Combination of element-wise and matrix multiplication

I have two 2x2 arrays a & b.
a=(([c,d],[e,f]))
b=(([g,h],[i,j]))
Each of c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j are all 1xN arrays
I want to matrix multiply a & b to create a 2x2 array x, where the elements
of x are created with element-wise math and result in the following:
x[0,0] = c*g+d*i
x[0,1] = c*h+d*j
x[1,0] = e*g+f*i
x[1,1] = e*h+f*j

What is the simplest way to do this? I ended up doing the matrix
multiplication manually as above but this doesn't scale very nicely if a & b
become larger size.

Cheers,

Jonno.
