All models
Audio inputs — MMX switchers accept up to four (MMX 42)
or six (MMX 62) stereo audio inputs. AV and SVA models
accept balanced or unbalanced stereo on 3.5 mm, 5-pole
captive screw terminals. RCA models accept unbalanced
stereo on RCA terminals.
Audio outputs — MMX switchers output two stereo audio
outputs. AV and SVA models output balanced or
unbalanced stereo on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw
terminals. RCA models output unbalanced stereo on
RCA terminals.
Audio input gain and attenuation — Users can set the level of
audio gain or attenuation (-18 dB to +24 dB) for each input
via the RS-232 link. Individual input audio levels can be
adjusted so there are no noticeable volume differences
between sources.
Front panel control — The operator can select the inputs and
outputs, as well as audio follow or breakaway, using the
front panel buttons.
RS-232 control — The operator can control the MMX 42/62
from a remote computer or other host using a link to
the RS-232 port. RS-232 control uses the Extron Simple
Instruction Set (SIS
) or the Windows
®
-based control
software.
Simple Instruction Set — The Simple Instruction Set lets a host
computer control the MMX with simple commands.
Windows control software — Windows-based Extron control
software provides a graphic way to set up and control
the MMX with an on-screen control panel. It allows
the operator to remotely select inputs, make audio
adjustments, and store settings for future use.
Mounting options — The MMX 42 and MMX 62 are 1U high
and a half-rack width wide. They can be installed on
an optional 1U 3-inch rack shelf, 6-inch rack shelf, or a
standard Universal rack shelf, or under a desk or podium
using an optional under-desk mounting kit.
Auto-switching power supply — An external power supply
with an IEC connector, which can be used internationally
with any power input from 110 VAC to 240 VAC at
50-60 Hz, and adapts automatically to the input type.
