We say...
ADDAC's eagerly awaited matrix mixer is a bit of a monster - 6x6, full stereo, with the option to expand to 12x6, 6x12, 12x12 - and even beyond - using expanders. Note that this product includes the ADDAC814A (jacks) + ADDAC814B (master controls). The ADDAC814A (jacks) and ADDAC814C (additional controls) can be bought separately as expansions. See the manual for more info!
Manufacturer's description
We’re pleased to announce our take on matrix mixers, a 6x6 stereo matrix easily expandable to larger configurations.
Matrix mixers may need some time to get used to but they are very much self explanatory: each knob controls the volume of a matrix point routing the respective input to the desired output.
The flexibility of a matrix mixer is far superior to that of a standard mixer. The possibility to route any input to any single or multiple outputs allows for very complex chains, combining parallel and series processing while easily reconfigurable without any extra patching.
All Inputs Left channels are normalled to the Right Inputs. Blank areas on the left and bottom edges of the panel allow for the user to write all the inputs and outputs sources that each channel is connected to.
Different colored knobs for faster visual recalling: Black for A,C,E Outputs Dark Red for B,D,F Outputs. Cream knobs for potential feedback diagonal: 1A, 2B, 3C, 4D, 5E, 6F. DC coupled circuitry, can be used to mix both audio or cv signals.
Jumpers on the back of both modules allow the user to set each channel independently to Line or Synth Level, making it easier to integrate with external sources, sound processors or guitar pedals.
INTERNAL CONNECTIONS
The control and input modules are connected via a large 34 wire ribbon cable, only the control module needs to be connected to the Busboard.
Extra IDC sockets are used for connecting larger configurations like 12x12 or 18x18.
Other configurations are also possible: 6x12, 12x6, 12x12, etc...
Up to 12x12 all ribbon cables are provided, for larger matrixes custom ones will be necessary, contact us directly if planning to go BIG.
POTENTIOMETERS
Although we're using Thonk's Tall Trimmer Topper for Knobs all potentiometers used have metal shaft and are not plastic trimmer potentiometers.
EXPANDING THE MATRIX
Expanding to larger matrixes is possible using the Expansion modules - see the manual for full details. Depending on the desired configuration the user will require one or more ADDAC814A & ADDAC814C expansions. (ADDAC814 is sold as a pair: ADDAC814A + ADDAC814B. The ADDAC814A & ADDAC814C can be bought indvidually as expansions.)
- Width: 25HP + 8HP (33HP total)
- Depth: 45mm
- Current: +12V 140mA / -12V 140mA
How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK it's normally around £4 for order values under £150, and free above that. Shipping to mainland EU is typically between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of Parcelforce, DPD, Royal Mail and UPS for the UK, and for international orders it's either Royal Mail, UPS, DHL or FedEx depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 15:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes FedEx or UPS may come a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Shipping times
Since April 2020 the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer.
There is absolutely nothing we can do about this unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Saturday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 15:30 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday delivery (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). The success rate with DPD is about 95% so it's worth a punt most of the time. Please note that if you select Saturday shipping on an order placed earlier in the week, we'll wait until Friday to ship it.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
