MASTER
55. 2TRACK to MASTER
This control is used to mix the 2TRACK signal to the main mix; post fader of the
master controls. Caution: When adjusting the level of the device that is connected
to the 2TRACK RETURNS – CD player, tape deck, etc. – always begin with the
2TRACK to MASTER control set at its minimum setting. Otherwise, depending on the
output quality of the connected sound source, the outputted level can instantly “hit
the top”.
56. 2TRACK to AUX 3/4
The signal coming from the 2TRACK RETURNS is internally summed and can be
added to the monitor bus using the 2TRACK to AUX3/4 control.
57. MAIN INSERTS
Stereo phone jacks for left and right channels with breaker function. The low
impedance output is assigned to the tip (send) and the high impedance input (return)
is assigned to the ring of the connector. This jack allows incorporating external third
octave band or octave band EQs, compressors, limiters, de-noisers, etc. into the
master’s signal path. The insertion point is pre master faders. As well as with the
inserts of the monaural input channels, different DIRECT OUT functions can be
accomplished. Please, also refer to the corresponding section in the description of
the MONO INPUTS.
58. MAIN OUTPUTS
The signals at the MAIN OUTPUTS are post master fader and mainly meant to
feed additional, external power ampliers. Through these outputs it is also possible
to establish two-way active system set-ups. In this case the active crossovers
– respectively the active subwoofers – have to be connected to the MAIN OUTPUTS.
If you want to use the internal power amplier to drive the high frequency cabinets,
the treble signal coming from the crossover has to be fed back into the PowerMate
via the Power Amp In connectors.
59. EQ INPUTS / OUTPUTS
The EQ INPUTS are provided through electronically balanced phone jacks with
breaker function. Inserting a phone plug interrupts the signal path between master
and internal power amplier. You can then operate the internal power amps via EQ
INPUTS. The signals at the EQ OUTPUTS are post master fader and post internal
7-band equalizer and can be used like the MAIN OUTPUTS for connecting external
power amps.
60. POWER AMP INPUTS
The POWER AMP INPUTS are also provided via electronically balanced phone
jacks with breaker function. When inserting a phone plug, the signal path gets split
up between the master and the internal power amplier, which allows operating the
internal power amps via POWER AMP INPUTS. For detailed information on the
functioning and the operation of the “MASTER PATCHBAY”, consisting of MAIN
INSERTS, MAIN OUTPUTS, EQ IN- and OUTPUTS, and POWER AMP INPUTS,
please refer to the corresponding section; later in this owner’s manual.
