Switching Systems and Modules
Matrix Systems is a California corporation founded in 1969
to answer the need for reliable and modular switching products
to serve the communications, automatic test equipment, and
television industries. Matrix' first product was a unique,
compact, coaxial switch module which is still in production
today. The success of that first product pointed the way to
the entire line of modular matrices and computer controlled
switching devices.
A cornerstone of the Matrix philosophy has been the company's
dedication to its products, and as a result, a large part of
the operating revenues are continuously reinvested in development
of new products and in product improvement.
Initially, all sales were made directly from the factory, but
with the growing popularity of the Matrix product family, a
network of sales representatives was appointed to better serve
local markets. Today there are sales reps or offices in 27 of the
United States and in 18 other countries around the world.
The People
In any successful company it's the contribution of each individual
employee which makes the success possible. Nowhere is that
principle more true than at Matrix. The staff of more than 27
encompasses the professional and skilled disciplines necessary
to produce consistently high quality products. Yet the relatively
small size of the Matrix organization allows close working
relationships between departments and effective interoffice
communications, all of which helps insure a continued high
caliber of customer service and support.
The Facilities
The modern Matrix facilities are located approximately 45 minutes
northwest of Los Angeles International Airport in the rapidly
developing community of Calabasas, California. Planned to serve
present and future needs, the 14,000 square foot, concrete tilt-up
building is company-owned.
Precision and semi-automatic equipment is used for in-house
manufacture of critical components and subassemblies, resulting
in a high level of product quality control and in dependable
delivery quotations.
The engineering laboratories and manufacturing areas are in
close proximity so that custom designs and special requirements
can be implemented efficiently. Circular flow of product through
the manufacturing area maximizes throughput, while permitting
centralized Production Control. At Matrix, we've tried to design
our facilities with the same care we use in designing our products.
The Products
The Matrix product range covers applications from audio switching
systems to complex, computer controlled arrays for switching ultra
high frequency signals. Switchpoint controllers have capacities
to manage up to 3200 switch points, and systems can be constructed
to handle nearly any conceivable switching requirement. In
addition to the broad line of standard, off-the-shelf switching
systems, Matrix specializes in custom configurations for OEM
applications.
Matrix insists on a high standard of quality for all its
products, and each product is designed to operate comfortably
in the most severe industrial environments. The design goal
of modularity and expandability is evident in all Matrix systems,
and easy maintenance access is also part of the package.
The applications for Matrix products are as varied as the list of
Matrix customers, which includes many well known aerospace
companies, defense contractors, broadcast and telephone
companies, and other high technology and communications
firms.
We hope that you too will call on Matrix' capabilities for your
switching equipment requirements. We'll give your requirements
the same attention and care that have helped us earn thousands of
satisfied customers over the years.
