55. POWER AMP STATUS indicators

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

The POWER ON indicator is always lit when the PowerMate is in operational mode. If the LED is not lit after you have turned the power on, please make sure that the PowerMate’s mains cable is correctly plugged in. If this is the case and the LED is still not lit, please contact your dealer.

The LIMIT indicator signals that you are operating the PowerMate at the internal amplifier’s limit. Frequent blinking of the LED is acceptable, since the amplifier’s incorporated limiter prevents distortion. Continuous lighting indicates that you have to be aware of a degradation in the outputted sound. In that case, the master level has to be reduced.

The PROTECT indicator is lit when one of the PowerMate’s extensive protection circuits – 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 amplifier’s inputs are short circuited to prevent the amplifier from being damaged. In this case you should first check if the ventilation 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 PROTECT LED always lights for about two seconds, signalizing that the PowerMate’s protection circuitry is ope- rational.

56. PHANTOM POWER

When this switch is pressed, all MIC inputs are supplied with +24V phantom power. Please make sure to engage the phantom power only when the PowerMate is switched off or in stand-by mode. With active phantom power the connection of unbalanced signal sources (key- boards, mixer, etc.) is not admissible, because this could lead to severe damaging of your equipment.

ATTENTION! IMPORTANT NOTICE!

In general, the operation of phantom powered condenser micropho- nes and balanced dynamic microphones at the same time does not lead to any problems.

Nevertheless, some balanced dynamic microphones are extremely sensitive. These models could get damaged when used on mixers with active phantom power. Please refer to the microphones’ owner’s manuals to make sure that this operation is permissible.

To be on the safe side, you should switch the PHANTOM POWER off, when using balanced dynamic microphones. This ensures that your sensitive microphones do not suffer from any damage.
