September 19, 2006

Matrix Audio Designs, a manufacturer of high-fidelity audio distribution systems for homes and businesses, today announced the debut of its latest innovation, the Carbon XA Expandable Amplifier, at the CEDIA Expo 2006 (booth #267). The new Carbon XA works with Matrix Audio’s affordable Delta and flagship Mi-Series controllers to deliver the additional power required to support larger or multiple pairs of speakers in a single zone. Designed to work with Matrix Audio’s Delta controller, which enables users to distribute audio from as many as four sources to up to six zones or rooms, and flagship Mi-Series controller, which supports as many as eight audio sources and up to 64 zones, the Carbon XA can be configured to add up to four additional pairs of speakers to a single zone for deployment in large areas such as backyards that require speakers near the pool, patio, hot tub, and barbeque. “The adoption of audio distribution systems in the home environment is gaining momentum as digital music becomes the dominant format for storing and listening to home audio,” explained Jeff Wait, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Matrix Audio Designs. “With the increased adoption of digital entertainment technologies such as satellite radio, podcasts and MP3 files, there’s a desire to enjoy and share this content throughout the home. The new Carbon XA adds to our already feature-packed audio distribution systems by enabling users to add larger or multiple speaker pairs to a single zone to provide high-quality audio throughout a large room, or across a large area such as a backyard.” The Carbon XA Expandable Amplifier is powered by Matrix Audio Designs’ renowned high-current amplifier design to deliver 60 watts per channel and is four ohm stable. Each Carbon XA amplifier can be configured to add one to four additional pairs of speakers to a single zone and the modular design allows users to stack up to three units enabling the controller to drive a total of 12 pairs of speakers in the same zone. The Carbon XA incorporates Matrix Audio’s proprietary Speaker Wire Technology to provide plug-and-play installation with the Matrix family of controllers. Available now through authorized resellers throughout the United States and Canada, and now internationally in over 70 countries, the Carbon XA Expandable Amplifier is backed by a full five year warranty.
