MASTER PATCHBAY AND INSTALLATION ALTERNATIVES

The patch field within the master section is referred to as MASTER PATCHBAY.

The mixer’s LINE OUTPUTS, RETURNS, and INSERTS are to be found here. To provide you with a wide variety of connection possibilities, the MASTER INSERTS, MAIN OUTPUTS, EQ INPUTS and EQ OUTPUTS, POWER AMP INPUTS, and the AUX SENDS and AUX RETURNS can be independently connected with each other or routed to external devices. In the basic configuration – when no plugs are inserted into any of the MASTER INPUT connectors

the signals are patched internally and fed to the internal power amplifier. Once you connect a plug to the INSERTS, EQ INPUTS, or the POWER AMP INPUTS, the internal signal path is interrupted, providing you with the opportunity to include external signals. Following, we would like to show you some examples of how to use the MASTER PATCHBAY.

1. Connecting an external power amplifier:

If you need to connect more loudspeaker systems than the PowerMate is capable of handling directly, you have to use an external power amplifier. Using NF-cables with phone plug-type connectors, you can patch the signal either at the MAIN OUTPUTS – pre EQ – or at the EQ OUTPUTS – post EQ. In this configuration the signal path to the internal power amplifier is not interrupted and the audio signal is outputted via the speaker systems connected to both amplifiers.

2. Connecting an additional mixing console:

If you need additional input channels, you have to connect an external mixing console. In doing so you can either use up another LINE INPUT of the PowerMate or – as shown in the diagram below – connect the external device to the STEREO RETURNS. In combination with the PowerMate’s stereo return control, the latter solution offers the additional benefit of matching the level of the additional console to the PowerMate’s operating level.
