N‑Matrix is a fully analog, all‑discrete insert matrix with enormous capabilities and great simplicity of use. You will focus on the creative process itself, while ultimately solving all advanced ’insert’ tasks you may encounter in your daily work as a mastering or mixing engineer. N‑Matrix will not alter your perfectly worked‑out master in any way, so you can always use it with the utmost confidence. This is the way it should be. N‑Matrix Feature Summary꞉ N‑Matrix is designed with the highest sound quality, ease of use and unique features in mind. It complements the line of HUM Audio Devices mastering equipment, together with the famous LAAL Look Ahead Analog Limiter. Like all other devices, N‑Matrix is carefully hand‑built in our lab in Poland.- Mastering Patchbay/Switcher/Insert Processor.- Fully analog, all‑discrete audio signal path.- Very high headroom, wide band, and very low noise (+/‑24V int. powering).- Fully balanced signal flow, from inputs to outputs.- All‑passive, lossless signal switching, based on top‑quality relays with gold‑plated contacts.- Perfectly transparent sound, no matter what settings or operating mode you use.- Two independent stereo inputs and outputs A and B.- Six‑slot stereo main inserts chain.- Possibility to split the main chain into two three‑slot sub‑chains [A] and [B].- Five modes of operation, with linear or parallel processing, splitting and stems summing.- Possibility to sum two stereo input stems flowing through two parallel chains.- Summing is based on discrete op‑amps we designed for our famous LAAL limiter.- Cascading two or more N‑Matrixes opens up even more incredible possibilities for multi‑stem summing and processing.- All‑discrete M/S Matrix with lots of features.- M/S Encoder and Decoder effectively serve as two additional inserts and can be usedat any point in the inserts chain.- Output section with Out A, Out B, and Side signal trimming, muting, and soloing.- Rotary stepped control for outputs and for Side signals trimming.- All inputs/outputs use balanced XLR sockets.- 2U chassis, classic design with top‑quality buttons and solid machined aluminium knobs.- Custom‑made shielded AC cord.
