MTX-Serie

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.

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 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.

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.

When building a simple system with a small number of devices. It is recommended to use Daisy Chain.

Since Dante can transfer both control and audio signals with one cable, no network switches are required for Daisy Chain mode.

In a star network, each device is connected to a central hub. Using a GbE-compatible network switch enables you to configure a wide-band, large-scale network.

If it is necessary for higher resiliency against unexpected network problems, it is recommended to use redundant network.

Dante-enabled model of the MTX5-D signal processor now support the AES67 audio network interconnection standard. This allows connection via AES67 to audio networks such as Ravenna, Q-LAN, or Livewire, increasing the expandability of the system.

Ebenfalls unterstützt wird die Dante-Gerätesperre, die verhindert, dass Dritte die Dante-Einstellungen ändern. Dies kann die Systemsicherheit in Umgebungen wie Konzertsälen erhöhen, in denen ein externer Bediener das System bedienen oder Geräte einbringen soll.

Die PGM1-Paging-Station und der PGX1-Paging-Expander sind speziell für die Verwendung mit MRX7-D oder MTX5-D ausgelegt. Sie arbeiten mit PoE und werden über Dante mit dem Netzwerk verbunden. Jede PGM1 kann mit bis zu zwei PGX1-Einheiten erweitert werden, und bis zu vier PGM1-Einheiten können an ein einzelnes System angeschlossen werden.

A single iPad can be used to control a comprehensive range of music sources: CD players, NAS storage, mobile devices, Internet radio, and even piano. In addition Yamaha Blu-ray Disc Players and AV receivers. Switching videos and music sources according to the events at restaurants/banquet halls, collectively controlling the volume adjustment of the microphone and video switching at the conference room, it is possible to provide a smooth management system by using a single iPad.

DCP controllers provide flexible external control of several functions such as preset recall, levels, and SD card playback. The series comprises of three different models that feature various configurations of switches and volume knobs.

The Wireless DCP app for iPhone or Android devices allows you to remote control the MTX/MRX series. Since the Wireless DCP has the same function as the DCP series, you can control the MTX/MRX series via your smart device at any place in the restaurants, banquet halls and so on.

DCP controllers are connected to MTX/MRX series by using a daisy-chain connection up to eight control panels. All three models are available in either US or EU standardized sizes, built to meet the specifications of most regions around the globe.

DCH8 divides the control line from host devices such as the Yamaha MTX/MRX series into up to 8 lines. It allows for a flexible system structure, with a combination of star connections and daisy chain connections as a repeater between the host device and the control panels.

It is possible to connect up to eight units of DCP controller by using daisy chain connections of up to 200m. And, it is possible to extend the connection distance by reducing the number of DCP series that are installed as below. When using 2 or 3 DCP controllers in a commercial space which has a wide floor, a simple daisy chain connection is effective. When using more than 4 DCP controllers in a wide commercial space over more that one floor, a flexible topology (combining Daisy chain and Star connections) can help to extend the "total" cable length by combining a DCP series with DCH8.

Mit dem MTX-MRX Editor lassen sich Sounds, die für bestimmte Bereiche eines Geschäfts oder einer Einrichtung optimiert sind, ganz einfach von einem einzigen Computer aus verwalten und verteilen.

Darüber hinaus ist es beispielsweise in Version 3.2 möglich, in mehreren Einrichtungen wie Vergnügungsparks und Einkaufszentren mehrere Bereiche separat in mehreren Subnetzen für jede Zone über einen einzigen PC zu verwalten.

The MTX-MRX Editor software facilitates sound system design with a workflow that simulates standard installation procedure. An easy-to-use wizard lets you start by arranging the devices to be used in the desired layout, then processing components can be added wherever needed. MTX series matrix processors, EXi8 input expanders, EXo8 output expanders, XMV series power amplifiers, and DCP digital control panels can be added according to the needs and scale of the application. The MTX-MRX Editor provides comprehensive, intuitive tools for designing sound systems from input to output.

A Feedback Suppressor or FBS, is a function that prevents the unpleasant acoustic feedback that occurs when sound from a speaker is picked up by a mic and reamplified.

MTX features two types of FBS, Fixed and Dynamic. Fixed is ideal for installations where the microphones do not move and where the problem frequencies remain the same. If microphones are constantly moving then Dynamic FBS is more suitable as it can constantly update the settings to eliminate feedback.

AGC (Auto Gain Controller) is a function that automatically compensates the gain according to the input level, keeping a constant output level for an incoming signal whose level is changing. This can be very useful when there are people speaking at different levels or there are background music sources at different levels and there is no technician available to make manual adjustments. The AGC will smooth the output levels making the listener's experience more pleasurable.

1) When no one is talking

When no one is talking, the input level on all microphones is lowered, and the gain levels are set uniformly. At this time, rather than muting each microphone, the gain is distributed between three microphones, so that the total gain remains constant.

2) When one person is talking

When one person speaks, the gain of that microphone instantly rises to 0 dB, and the gain of the other two microphones is lowered. The same thing happens when a different person speaks.

3) When multiple people are speaking

When two people speak simultaneously, the gain level is automatically distributed between the two microphones so that the total gain remains constant, and the gain of the remaining microphone is lowered.

A Priority Ducker is a function used to automatically attenuate a zone's output level by a specified amount when the signal from a separate sound source exceeds its threshold. For example, it could be used to reduce the background music level when important emergency announcements are made so as to maximise intelligability.

An ANC or Ambient Noise Compensator will adjust system gain to compensate for fluctuating background noise levels. A typical example would be at a party when the ambient noise becomes so loud that music or announcements can no longer be heard. The ANC will raise the system volume to compensate.
