MASTER PATCHBAY AND INSTALLATION ALTERNATIVES
5. 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
channel. In other words: the internal power amplifi er is capable of driving a maximum of six 8 ohm speaker mo-
dels. The following diagram shows how the speakers have to be connected.
6. Active stereo 2-way confi guration:
In this example the internal power amplifi er of the PowerMate is used to drive the Hi/Mid cabinets. An active
cross-over is connected to the MAIN OUTPUTS or the EQ OUTPUTS which carry the full-range signals. 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 the POWER AMP
INPUTS. Compared to the passive confi guration, the overall sound gains transparency and higher volume levels
are possible, since the Hi/Mid cabinets do not have to deal with the low frequency signals.
