The Matrio app gives you complete control over each of the eight output zones. The Zone Control menu allows you to adjust all parameters of the selected zone, including power on/off, source selection, volume control and mute. Additional functions are also available, such as adjusting bass and treble or left and right channel balance, all in an intuitive interface.
The Group Control menu of the Matrio application allows you to act directly on previously defined groups of zones. Thus, every setting made for a group applies to all zones in the group.
Matrio allows you to customize the names of sources, zones and peripherals so you can quickly identify the zones and recordings you are affecting. This is also a useful option when you need to group multiple zones. Changed names appear in the app for everyone on your network.
