MASTER
49. MONO OUTPUT
At the monaural output the summed L/R master audio signal is present that can
be used for additional monitoring, side ll and “next door” applications, or for the
connection of a delay-line or subwoofer.
50. MONO OUT
With subwoofer operation, “next-door”, monitoring or delay line applications a
pre/post-switch able mono output often comes in handy.
PRE-FADER: The mono out’s signal is summed and outputted pre master
faders, i.e. the level at the mono out is independent from the
master faders’ settings.
POST-FADER: The mono out’s signal is summed and outputted post master
aders, i.e. the level at the mono out depends on the setting of
the master faders.
Of course, controlling the SUB’s level via master fader makes sense when using
an active monaural subwoofer. For monitoring applications, e.g. side ll on the
stage, using the pre-fader setting seems more reasonable.
51. PHONES
Stereo phone jack for the connection of headphones with an impedance of
32 – 600 ohms. The audio signals of the channels with PFL buttons engaged is
outputted via this connector.
The phones output presents the master L/R signal when there is no PFL button
engaged.
52. PHONES
This control sets the volume of the headphones connected.
CAUTION: Make sure to set the control to its minimum position before
connecting headphones
53. RECORD SEND L/R
These RCA-type connectors carry the PRE FADER master L/R signal. The signal
is not affected by the setting of the master faders and therefore mostly used for the
connection of cassette decks, open reel tape decks or DAT recorders for recording
purposes. The nominal level of –10dBV of the outputs matches the professional
industry standard as well as most home recording applications. Nevertheless, you
should use the input gain control of your recording device - as far as it is provided.
CAUTION: On most tape decks the input signal is directly carried through to the
outputs. In case you have connected both, the REC. SENDS and the 2TRACK
RETURNS, and the PowerMate’s 2TRACK to MASTER control is set to anything
but its lowest setting, the recorded signal is included in the main mix again. The
difference in delay of the two signals is responsible for dropouts and general
degradation of the sound. In the worst case, activating the RECORD button on
your tape deck could lead to very unpleasant feedback noise. To prevent this from
happening make sure to set the 2TRACK to MASTER and the AUX3/4 controls to
their lowest settings.
54. 2TRACK RETURN L/R
Here you can connect a tape deck, a CD player, an open reel or an additional
SUB-mixer. The signal is post master fader and post STANDBY switch, which
allows playing intermission music during performance breaks or checking the
mix during the rehearsal, using the headphones. You just have to engage the
STANDBY switch to mute all channel signals at the main outputs. The 2TRACK
RETURN signal however will pass unobstructed.
