Streaming with the Matrix Audio mini-i Pro 4

A streamer brings music from the network into your audio system. To do this, connect the mini-i Pro 4 to your router via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable.

Music from Spotify or TIDAL can be sent to the device via the respective app. The Matrix Audio MA Remote app also provides access to services such as Qobuz and internet radio; AirPlay 2 enables streaming from compatible Apple devices.

You can also continue to use your own music collection: Connect a suitable USB storage device containing music files to the USB-C port on the back and select tracks using the app.

Connecting headphones to the Matrix Audio mini-i Pro 4

A dedicated amplifier is already built in for headphones. On the front, there is a connection for large 6.35 mm jack plugs and another for compatible balanced 4.4 mm headphone cables.

It is essential that your headphones' plug and cable fit the selected connection. You do not need to adjust the technical differences and power levels for normal music playback.

Connecting a TV and stereo system to the Matrix Audio mini-i Pro 4

For TV sound, check whether your TV has an HDMI port labeled "ARC" and can output audio as PCM stereo. ARC transmits the TV sound to the streamer; if the device controls are compatible, you can also adjust the volume using the TV remote control.

You can connect a CD player via its optical or coaxial digital output. The USB-B port is intended for audio playback from a computer, while a stereo RCA input is for devices with an analog audio output.

The built-in digital-to-analog converter, or DAC, prepares digital music for the analog audio outputs. The sound reaches your amplifier or suitable active speakers via RCA or XLR, two common audio connections.

Operating the Matrix Audio mini-i Pro 4

The touch display shows album covers and track information, among other things. Music and settings can be controlled using the MA Remote app; alternatively, the RM5 remote control is included.
