Setup Hardware
SKB Case
It is best to start with the black SKB case as it contains all of the cables you will be needing.
- Simply twist the metal wing nuts to open the front cover and the twist the plastic nuts to open the back.
- The back cover will fit into the front cover to keep everything organized.
Speaker Stands
The stands are tel-lock so if operated correctly you won't have to worry about speakers crashing down.
- Take the stand out of the bag and release the clamp.
- Ensure that all three legs are free and able to expand.
- With one hand on the center pipe and one hand on one of the three top joints push down to expand the stand. Once the base has expanded 75% lock the clamp to hold it in place.
- At the top of the stand there is an expansion pipe. Push in the pins on the sides and pull the expansion pipe straight up until it locks into place.
Speakers
There are fitted holes on the bottom of each speaker.
- Simply set the speaker on top of the extended expansion pipe.
- Find the Speakon cables in the SKB box. They should be black with blue ends. Plug one end into the speaker.
- The Speakon connector should go straight in and then twist to lock in place. To remove the connection pull back the blue locking jacket and turn in the opposite direction.
- To raise the speaker ensure the tel-lock wheel is in the raise position. With your foot on the base of the stand to hold it down lift the speaker and the center pipe up slowly until the stand is fully extended. You will feel the center pipe reach its max and will go no further.
Sub-woofer and Amplifier
The Matrix 1000 is on casters so it should move fairly easy when pushed.
- Remove the cover and gently lay the unit down so that it rests on the rubber feet. The amplifier is on the back of the unit.
- Attach the other end of the Speakon cables you attached to the speakers earlier to the associated left and right of the amplifier
Sonic Maximizer
Not all systems have the sonic maximizer. You can check by looking in the SKB case and if you see a red box by BBE you have a sonic maximizer and should continue otherwise skip down to the Mixer.
- Find the Short 1/4 to 1/4 cables in the SKB box and connect the 1/4 inch side to the input ports on the rear of the unit. The other side of the cable will be connected to the Mixer.
- Find the Medium length XLR to 1/4 cables and connect the 1/4 inch side to the Output ports on the rear of the unit. Connect the XLR side of the cable to the associated XLR inputs on the Amplifier.
