1 CFR SERIES USER MANUAL CONTENTS: Page Thank You 1 1. Features and Specifications Thank You Congratulations on the purchase of your new Matrix loudspeaker. Matrix products are the result of a collaboration between Designers, Engineers and Musicians with many decades of experience in the design and practical in field application of exceptionally robust, reliable and ergonomic audio equipment. This manual will help you to get the most from your loudspeaker. For maximum benefit, it is recommended that all instructions and warnings are carefully read. Where unsure about anything, please consult a qualified technician. For warranty service, please retain your receipt and all packaging that comes with the loudspeaker, as it has been specifically designed to transport the cabinet safely. 2–3 2.

MATRIX AMPLIFICATION REV.1.01 CFR SERIES USER MANUAL 2 1. Features and Specifications: The CFR 12 is a 12” coaxial, full range loudspeaker cabinet which has been designed for optimal performance and flexibility within its intended application as a musicians monitor loudspeaker. It is a passive, un-amplified cabinet, leaving the user free to choose an amplifier. The design was conceived with considerable consultation with customers and we welcome any comments and suggestions you may have in our continual quest to bring you the products you want to use. Loudspeaker features: • Optimised for Guitar Sound Reproduction With Cabinet Simulation Pre-amps. Also suitable for use for monitoring keyboards, vocals and other sources at the users discretion. . • Coaxial 12” Driver – Providing a Large and Unchanging Sweet Spot of Sound. This cabinet contains a coaxial loudspeaker – a single driver incorporating a tweeter driver and paper cone driver designed specifically to work together into a single, constant directivity, spherical point source. This offers the unique advantage of of a sound-field which does not significantly change in tonal characteristic wherever the user chooses to listen to the cabinet off axis by up to 40 degrees (a total sound-field span of 80 degrees) both horizontally & vertically. The sound dispersion diagram below illustrates this behaviour. Cabinet produces a wide sweet spot in both planes for faithful reproduction over a wide area. • Multiple Orientation Cabinet Design - May be used as a monitor or upright cabinet. The design of the cabinet allows for use as a monitor or as a conventional cabinet standing upright for applications such as projection into the audience from band backline. The cabinet orientation diagram below illustrates possible placements. MATRIX AMPLIFICATION REV.1.01 3 • CFR SERIES USER MANUAL Cabinet Connectors support the use of 1/4” Jack and Speakon Connections. To maintain compatibility with system configurations many musicians are familiar with, the ability to connect to the loudspeaker using 1/4” Jacks is also provided via combination dual format Speakon connectors. We would like to recommend however that Speakon connectors are used where possible for connecting loudspeaker cabinets, as this decreases the chance of damaging equipment or electrocution through accidental exposure to the live end of an amplifier output lead, shorting, or connection to line level inputs. Loudspeaker Terminal Connections: For reference only, consult a qualified engineer if cable wiring modifications are required. Loudspeaker Specifications: CFR 12 Number of Audio Channels: 1 Power - Watts/RMS Continuous : 260 W Power – Watts/Peak Headroom : 520 W Cabinet Impedance : 8Ω Frequency Bandwidth Nominal : 40-20,000 Hz Sound Dispersion Pattern Nominal : 80H x 80V Degrees Cabinet Weight : 13 Kg Cabinet Dimensions Inches : 18.2H x 14.4W x 10.8D Cabinet Dimensions Millimetres : 463H x 336W x 274D MATRIX AMPLIFICATION THIS PRODUCT IS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS WHICH MAY DAMAGE HEARING. THE USER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPOSURE LEVELS AND USE OF HEARING PROTECTION. REV.1.01 CFR SERIES USER MANUAL 4 2. Mono Loudspeaker Usage: . For Mono (single channel applications) connect speaker cabinet to amplifier as shown. Where chaining additional cabinets to the same amplifier channel is required, the Output Link from the first cabinet can be used as shown above in grey. When connecting one or more speakers to an amplifier ensure that the amplifier can handle the load presented and that the configuration is properly matched for safe and optimal performance. A Table of recommended combinations is provided on page 6. If unsure about any aspect of using the the loudspeaker system, then consult with a qualified audio engineer. The speaker cabinet is a Mono only device, under NO circumstances attach multiple amplifier channels to the same cabinets connector block, otherwise poor performance and damage to equipment being used is likely to occur. For stereo applications please follow the instructions on the next page, using two or more speaker cabinets. Also note that series & series parallel connections cannot be used with this cabinet due to the presence of an internal crossover splitting the signal for the coaxial driver; poor performance will result. MATRIX AMPLIFICATION REV.1.01 5 CFR SERIES USER MANUAL 3. Stereo Loudspeaker Usage: For Stereo loudspeaker usage, two or more cabinets are required, connect as shown above. When multiple cabinets are required on the same amplifier channel, connect additional loudspeakers as shown on the previous page. Also note that series & series parallel connections cannot be used with this cabinet due to the presence of an internal crossover splitting the signal for the coaxial driver; poor performance will result. Under NO circumstances connect multiple amplifier channels to the same cabinet ! Irreversible damage to both speaker, amplifier and associated equipment is likely to occur and is not covered by warranty. MATRIX AMPLIFICATION REV.1.01 CFR SERIES USER MANUAL 6 4. Recommended Amplification: We recommend the use of matrix GT and GM series amplifiers to power the CFR 12 optimally; however other amplifiers maybe used at users discretion. As a rule of thumb concerning musical instrument use of the cabinet in combination with an amplifier, a power capacity of up to twice the continuous RMS rating is permissible for solid state amps; provided the source doesn't maintain a continuous level tone (e.g. some electronic organs), this allows the cabinet to work at full output without amplifiers clipping readily. Amplifiers of less than rated minimum power are not recommended as hard clipping typically present when solid state amps are over driven is likely to damage the loudspeaker. Valve amplifiers however maybe used at lower power levels as specified below, as they clip much more softly when over driven, resulting in less stress on the driver than an abused solid state amplifier. With valves this is done no less to extract the tonal characteristics of valves driven near their limit. We recommend however that a solid state amplifier is used within its limits and one of the many excellent cabinet modelling effects units is used to recreate this tonal effect at any desired volume level, rather than ramping it up to 'eleven'. Matrix Amplifiers: Recommended Amplifiers: 1 cabinet per amplifier channel: 2 cabinets per amplifier channel: Max total cabs per an Amp: GT800FX YES YES 4 GT1000FX YES YES 4 GM50 - (mono) YES YES 2 XT800 YES YES 4 XT1000 YES YES 4 XT2004 YES YES 8 XT2004EQ YES YES 8 Also Supported: We recommend the guitar series amplifiers (GT/GM) are used for optimal performance. Parallel Cabinet Impedance Table: Parallel cabs: 1 2 3 4 Impedance: 8 4 2.66 2 Not recommended Not recommended Notes: Paralleling more than two speakers is done at user discretion, we recommend a maximum of 2 per amplifier channel even where the amplifier will support more for optimal performance. Also note series & series parallel connections are not supported. 3rd Party Amplification: Amplifier Type: Solid State Recommended min. power: Recommended max. power: 200 W @ 8Ω amp rating 520 W @ 8Ω amp rating 25 W @ 8Ω amp rating 100 W @ 8Ω amp rating Valve Recommendations serve as a guide, if you are unsure about any of the above then consult a qualified technician.
