59. PFL MASTER

Engaging the master PFL-button, the PRE FADER stereo master signal is routed to the headphones output. The volume of this signal is not affected by the setting of the MASTER faders.

60. MASTER L + R

Level controls to adjust the output signals of the left and right main outputs (MASTER).

Please, make sure that the corresponding input channel fader or at least the master faders are set to their minimal position or the STANDBY switch is engaged, before connecting an external sound source to an input of the PowerMate. This will save you, your audience, and the equipment from unnecessary stress.

POWER AMPLIFIER

The PowerMate’s PROCESSED PRECISION stereo power amplifier’s design uses bipolar technology to provide a nominal output power of 500 watts resp. 700 watts at 4 ohms per channel. The minimal load impedance of 2.7 ohms allows the operation with a maximum of three paralleled 8 ohm loudspeakers connected to each channel. Their low distortion rate and inter-modulation provide the amplifiers of the PowerMate with outstanding transmission capabilities that do not have to fear the comparison with professional high-end, stand-alone audio power amplifiers.

The amplifier is also designed to live through the hard wearing use of the touring operation. It incorporates protection circuitry against thermal and capacitive overload and short circuit as well as against HF-interferences or the occurrence of DC at the outputs. Further protection against back-feed of electrical energy is provided by a special circuit. When the PowerMate is switched on, a relay controls the delayed switching of the power outputs. The internal ventilators run shortly on full speed, signaling acoustically that the PowerMate is operational. A limiter controls the initial current inrush, preventing the mains fuse from being blown during power-on.

The extensive comparator circuitry constantly monitors the input and output signals and activates the internal limiters whenever a non-linear operational state is encountered. This provides reliable protection of the connected loudspeaker systems against overload and clipping. Even when the maxi- mum input level is overridden, no distortion is heard on the output. The amplifier also incorporates LPN-filters (DYNACORD patent). Together with the 12dB/70Hz LO-CUT filters, the Low Pass Notch filters eliminate transi- ent response faults of typical sound reinforcement speaker systems and provide your setup with an extraordinarily precise and powerful reproduction of low frequencies.
