AETM132 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 It is possible to use another triad matrix audio switch with a secondary controller? At the moment I have the same equipment fully occupied and it is necessary to use this equipment again in another rack for other areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Yes. But you need enough audio outputs and you may have some sync issues depending on how it's wired. AETM132 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob21 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I am planning on doing the same thing. @msgreenf What sync issues are you thinking about? Any advice on how to best go about this is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Controller outputs are synced as such: if you have a controller connected to the same or near enough the same switches/amplifiers in both locations, you should be just fine. What the sync issues are usually related to is if there are large differences i the setup/wiring. For example, are you feeding audio into a combination a/v matrix then to an amp on one end, and doing controller outputs directly to amplifiers on another end? If so, there's certainly the chance of the actual sound not being perfectly in sync. This may not be an issue if it's a separate building/isolated area, but if (for example) you're adding a zone in the bar from your new setup, and have one in the seating area in front of the bar from the old setup..... msgreenf, AETM132 and Rob21 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob21 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 @Cyknight that’s very helpful. Thank you. Are there any issues mixing EA and Core series controllers in a setup like this? I currently have an EA5 as my primary controller and so I am considering upgrading to a core 5 and using the EA5 as the second controller. Thanks again.
