MASTER PATCHBAY AND DIFFERENT SETUP ALTERNATIVES
3. Maximum amount of speakers in a passive confi guration:
The PowerMate allows the maximal connection of three loudspeaker cabinets with an impedance of 8 ohms per
power amp output channel. In other words: the internal power amplifi er is capable of driving a maximum of six 8
ohms speaker systems. The following diagram shows an example of how to set up your PowerMate for operation
with the maximum amount of speakers connected.
Usual power mixer applications do not include a monitor amps rack. Thus, active monitor systems, like the
DYNACORD AM12 for example represent a convenient alternative.
4. Active 2-way stereo confi guration:
This example uses the internal power amplifi er of the PowerMate to drive the Hi/Mid cabinets. The full-range
signal is fed via MAIN OUTPUTS or EQ OUTPUTS to an active crossover. The Lo-signal outputs of the x-over are
connected to an external power amplifi er, driving the woofer cabinets. The signal of the x-over's Hi-signal outputs
is fed back to the PowerMate's internal power amplifi er via POWER AMP INPUTS. Compared to the passive
confi guration, the overall sound gains transparency and higher sound pressure levels are possible, since the Hi/
Mid cabinets do not have to deal with the low frequency signals.
