1. IMPORTANT REMARK
Thank you for your confidence and for choosing our MIMO88 matrix. It is VERY IMPORTANT to carefully
read this manual, to fully understand its contents before any connection in order to maximize your use and get the
best performance from this equipment.
In order to guarantee the optimum operation of this unit, we strongly recommend that its maintenance be
carried out by our Authorised Technical Services.
1.1. Safety Precautions
This apparatus must be earthed through its mains cable.
Do not expose the unit to rain or water splashes, and do not place liquid containers or
incandescent objects like candles on top of the unit.
Should any connection / disconnection task be done, always disconnect the unit from the mains supply.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit.
2. INTRODUCTION
The MIMO88 is a fully programmable digital audio matrix, with the following features:
•
8 balanced MIC/LINE inputs (independent phantom power per input channel).
•
8 balanced LINE outputs.
•
2 MONITOR outputs that can be used as auxiliaries.
•
Expandable to 16 inputs/16 outputs by linking a second MIMO88 unit (getting a real 16 inputs and
16 outputs matrix). Connect the two units using a CAT5 crossover cable (100 meters maximum
distance).
•
8 GPI control ports (
General Purpose Input
).
•
8 GPO control ports (
General Purpose Output
).
•
Programming and remote management via Ethernet using EclerNet Manager (or point to point,
with a direct CAT5 cable, or from an Ethernet network).
•
Remote control via Ethernet clients of EclerNet Manager: simultaneous clients with custom control
panel.
•
Remote control from third party external devices. (Crestron, AMX, Vity, Medialon, etc. Registered
trademarks of their manufacturers). TP-NET protocol.
•
Remote control bus for WPTOUCH digital panels and MPAGE16 messaging consoles (
paging
).
•
Configuration memory (
presets
) management.
•
Scheduled events based on calendar.
•
Extensive DSP available:
o
Routing matrix/mixer, from any input to any output with adjustable level for crossover
points (independent mixes of different inputs for each output).
o
Mono or stereo channel processing.
o
Level control, mute, vu-meters and phase adjustment for inputs and outputs.
o
Internal signal generator (sine wave, pink noise, white noise, polarity test).
o
Parametric EQ on inputs and outputs.
o
Delay on inputs and outputs.
o
Gate/compressor on input channels.
o
Compressor/limiter on outputs.
o
Input channel priority assignment (
ducking
).
o
Virtual and physical messaging consoles (
paging
).
o
Automatic mixer.
The MIMO88 programming is done with EclerNet Manager*. Please refer to the EclerNet Manager
software manual for more information.
