Please inform the transport company immediately found know-how, based on our research, development if the PowerMate shows any damage. Being the address- and inter-communication with our customers in the pro- ee, you are the only person who can claim damages in fessional audio market, for decades. With a PowerMate transit. Keep the cardboard box and all packaging mate- you own a power mixer that offers a wide

3 POWERMATE 2 Controls, Indicators and Connections 2.1 Input Mono HINT: When connecting signal sources, please make sure to set the corresponding channel faders or at least the master faders to their minimum positions or engage the STANDBY switch. This will save you, your audience, and the equipment from extensive wear from unpleasant pops. 1 - MIC Electronically balanced XLR-type inputs for the connection of low impedance microphones like the ones featured in major studio and live mixing

3 POWERMATE HINT: Please, do not connect E-guitars or E-basses with passive, high impedance outputs directly to a LINE input. The LINE inputs of the PowerMate – like the Line level inputs of mixers from other manufacturers – are designed for the connection of the relatively low source impedance of electronic instruments. The reproduc- tion of the instrument’s original sound characteristics will be unsatisfactory. Connect those instruments using a special transformer or pre-amplifier with very

3 POWERMATE 5 - LO CUT 80 HZ When the LO CUT switch is engaged, frequencies below 80 Hz are attenuated (18 dB octave slope). In most cases using the LO CUT filter with microphone channels is a good advice, since it efficiently suppresses popping sounds, rumbling noise and low-frequency feedback. The only exceptions are kick drum and acoustic bass. Sometimes it can be also very effective to combine the LO CUT filter with the voicing filter. For instance to provide vocals with more “body”, without

3 POWERMATE 7 - EQ SECTION The mixer’s EQ section allows very differentiated shaping of the incoming audio signal within miscellaneous frequency bands. Turning one of the EQ level controls to the right enhances/amplifies the corresponding frequency range while turning it to the left lowers/attenuates the signal of that specific frequency band. Before you begin to alter the sound, all EQ controls should be set to their neutral position, i.e. their marker points straight up (locked in place). T

Surely and within no time, you will detect the frequency range that is not to your liking or caus- ing the feedback. 6. Leave the frequency control in this position and turn the MID control to the left until the sound is natural or to your liking. 8 - FX 1/2 The FX controls allow adjusting individual amounts of the input signals to be

3 POWERMATE HINT: Use the MUTE button for muting temporarily not used input channels without changing the settings of the FX/AUX/MON controls and the channel fader. 13 - PFL Engaging the PFL button routes the audio signal to the headphones bus, so that it is present at the phones output con- nector. The meter instrument in the master section is simultaneously switched, so that the left LED-chain indicates the level of the actually chosen channel (in dBu), which allows optimally matching the le

3 POWERMATE 2.2 Input Stereo Since most features – AUX faders, controls and channel faders – of the STEREO INPUTS are virtually identical to the ones of the MONO INPUTS we will not discuss their functioning in detail again. Thus, in the following we only point out the differences and like to ask you to refer to the analogous para- graphs within this owner’s manual describing the MONO INPUTS. 16 - MIC Different from the products of many other manufacturers, the stereo input channels of the Powe

3 POWERMATE HINT: If you use a keyboard as sound source on one of the stereo inputs, make sure that no split zones or layers with channel separation are activated. The stereo channel mapping will oth- erwise appear like it is set on the keyboard – the lower layer in the left and the top layer in the right channel – and you will not have the opportunity to re-position the sound in the overall stereo image, unless you connect the keyboard output to two adjacent monaural input channels, leaving

3 POWERMATE 23 - MON 1/2 These controls determine the amount of the summed L and R signal that is sent to the MON 1 or MON 2 summing bus. The signal gets always split pre fader. For more details on the functioning of these controls, please refer to the Input Mono section of this owner’s manual. 24 - BAL The function of the BAL control of the stereo channels is equivalent to the PAN control’s function of the monaural chan- nels. If you turn the rotary control all the way to the right, the right

3 POWERMATE 2.3 FX 1/2 The PowerMate offers two independently controllable, identically configured 24-bit stereo effect units – FX 1 and FX 2. Each unit provides 100 program presets, which are selected by the use of the UP/ DOWN buttons. Parameters of presets can be edited and stored as User Preset (101 - 120), see page 30 for details. The 100 presets are divided into groups according to their different effect struc- ture, as shown on a printed listing. The programs within each preset group ar

3 POWERMATE 32 - FX 1/2 TO AUX 1/2 These controls allow adding the output signal (pre fader) of FX 1 or FX 2 to the AUX 1 or AUX 2 channel. 33 - FX 1/2 TO MON 1/2 These controls allow adding the output signal of FX 1 or FX 2 to the MON 1 or MON 2 channel. Experience has revealed that the effect level in the monitor mix has to be lower than the level in the master mix, since the distance between monitor speakers and artists is much shorter. 34 - PK LED These indicators signal if the internal FX

3 POWERMATE 2.4 AUX 1/2 Generally, the AUX 1/2 channel is used for the connection of an additional, external FX unit. De- pending on the setting of the AUX 1/2 POST button, it is also possible to configure the bus for monitoring purposes. Additionally the AUX 1/2 channels are available at the DIGITAL AUDIO IN- TERFACE. 38 - AUX 1/2 SENDS This output provides connection for an external FX unit or, when used for monitoring, a power amplifier or active stage monitor speaker systems.
