The PowerMate
The PowerMate has long been regarded as the epito-
me of a powered mixer, offering uncompromised pro-
fessional quality in every department: professional
components, professional features, professional relia-
bility. With well over 80,000 units already sold, the
PowerMate is one of the most important products in
the pro audio sector — not just the biggest selling but
undisputedly the best product of its kind on the mar-
ket. It’s the Formula One of power mixers, so it’s hard-
ly surprising that the PowerMate has won numerous
awards and come out on top in countless comparative
tests. But aside from its quality, it’s the fact that it
matches perfectly the needs of its users that makes
the PowerMate the outstanding solution for a wide
range of professional sound reinforcement applica-
tions. Now, after many extraordinarily successful
years, the PowerMate has undergone a metamorpho-
sis from which it emerges, more powerful, more fully-
featured, and more elegant than ever before: the
Power and the Beauty.
What makes a PowerMate a PowerMate?
All the function groups of the PowerMate are 100%
professional in terms of their design and specification.
First comes the mixing section, where you will find
high-quality, discrete microphone preamps, new, dust-
proof ALPS faders (specially developed for the
PowerMate) with very high attenuation even in the HF
range, 48V phantom power switchable to the channels
in groups of six and a dynamic range that would put
most dedicated professional mixers to shame. AUX
3+4 are separately switchable pre/post fader. Then
come the ultra-efficient Class H power amplifiers,
which now deliver 2 x 700 W into 4 Ohms (PM 1000
and 1600). They are equipped with dynamic limiters,
an extensive range of protections and the patented
LPN filter for clearly improved bass performance.
Finally in the effects section, the two digital effects
processors offer 99 studio quality presets each and
are individually foot-switchable.
On top of these, there are many other useful features
designed to solve special problems, such as the two
feedback filters, the vocal voicing filter and the stand-
by switch.
This is a powered mixer that can also be used as a
pure mixer, with power amplifiers every bit as good as
dedicated 19” concert sound amplifiers, and studio
quality effects specially optimised for live performance.
Housed in a robust case with a sturdy metal lid, the
PowerMate is manufactured in Germany to the
highest standards. Nothing else sounds like it. Nothing
else performs like it. And nothing is as reliable.
