MAT1 is a compact stereo matching unit for domestic or semi-pro record and replay equipment, the MAT 1 allows the benefits of inexpensive source equipment to be applied to the professional installation with no compromise in sound quality. As well as substantial cost savings, such machines also offer far wider choice and availability compared to their professional brethren and, if well chosen, can prove extremely reliable.

Mounted as close to the source equipment as possible, the MAT1 translates between the low level, unbalanced signals used by consumer devices and the higher amplitude, more noise-immune balanced format found in the professional environment. From that point onwards, interference from densely packed equipment will be rejected.

MAT1 provides matching in both the record (balanced to unbalanced conversion) and replay (unbalanced to balanced) directions for one piece of domestic recording equipment, such as a tape or MiniDisk recorder. The gain of both sections may be individually varied over a wide range that includes 0dB for higher level sources requiring balancing but no amplification.

MAT1 is packaged in a robust metal case which can be easily mounted on rack shelves, beneath woodwork or inside rack cabinets by means of screws, ties or double-sided tape. An optional 1U rackmount kit, RCK, is also available. They are supplied with a mains lead, comprehensive instructions and a five year warranty.
