882 / MX-883 wall/counter remote panels for local zone control, source selection and auxiliary inputs.
• MX-880G module for pre-recorded evacuation messages via EMC input.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I expand beyond 8 outputs? Yes, linking up to 5 MX-880 matrices achieves 8x32 .
• How many desks does it support? Up to 4 remote desks via Cat 5 with adjustable sensitivity.
• Does it include emergency functions? Yes: 3-tone with tuning and EMC input for pre-recorded messages (MX-880G) .
