INPUT/MONO 1. MIC Electronically balanced XLR-type inputs for the connection of low impedance microphones, likewise the ones that are featured in major studio and live mixing consoles. This type of input stage provides extraordinary low noise signal conversion at an extremely low distortion rate (typical <002%) even in the high frequency range. Generally, any type of microphone can be connected as long as its pin assignment is in accordance to the diagram shown aside. When condenser microphone

INPUT/MONO 3. INSERT Stereo phone jack with breaker function. The low impedance output is assigned to the tip (send) and the high impedance input (return) is assigned to the ring (body). This jack allows the connection of external compressors, limiters, EQs, de-noisers, etc. into the corresponding channel’s signal path. The insertion point is post gain controls, Lo-Cut filters, and voicing stage and pre sound shaping section and faders. You have to use a stereo phone plug – according to the fol

INPUT/MONO Sometimes it can be also very effective to combine the LO CUT filter with the VOICING filter. For instance to provide a “thin” voice with more “body”, without getting additional low pitched noise. Whenever the LO CUT is engaged, raising the bass level (LO EQ) provides you with a richer sound, but no additional rumbling or popping noise. Another welcome side effect is, that the power amplifier and the connected loudspeakers do not get “polluted” with unnecessary low pitched noise. And

INPUT/MONO Adjustments in the MID range are certainly the most effective way to shape the sound. As a matter of fact, determining the correct center frequency is not always as easy as it seems. Here is one method – amongst others – how to quickly find the right setting of the parametric EQ for your application. Note on how to adjust the parametric EQ: 1.Slightly lower the channel fader to avoid feedback. 2.Turn the MID rotary control all the way to the right (+15dB). 3.Play the desired sound sou

INPUT/MONO The AUX3 POST button is engaged (LED is lit): the signal at the AUX3 rotary control is POST FADER – the signal gets split after it passed the channel faders and therefore is affected by their settings. Setting all AUX3 controls to their center position, the main mix is also present on the monitor bus, giving you the opportunity to control the volume settings individually from the stage. The overall volume of the monitor mix is set with the AUX3 fader in the master section. If you are

INPUT/STEREO Since most features of the stereo inputs are virtually identical to the ones of the monaural inputs, we will not discuss their functioning in detail again. Thus, we only point out the differences and ask you to refer to the analogous paragraphs in the first chapter of this owner’s manual. 14. MIC Like their monaural counterparts the stereo input channels of the PowerMate incorporate extensive circuitry and electronically balanced XLR-type connectors for the connection of low impedan

INPUT/STEREO with pre-programmed channel mapping is to use two adjacent monaural input channels, leaving you the option to place the sound in the final mix via PAN controls. One more tip, in case you desperately need another input and all channels of the PowerMate are already in use: The microphone input and the phone plug-type inputs are electrically totally separated from each other. Each input is equipped with its own gain control – respectively trim control, providing you with the possibilit

INPUT/STEREO 21. BAL The function of the BAL control of the stereo channels is equivalent to the PAN control’s function of the monaural channels. If you turn the rotary control all the way to the right, the right signal is outputted to the right output while the signal of the left channel is muted. When the control is set to its center position, the L/R signals are present with their equal intensity on the corresponding outputs. Whenever stereo sound sources are connected to a stereo channel, yo

EFFECT 1/2 FX1/FX2 The PowerMate offers two independent, identical configured 18bit stereo effect units – FX1 and FX2. Each unit provides 99 program presets which are selected by the use of the UP/DOWN buttons. The presets are divided according to the different effect types into seven different groups which are shown on the printed labels. The programs within each preset group are sorted in ascending order where higher numbers provide the same FX type with increased intensity. The presets 1 - 20

EFFECT 1/2 29. AUX/FX SEND These rotary controls could also be defined as FX SEND master controls, since they are used to adjust the overall level of the effect mix that you have established using the channel FX send controls. The AUX/FX SEND controls are used to set the input levels of the corresponding FX unit, respectively the levels of the AUX SEND outputs. Whenever the Peak LED (PK) blinks, there is the potential risk that the FX input signal is driven into clipping, making it necessary to

AUX 3 Generally, the AUX3 channel is used as monitor bus. Depending on the setting of the AUX3 POST switch, it is also possible to configure the bus for the connection of an additional, external FX unit. 33. AUX3 SEND This output is meant for the connection of an external FX unit, a power amplifier or active stage monitor speaker systems, when the AUX3 bus is used for monitoring purposes. Using the AUX3 fader, the output level can be adjusted in a wide range up to +20dBu. The AUX3 send is design

PHONES + MONO OUT + STAND BY 38. MONO OUTPUT At the monaural output the summed L/R signal of the master is present. It can be used for additional monitoring, side fill and “next door” applications, or to establish a delay-line. CAUTION:The outputted signal is not only affected by the setting of the MONO OUT fader but also by the MASTER faders’ setting. 39. PHONES OUTPUT Stereo phone jack for the connection of headphones with an impedance of 32 – 600 ohms. The audio signals of the channels wher

MASTER 43. STEREO RETURNS The stereo returns are used to route stereo signals (e. g. of an additional external mixer, FX unit, etc.) to the master output. In case you want to connect a monaural device, please use only the L/MONO return connector. The monaural signal is internally routed to both channels. 44. STEREO RETURN Rotary control for level adjustment of the signals coming from the STEREO RETURNS. The actually outputted level is also influenced by the setting of the master faders. 45. RECO

MASTER 49. MAIN INSERTS Stereo phone jack for the left and the right channel with breaker function. The low impedance output is assigned to the tip (send) and the high impedance input (return) is assigned to the ring of the connector. This jack allows the connection of external EQs, compressors, limiters, etc. into the master’s signal path. The insertion point is pre master faders. As well as with the inserts of the monaural input channels, different DIRECT OUT functions can be accomplished. Ple

MASTER 55. POWER AMP STATUS indicators These indicators are to inform you about the momentary operational status of the PowerMate’s internal power amplifier. The POWER ON indicator is always lit when the PowerMate is in operational mode. If the LED is not lit after you have turned the power on, please make sure that the PowerMate’s mains cable is correctly plugged in. If this is the case and the LED is still not lit, please contact your dealer. The LIMIT indicator signals that you are operating

MASTER 57. 7-BAND EQUALIZER The EQ ON switches activate the 7-band graphic EQs within the Power- Mate’s master channels. The EQ’s insert point is post master fader and pre power amplifier. The EQ is bypassed when the EQ ON switch is not locked in its “ON” position. The two graphic EQs provide seven frequency bands, each. Through these faders you are able to match the overall sound optimally to the acoustic conditions of different locations or shape it according to your personal taste. Each frequ
