Overview

This mxm provides serial remote control to the Peavey MediaMatrix software. Product Features MediaMatrix is a versatile digital audio resource which allows you to design and build audio control systems on a function built computer equipped with specialized audio hardware and the MediaMatrix control software. (See “ http://mediamatrix.peavey.com/” for more details).

MxM Installation

The PASHA interface must be enabled in the MediaMatrix software.
