Bald nach Einführung der Odeon-Platten wurden von den Katalognummern getrennte Matrizennummern eingeführt. Im Gegensatz zu den nach Vertriebsgebieten organisierten Katalognummern sind die Matrizennummern den Aufnahmeorten zugeordnet. Jeder Odeon-Matrizenserie ist ein Buchstabencode zugeteilt, der einen notwendigen Bestandteil der Nummer bildet, da jede Serie eine eigene Nummernfolge bildet. Ursprünglich waren dies die Initialen der Aufnahmeorte (A = Amsterdam, B = Berlin, C = Constantinopel, L = London, P = Paris), jedoch stieß diese Methode sehr schnell an natürliche Grenzen: schon im ersten Jahr finden wir "E" ("Egypten") für Cairo und "F" ("Flämisch") für Brüssel, da die logisch konsequenten "B" und "C" bereits anderweitig in Gebrauch waren. Man löste das Problem, indem man mehrbuchstabige Codes zuließ, z.B. "Kp" für Kopenhagen und, kurioserweise, "Ph" für "Fonotipia".
Dem Ortscode wurden oft ein oder mehrere weitere Buchstaben beigefügt, um den Durchmesser der Matrize und/oder den Labeltyp, für den die Aufnahme bestimmt war, anzuzeigen (siehe unten). Die Größencodes tauchen dabei abwechselnd innerhalb derselben Matrizenserie auf, während z.B. für die Jumbo- und Jumbola-Serien gänzlich getrennte Serien angelegt wurden.
Soon after Odeon records appeared on the market, matrix numbers proceeding independently from catalogue numbers were introduced. While the catalogue number series indicated the country where the finished record was offered for sale, each matrix series belongs to a particular recording location. The matrix series are identified by letter codes that form a necessary part of the number, as each series forms its own numerical sequence. Originally, the initials of the cities where sessions took place were employed (A = Amsterdam, B = Berlin, C = Constantinople, L = London, P = Paris), but this simple method soon found its limits: After less than a year, we find "E" for Cairo ("Egypt") and "F" for Bruxelles ("Flemish"), because the logically expected "B" and "C" were already in use. They solved the problem by allowing multi-letter codes like "Kp" for Copenhagen (German spelling "Kopenhagen") and, curiously, "Ph" for "Fonotipia".
Often, one or more letters were added to the location code to indicate the diameter of the particular recording, or the label type it was intended for (see table below). The size codes usually appear intermixed within the same numerical series, while e.g. the Jumbo and Jumbola series form separate sequences of their own.
Tabelle 1: Kennbuchstaben für die verschiedenen Plattentypen und Durchmesser / Code letters describing various types and sizes of record
| [ohne / none] | 18 cm |
| x | 27 cm |
| xx | 30 cm |
| xxx | 35 cm |
| o | 25 cm Jumbo (blau/blue) |
| e | 25 cm Jumbola (grün/green) |
| g | 25 cm |
| L | 20 cm Derby |
| m | 15 cm Odeonette |
Tabelle 2: Für Odeon-Matrizen verwendete Ortscodes / Location codes used for Odeon matrices
Jede Zeile der untenstehenden Tabelle entspricht einer eigenen numerischen Abfolge, innerhalb derer sich Platten verschiedenen Durchmessers abwechseln können. Die Tabelle ist vermutlich nicht komplett, da sie zum überwiegenden Teil anhand vorhandener Platten und fragmentarischer Unterlagen rekonstruiert wurde und nicht auf authentischer Dokumentation beruht.
Each line in the table below represents a separate numerical sequence, frequently with several sizes intermixed. The table, presumably, is neither complete nor 100% correct, as it is mostly a reconstruction depending on records actually found today and fragmentary recording ledgers. It is not a transcription of an authentic Lindström document and should not be taken as such.
