Tim,

It might seem that long, but couldn't have been more than 50 years ago, the PM1000 with it's "standard equipment" 4x4 matrix was released in 1974.

Matrix feeds were as useful then as they are today, like it said in the PM1000 manual:
"During a performance, stage monitor speakers and on-stage electric instrument amps fill the near-stage audience with considerable amounts of instrumental sound. Therefore, reinforcement loudspeakers aimed at this portion of the audience require less instrumental and more vocal than those loudspeakers covering the middle and rear portions of the audience".

I used the PM1000 matrix in clubs under 300 capacity back in the 1970s, and missed the convenience of being able to easily adjust the balance of instrument/vocal in front fills on other consoles lacking the feature.

Never missed the weight...
