# Working with Matrix Arrays

<figure><img src="/files/VCR51xVUFLcvarQjVyBs" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

A Matrix Array is a collection of one or more HOLOPLOT X1 Modules (MD96, MD80-S or S21), or of one or more X2 modules (MD30) configured as a single unit.

X1 and X2 modules cannot be combined together inside the same array.

Arrays in HOLOPLOT Plan contain beams with tailored properties that are visualized in the Simulation and can later be deployed to real-world arrays for system configuration and sound reproduction. You can create an array in HOLOPLOT Plan using the Array Builder window (recommended), or design one externally in SketchUp and import it as a .glTF file.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.holoplot.com/holoplot-plan/working-with-matrix-arrays.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
