MATRIX M3/M8 series
The Matrix M8 loudspeaker has been developed to provide superior audio intelligibility at high SPL and a wider frequency response, while ensuring a consistent beamwidth in the user's chosen vertical coverage. This precise beam control extends to 10kHz, far exceeding the benchmark 4kHz of traditional single-driver speakers. To better control the lower frequencies, Tuned Dipolar technology was developed to provide more consistent control of the low frequency response than other systems of similar size. A user selectable Music/Vocal mode switch is built-in to allow quick and easy system optimization. Music mode provides a flat, balanced frequency response, while Vocal mode adds a mid-frequency range for improved speech intelligibility. The M8 loudspeaker array is able to concentrate acoustic energy where it is needed, i.e. in the listening area, which leads to a significant improvement in speech intelligibility and music clarity even in critical acoustic environments. For even more versatility, the vertical dispersion pattern can be switched to wide or narrow coverage.
About NEXT-proaudio
NEXT-Proaudio is a Portuguese company that has been offering a wide range of active and passive sound systems for thirty years. In addition, they also offer concert line-aligned systems and a whole range of installation loudspeakers.
European Production
One of the advantages of NEXT Pro Audio is 100% European production. The company uses renowned Italian B&C speakers and Powersoft amplifiers . From the beginning, the Portuguese focused on the quality of the products offered.
Advanced computer support, loudspeaker design tools, electroacoustic measurement systems and specially designed acoustic rooms support a highly qualified team of engineers who aim to design the highest quality equipment
Simple and discreet installation T
This bracket is designed to give a certain degree of freedom to the speakers, allowing pan and tilt movements. The bracket can be attached to both the top of the speaker and the bottom, giving the user more flexibility in choosing the angle of inclination. When connected to the top of the M8, the range of inclination is from 0º to 10º
Application examples
Since the vertical range is very limited to avoid unwanted reflections, positioning the speakers is a very important step when installing new units. Along with optimal speaker positioning, the selected coverage and equalizer are very important for good uniformity and sound quality.
NARROW MODE
When the audience is fully seated or fully standing, narrow mode can cover the venue with the best control and maximum distance range. The acoustic center of the speaker must be aligned with the listener's ears
WIDE MODE
When the audience is sitting and standing, wide angle mode can be a great solution as it can disperse the energy by reaching the entire audience. The acoustic center of the speaker must be aligned with the average ear height of the listener. Widescreen mode can also be used with tilted viewers.
COMBINED COVERAGES
In larger venues where the audience extends over long distances, two M8 units would be the best combination. In this case, the user must connect them using an extension plate (available as an accessory). Both units must be set to narrow coverage mode to minimize interference between both speakers
Tuned dipolar technology
Small, conventional loudspeakers do not provide significant vertical directionality control at lower frequencies due to their physical size. To better control the lower frequencies, Tuned Dipolar technology was developed to provide more consistent control of the low frequency response than other systems of similar size.
Choose your color
To suit your architectural needs, the M8 is also available in white.

Handle options:
Adjustable wall mount for both MATIX3 and MATRIX 8 speakers. The mount is designed to provide a degree of freedom for the speakers, allowing for vertical and horizontal movement. The bracket can be attached to both the top and bottom of the speaker, allowing the user more flexibility in terms of tilt angles. When suspended on top of the M8, the angle of inclination is from 0º to 10º. If the adjustable bracket is attached to the bottom of the M8, the angle of inclination will vary from 0º to 30º. On the M3 model, the only option is to attach an adjustable wall bracket to the top of the enclosure, allowing movement from 0º to 28º. On both the M3 and M8 models, the maximum movement of the panels will be 146º (73º on each side)
Matrix SPB
Standard bracket designed to mount the MATRIX 3 and Matrix 8 cabinets on a standard 35mm diameter pole connecting the bass cabinet
