An all-analogue insert matrix packed with nearly 300 relays just rolled out of HUM Audio Devices, and it is wildly overbuilt in the best way.

What the N-Matrix actually does
[LIST]
[*]Six insert points can be arranged in any order.
[*]Two separate three-insert signal chains are configurable.
[*]Parallel and series processing setups are both supported.
[*]Built-in Mid-Side encoding slots anywhere in the chain.
[/LIST]
Where it came from
[LIST]
[*]Mastering engineers wanted N-Trophy's switching without the console.
[*]HUM revealed the unit at this year's NAMM Show.
[*]It expands on the passive matrix from N-Trophy's center section.
[*]Front-panel controls handle all routing decisions directly.
[/LIST]
Engineering is absurdly thorough
[LIST]
[*]Nearly 300 high-quality relays manage all switching tasks.
[*]Fully balanced signal paths run throughout the entire unit.
[*]Separate PCBs for left and right channels boost performance.
[*]Active circuits only handle Mid-Side, trimming, and summing duties.
[/LIST]
Pricing and availability
[LIST]
[*]N-Matrix costs £4,662 with VAT and ships right now.
