N‑Matrix is designed with the highest sound quality, ease of use and unique features in
mind. It complements the line of HUM Audio Devices mastering equipment, together with the
LAAL Look Ahead Analogue Limiter. Like all other devices, N‑Matrix is carefully hand‑built in
our lab in Poland.
‑ Mastering Patchbay/Switcher/Insert Processor.
‑ Fully analog, all‑discrete audio signal path.
‑ Very high headroom, wide band, and very low noise (+/‑24V int. powering).
‑ Fully balanced signal flow, from inputs to outputs.
‑ All‑passive, lossless signal switching, based on top‑quality relays with gold‑plated contacts.
‑ Perfectly transparent sound, no matter what settings or operating mode you use.
‑ Two independent stereo inputs and outputs A and B .
‑ Six‑slot stereo main inserts chain.
‑ Possibility to split the main chain into two three‑slot sub‑chains [A] and [B].
‑ Five modes of operation, with linear or parallel processing, splitting and stems summing.
‑ Possibility to sum two stereo input stems flowing through two parallel chains.
‑ Summing is based on discrete op‑amps we designed for our famous LAAL limiter.
‑ Cascading two or more N‑Matrixes opens up even more incredible possibilities for
multi‑stem summing and processing.
‑ All‑discrete M/S Matrix with lots of features.
‑ M/S Encoder and Decoder effectively serve as two additional inserts and can be used
at any point in the inserts chain.
‑ Output section with Out A, Out B, and Side signal trimming, muting, and soloing.
‑ Rotary stepped control for outputs and for Side signals trimming.
‑ All inputs/outputs use balanced XLR sockets.
‑ 2U chassis, classic design with top‑quality buttons and solid machined aluminium knobs.
‑ Custom‑made shielded AC cord.
