Smart MARC Plus Feature Focus
Audio distribution with combining logic. MARC mixers have all the embedded logic necessary to manage the audio flow of dozens of room group sizes and topologies, and setup is a breeze. Mic preamps and auto-ducking are built in, so there is no need for extra components cluttering your rack.
Panel control. For One-Touch Room Combine, use the MARC Room Combine Panel. Each of MARC's rack-mounted Room Combine Panels is custom labeled to identify the rooms within the topology. These panels feature low profile membrane switches for simple combining and separating of rooms. There is also a security key lock on each panel to thwart unauthorized users from changing your system settings.
Complete systems mean less hassle. The MARC series give you all the system gear you need for flexible manages audio. This even includes wall-mount source input panels, local and program volume controls, and an easy to use contact closure interface for integration with other components.
MARC Pre-built Room Combine Kits. Prebuilt MARC Room Combine Kits offer time-saving, one-step solutions for comprehensive audio room combine installations--simply unpack, wire, connect and go. Systems arrive fully labeled and ready for installation--no programming is necessary.
Battery backup. All response curves, presets, and current audio matrix values are stored internally in battery-backed nonvolatile RAM. Even in the event of a power failure, the matrix mixer saves its settings, ramping all levels back to their previous values five seconds after power restoration.
Connectivity. Every MARC Series matrix facilitates serial communication via RS232, TCP/IP LAN, and the internet. Front and rear panel RS232 communication ports allow quick onsite diagnostics, and an optional PCMCIA Logic Card allows up to eight contact closure inputs with eight output indicators.
Contol. Free MARC Designer Software allows you to monitor, control, and troubleshoot an entire MARC room combine system from any remote location with an internet connection. Included real-time event scheduling software allows you to program repetitive or unique audio activities in a simple platform closely resembling standard PDA scheduling software.
Security. To ensure only legitimate users connect to and control the MARC matrix, MARC Designer Software includes an authorized client list providing internal firewall protection from unauthorized ethernet connections.

Smart MARC Plus Accessories
Factory-Installed Mic/Line Preamplifiction Card
The Intelix factory-installed Mic/Line Card provides +15V phantom power and up to 60 dB of gain for eight MARC matrix audio input channels (specify one Mic/Line Card per every eight inputs which require preamplification).
RC Panel
Room Combine Panel
Rack-mounted MARC Room Combine Panels depict the facility's architectural layout and provide manual wall status selection for the onsite facility manager. Room combine panels are available in stock topology configurations, custom topology configurations up to 16 rooms, and with custom background artwork.
RCS Control Station
Room Control Station
Triple wall-gang box Intelix RCS room control stations provide a simple remote control interface for end-users. The standard RCS provides keylock security and is labeled for local volume control, background music volume control, page privacy (page muting), as well as source selection between a local microphone, line input, and background music. An RCS-Custom allows custom labeling of buttons and knobs. Both style remotes may be custom programmed through Intelix MARC Designer Software.
Source Panel
Source Panel
The Intelix Source Panel provides a single wall-gang box mountable panel with one XLR microphone connector and two RCA transformer summing line connectors.
MARC Designer Software
Intelix MARC Designer Software is a unique, all-inclusive platform designed for the system designer, programmer, installer, and end-user. MARC Designer Software is included free with every MARC matrix purchase.

MARC Designer Software

MARC Designer Software - Design, Install, and ControlIntelix MARC Designer Software is a unique, all-inclusive platform designed specifically for room combining, providing solutions for the system designer, programmer, installer, and eventual end-user.

Specifically, MARC Designer Software:

  • Contains all the complex logic for combining two to sixteen rooms, so no extensive programming is required

  • Provides design and programming tools from an architectural point-of-view mirroring that of the actual facility

  • Allows unique topologies and custom configurations

  • Includes built-in keylock facility management software

  • Includes assistive software wizards for quick, straight-forward design, programming, and installation

  • Allows live control, monitoring, diagnostics, and troubleshooting for anywhere with an internet connection...and the software is 100% free.

The secret behind the Intelix MARC room combining designer software lies in the system's embedded logic. Unlike matrices and switchers which are not designed specifically for room combing and force you to manually program input and output routes, MARC arrives preprogrammed with all of the complex logic for room combining. Simply select the room layout, then the number, location and type of sources and destinations, and your complex system is defined--programming a sixteen room system is as easy as programming a two room system.
