The Triad 16-Source, 16-Zone Audio Matrix Switch is a high-performance distribution solution designed for advanced multi-room audio systems. Built for custom installation environments, it allows up to 16 audio sources to be routed independently to 16 separate zones, delivering flexible, whole-home audio control with exceptional sound quality.
The matrix switch is engineered to distribute high-resolution audio throughout the home, supporting a wide range of input connections including analogue RCA, digital coaxial and optical sources. This ensures compatibility with everything from streaming devices and media servers to TVs and traditional audio components. A key strength of the system is its advanced internal DSP (digital signal processing), which includes features such as 6-band parametric EQ, adjustable crossover settings and zone grouping for subwoofer integration. These tools allow installers to fine-tune audio performance for each room, ensuring consistent sound quality across different spaces.
The matrix also addresses common AV challenges with built-in input and output delay controls, helping to eliminate lip-sync issues when distributing audio from video sources. Designed for professional installations, the unit features a compact 2U rack-mount chassis, making it suitable for centralised equipment racks in larger homes. Integration is streamlined with support for control4 systems and remote management platforms, enabling seamless operation within smart home environments. The Triad 16×16 Audio Matrix Switch offers a powerful combination of scalability, audio performance and system flexibility, making it an ideal backbone for high-end multi-room audio installations.
