EFFECT 1/2
29. PHONES
Stereo phone jack for the connection of headphones with an impedance of 32 – 600 ohms which lets you listen to the PFL master signal.
30. PHONES
This control is used to adjust the headphone’s volume. CAUTION: Make sure to turn the control all the way to the left (minimum setting) before connecting the headphones.
31. RECORD SEND L/R
These RCA-type connectors carry the “pre-fader” master L/R signal. The signal is not affected by the setting of the master faders and therefore mostly used for the connection of cassette decks, open reel tape decks or DAT recorders for recording purposes. The nominal level of the outputs is –10dBV which matches the professional industry standard and home recording applications. Nevertheless, you should use the input gain control of your recording device - as far as it is provided. CAUTION: On most tape decks the incoming signal is directly carried through to the PLAYBACK outputs. In case you have connected the REC. SENDS and the 2TRACK RETURNS and the PowerMate’s 2TRACK to MASTER control is set to anything but its lowest setting, the recorded signal is again included into the main mix. The delay difference in delay of the two signals is responsible for occurring drop-outs and a general degradation of the sound. In the worst case, acti- vating the RECORD button on your tape deck could lead to very unpleasant feedback noise. To prevent this from happening make sure to set the 2TRACK to MASTER and the 2TRACK to AUX controls to their lowest settings during a recording.
32. 2TRACK RETURN L/R
These connectors let you connect a tape deck, a CD player, an open reel or an additional SUB-mixer. The signal is post master fader and post STANDBY switch providing you with the possibility to play intermission music during performance breaks or check the mix du- ring the rehearsal, using the headphones. You just have to engage the STANDBY switch to mute all channel signals at the main outputs and the monitor bus.
33. 2TRACK
ReturnThis control is used to mix the 2TRACK signal to the main mix (MASTER); post- fader of the master controls. CAUTION: When adjusting the level of the device that is connected to the 2TRACK RETURNS – CD player, tape deck, etc. – always start with the control adjusted at its minimal setting. Otherwise, depending on the quality of the recor- ding, the outputted volume can cause relative high levels at the power amplifier outputs.
34. 2TRACK to AUX
The signal coming from the 2TRACK RETURNS is internally summed and can be added to the AUX or the monitor bus. The signal’s level is set with the 2TRACK to AUX rotary control. Signal summing is done pre-fader to the 2TRACK to MASTER control, i. e. the signal is fed to the AUX output without being influenced by the 2TRACK to MASTER control’s setting.
35. MAIN OUTPUTS
The signals at the MAIN OUTPUTS are post L/R master fader and post the 7-band ste- reo EQ. They are mainly utilized for the feeding of additional, external power amplifiers. Through these outputs it is also possible to establish a two way active system set-up by either connecting an active frequency crossover or active sub woofers. If you want to use the internal power amplifier to supply the high frequency cabinets, the treble signal coming from the crossover has to be fed back to the PowerMate via the POWER AMP IN connectors.
36. POWER AMP INPUTS
These inputs are provided via electronically balanced phone jacks with breaker function. When inserting a phone plug, the signal path is split up between the master and the inter- nal power amplifier. This provides the opportunity to operate the internal power amplifiers from the POWER AMP INPUTS.
37. FX1/2 FOOTSWITCH
Phone jack for the connection of a DYNACORD FS11 foot switch, to switch the internal FX units on or off. To accomplish this function, the switches FX1 and FX2 have to be engaged.
