Input Mono - Dynacord PowerMate 2200 Mode D'emploi

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 microphones are con-
nected, you have to press the PHANTOM button which
is located in the master section. The microphone gets
its operational voltage (+24Vdc) through the mixer
and you can forget about battery replacement times.
CAUTION: Make sure to always connect the microphones before turning on the phantom
power or switching the PowerMate on with activated phantom power. This is the only way
to certify that your microphones are not damaged. Also make sure to engage the stand-by
button in the master section to safe yourself and your environment from nasty power-on
noise.The connection of condenser type microphones and dynamic microphone models at
the same time is possible and should generally not lead to any problems. Before you do so,
please refer to the microphone's manual to make sure that this kind of operation is in accor-
dance to the manufacturer's guidelines.The MIC input is laid out for levels between –60dBu
... +11dBu – depending on the setting of the corresponding gain control. Because of their
low impedance design and the phantom power these XLR-type inputs are not meant for
cascading other mixing consoles or the connection of FX units, keyboards or other electro-
nic equipment. When connecting this kind of equipment, please use the LINE level inputs.
2. LINE
Electronically balanced inputs for the connection of electronic instruments, such as key-
boards, drum machines, E-guitars and E-basses with an active output, as well as all other
high level signal sources, like additional mixers, FX units, CD player, etc.The LINE input
is laid out for levels between –40dBu ... +30dBu. The connection of balanced or unba-
lanced signal sources is established through monaural or stereo phone plugs, assigned
according to the diagram below. If the device that you want to connect has a balanced
output stage, the use of balanced cables with stereo phone plugs is preferable. This type
of connection is greatly insensitive to the induction of external noise or HF interference.
Do not connect signal sources to the MIC and the LINE inputs at the same time, since the sig-
nals would interfere with each other, resulting in a level reduction.
One more note: Please, do not connect E-guitars or E-basses with passive, high impe-
dance outputs directly to one of the LINE inputs. The LINE inputs of the PowerMate – like
the Line level inputs of mixers from all other manufacturers – are meant for the connection
of the relatively low source impedance of electronic instruments or eqiupment. The repro-
duction of the instrument's original sound characteristics will be unsatisfactory – unless this
effect is intended. Those instruments should be connected using a special transformer or
pre-amplifi er with very high input impedance. Musical instruments that are equipped with
an active electronic output stage (battery) can be connected without second thoughts.
When connecting signal sources, please make sure that the corresponding channel fa-
ders or at least the master faders are at their minimal settings or the STANDBY button
is engaged. This will save you, your audience, and the equipment from extensive wear
from unpleasant knacking noise.
