Main MIX

STANDARD INSTALLATION

4.Starting from the center position, you can adjust the controls until the sound is to your liking. Please, keep in mind that major alteration of the EQ-setting does not necessarily result in the improvement of the overall

sound. Especially when sound shaping is concerned, less can be more.

5.Repeat the steps 1 - 4 for all stereo input channels in use.

∙If musical instruments are connected directly to the monaural inputs, follow the descriptions above for adjustment of the microphones.

∙Make sure, that all channel faders, gain controls, and LINE TRIM controls of unused input channels are at their minimal setting. In this way you avoid unnecessary noise.

Position the master faders in the range between –30dB and –20dB.

∙Establish a basic mix, using the channel faders, so that the individual sound levels relate to each other according to your personal taste.

∙The best range for the channel faders to be set to is in the area of –5dB to 0dB. In this way you are provided with enough tolerance for later adjustments.

∙Use the master faders to adjust the overall volume.

∙In case you are using the FX units, please proceed like this:

1.Adjust the AUX1/FX1 send controls at their center position.

2.Adjust the FX1 return fader at the –5dB mark.

3.Use the UP/DOWN buttons to select the desired effect preset.

4.Press the FX ON button.

5.Play the sound source of the desired input channel and adjust the desired amount of the FX signal, using the AUX/FX controls of this input channel. Repeat this step for all input channels that you want to include in your effect mix.

6.Adjust the AUX/FX SEND controls, so that the Peak LED only lights frequently at highly dynamic signal peaks. If necessary, repeat steps 1 - 6 for the second internal FX unit (FX2).

MONITOR MIX

For now, we presume, that you are not using the PowerMate within the audience area but on-stage.

∙Lower the setting of the AUX3 fader within the master section.

∙Engage the AUX3 POST button within the master section.

∙Adjust the AUX3 faders of all input channels that are momentarily in use at their center position. In this way the main mix and the monitor mix are completely identical.

∙Push the AUX3 fader up until a slight feedback noise is heard.

∙Activate the FEEDBACK FILTER and adjust its control, so that the feedback disappears.

∙Use the AUX3 fader to reduce the AUX3 level by about –6dB. This will provide you with enough “headroom” to avoid feedback even during the performance, when some microphone positions are changed disadvantageously.

∙Use the FX to AUX3 control to add the effect mix to the monitor mix, without influencing the main mix. Normally, the monitor mix needs a smaller amount of effect than the main mix.

Let the artists perform some and check the sound of the system from different angles and distances. If you come to the conclusion that some corrections in the overall sound image are necessary, activate the 7-band equalizer and match the sound to your liking. By doing so, you should keep in mind, that during the performance the sound is going to be altered because the audience is present, which has a major effect on the acoustical condition of the location, the degree of first reflections, and the absorption of low frequencies. If possible, you should check the “sound in the house” during the performance and – if necessary – adjust it to the changed conditions.

And for the rest, we like to wish you lots of fun and success with your new PowerMate mixer.
