2. INTRODUCTION

The MIMO54 is a 5 input sources/4 zone outputs audio matrix especially designed for multizone
sound system applications with independent source selection and volume adjustment. It also manages
priority signals and messages for the diffusion of generic and/or evacuation warnings. Generic paging
can be done from a MPAGE4 console (optional) with real-time selection of destination zones, or from a
desktop or other microphone, with destination zones selection from the front panel ZONE switch.
Main characteristics:
•
4 stereo program inputs (two of them accepting microphone/line levels, the last two accepting
line levels only).
•
4 monophonic zone outputs, with 2-band tone controls for each output (adjustable with a
screwdriver on front panel).
•
Switchable phantom power supply for microphone inputs.
•
Fifth signal input (microphone/line) with priority (dual operating mode: PRIORITY /
EVACUATION).
•
Independent source selection and output volume adjustment (per zone).
•
Connectivity with remote control panels for zone source selection and volume adjustment.
