Matrix loaded

The Matrix Speaker Series from Brax offers fantastic combination possibilities. We tested the two-way version with phase plug.

By Holger Seybold

In mathematics, a ”matrix” is a kind of table in which there are certain correlations between the elements. The computer expert refers to a ”complex system.” This meaning was also the basis of the blockbuster movie ”Matrix”.
The possible combinations of the speaker series Brax Matrix can also be shown in such a table. There is one woofer with a phase plug and one without, a three-way and a two-way crossover, as well as a mid-range system and a tweeter. Both crossovers are also equipped for double woofer operations. If you have the choice...!
Our test combination is the Matrix 2-Way PP for € 1,500, which is the two-way version with phase plug woofer. The chassis have been available for the active mode for quite some time, but the crossovers have just recently been added on.
The woofer Matrix 6.1 PP (€ 440 per pair) inherited its black high gloss chassis from the Brax Graphic Series, but the cone material is new. The manufacturer uses a non-pressed paper cone, which is coated with aluminium oxide after it is made. This helps to achieve a balanced ratio between stability, inner damping, and weight.
In the middle of the cone is the massive phase plug of stainless steel. It uses almost 8 percent of the cone area, but also conducts much heat out to the surface. The 37 mm voice coil receives the signal via stable terminals, which have the polarity (+) and (-) milled into the heads of the screws. The vents behind the centring spider, which have become obligatory, are on board, too, of course. A fine grille prevents small foreign objects from getting into it.
Furthermore, a lasered stainless steel ring is also included in the set. Mounted on the front side, it serves as a bracket for the grille; on the back, it is a ring for stability. Cool idea!
The woofer’s solid appearance is surpassed by the tweeter. The Matrix 1.1 is available for € 500 per pair, and its high quality standard can literally be felt. Its massive stainless steel enclosure has an outer thread with a threaded ring for installation. Under the magnetic grille is the 28 mm soft dome, which is also double coated. On the back side are two wire connectors, which can hold wires with a diameter of up to 3 mm.
In the inside, the 1.1 has a little secret: the ”Matrix Plug.” This is a pointed cone located on the back plate, which redirects the energy, which has been emitted out of the back to the side of the tweeter, in order to prevent a direct reflection to the diaphragm. The filling of pure lamb’s wool also effectively damps this energy.
Eight drill holes in the neodymium magnet connect the dome to the large rear chamber. The resonance frequency is enjoyably low at 750 Hz so that nothing can get in the way of even a low coupling. A very hot object!
Even both crossovers, each of which is responsible for one channel, are true works of art. Under the Plexiglas plate with an aluminium label, protected by a circumferential aluminium sheet, only the finest components can be found. The crossover frequency is stated as being 2600 Hz.
The level reduction for the tweeter is carried out as a voltage divider, which allows the transfer function to remain as constant as possible. A kind of equalizer built as an R-L circuit is also located in the high pass filter.

As previously mentioned, the 12 dB low pass filter can simultaneously run two woofers. To do so, the two responsible jumpers only need to be set to <2 ohms. The network establishes contact with the outside world using a massive gold plated connecting terminal. This is what high end should look like!
After the appraisal on the desk, testing phase number two follows in the publisher’s own TESTfactory. The slightly weak degree of efficiency was the only cause for criticism – the rest was inviolable. As far as the maximum level goes, the 6.1 PP nearly reached 98db at 50 Hz – only few 16’s were able to achieve this until now. The moment of truth was revealed in the third testing phase in the listening room, and the standards were incredibly high. Finally, a € 1,500 speaker system went to the starting blocks.
The first serious competitor was the 43 point reference MB Quart Q 216 Signature. The Q peeled a few more details out of the background, but acted comparably uneasy in doing so. There was no question that the Brax played superior and steadier. Hey, not bad!
It was time for the next rival, and the only one that could be considered was the 46 point referenceFocal Utopia Be Kit No. 6 – for € 2,500.
It was a true pleasure to listen to both of these noble systems! No matter whether R’n’B from Michael Jackson, the great voice of Clair Marlo, or the Austrian group Global Kryner with their ”new folk music” was in the player, neither of the two super systems could be tricked into making a mistake.
Up to medium power levels, the Brax came fascinatingly close to the Focal. In the high-range, the Brax closed in on the fantastic qualities of the Focal, but in the direct comparison, the French Beryllium tweeter was slightly more dynamic.
Sometimes the Brax intoned the voices slightly too hard, while the Focal played somewhat more naturally and rounder here. And at high levels, the Brax slackened the reins, while the Focal kept going on.
But just to make it clear: these were subtleties, nuances, trifles. Every normal listener would melt while listening to both systems and think they were both perfect. The Brax sounded simply exquisite and achieved excellent 44 sound points, and, therefore, was one of the five best-sounding speakers in the world. Bravo!
Summary: The Brax Matrix 2-Way PP is an absolute high end dream!

[Bildbeschriftungen]

A work of art: With eight drill holes, the diaphragm is connected to the damped rear chamber (top illustration), the installation of the stainless steel chassis is carried out with a threaded ring (bottom).

Treasure chest: The Matrix crossover with high-quality components is shielded with a surrounding Aluminium sheet.

Dual purpose: The crossover can be used with one or two subwoofers by simply setting two jumpers.



DATA SHEET

Виталий, Вы ошибаетесь!!!
Катушек - 6 штук и все они на "воздухе", емкостей - 7 штук (из них 2 электролитических биполярных) и 15 высокоточных сопротивлений , а сколько "золота" - так что кросс тянет минимум на 350 уёв!!!
И ещё - Вам такого качества кросса самим никогда не изготовить

Виталий!!!!
Да Вы - гений!!! Где-бы посмотреть на так называемое Ваше содержимое??? Это Вы видно на форуме Блюзмобиля таких глобальных знаний по поводу кроссостроения нахватались... И ещё - а откуда Вы знаете про содержимое данного кросса, о его характеристиках и возможностях?

Виталий!!!
Мы с тобой полностью согласны, что за такие деньги можно сделать очень серьёзный кросс и именно под конкретную акустику.... Только вот вопрос - почему тогда никто не делает (именно в кар-аудио), а те кто делали (вспомните тот же форум Блюзмобиля и Кармюзика) - так у них ничего путного (по-большому счёту) не получилось... Поэтому, на наш взгляд, проще будет не изобретать велосипед, а купить акустику с хорошим пассивным кроссом (именно хорошим), и разработанным для КОНКРЕТНОЙ акустики... и одним из кандидатов мы видим именно БРАКС и кстати таких кандидатов немного, а за эксклюзивность приходится к сожалению платить.
