MASTER

38. STATUS INDICATOR

These indicators are to inform you about the momentary operational status of the PowerMate’s internal power amplifier.

The PROTECT indicator lights when one of the power amplifier’s extensive protection functions – against thermal overload, HF-induction, DC at the outputs, and SOAR-protection – is activated. When the PowerMate is in protect mode, the speaker outputs are muted and the inputs of the power amplifier are short-circuited to prevent the amplifier from being damaged. In this case you should first check if the frontal and/or rear ventila- tion louvres are blocked. Another cause could be, that you have connected more than three 8ohms speaker systems per power output. Please also disconnect the SPEAKON connectors and check the speaker cables for short circuits.During the power-on operation, the PRO- TECT LED always lights for about two seconds. This

is normal. It indicates that the PowerMate’s protection circuitry is operational.

The LIMIT indicator signals that your operating the PowerMate at the internal amplifier’s limit. Frequent blinking of the LED is acceptable, since the amplifier’s incorporated limiter prevents the occurrence of distorti- on. Continuous lighting indicates that a degradation in the outputted sound is likely to happen. In that case, the master level should be reduced.

The POWER ON indicator is always lit when the PowerMate is in operational mode - i. e. it is switched on. If, after switching on the power, the LED is not lit, please make sure that the PowerMate’s mains cord is plugged in correctly. If this is the case and the LED is still not lit, please contact your dealer.

39. 7-BAND STEREO GRAPHIC EQUALIZER

The PM600’s integrated 7-band stereo graphic equalizer is located in the L/R master channel section. The seven frequency bands - each providing ±10dB amplification/ attenuation - offer the possibility to optimally match the overall sound to the acoustic conditions of different loca- tions or shape it according to your personal taste.
