I would say: "Él lo dijo con un tono impersonal" grin

I looked in my "big fat" dictionary [Collins Span > Eng and Eng > Span - 7th Edition - 2003] and found in it :

Matter-of-fact = Práctico

I wonderd about that but I suppose in English, matter-of-fact means with no particular emphasis or attention so I guess it's good. If so, I suggest in Spanish:

El lo dijo en voz práctico. = (I hope) He said it in a practical [matter-of-fact] voice.

mmm i'm not entirely sure, maybe: Lo dijo con un tono de "es un hecho"

o un tono de "es realidad"
