3. Maximum amount of speakers in a passive conguration:
The PowerMate allows the maximal connection of three loudspeaker cabinets with an impedance of 8 ohms per
power amp output channel. In other words: the internal power amplier is capable of driving a maximum of six 8
ohms speaker systems. The following diagram shows an example of how to set up your PowerMate for operation
with the maximum amount of speakers connected.
4. Active 2-way stereo conguration:
This example uses the internal power amplier of the PowerMate to drive the Hi/Mid cabinets. The full-range
signal is fed via MAIN OUTPUTS or EQ OUTPUTS to an active crossover. The Lo-signal outputs of the x-over are
connected to an external power amplier, driving the woofer cabinets. The signal of the x-over’s Hi-signal outputs
is fed back to the PowerMate’s internal power amplier via POWER AMP INPUTS. Compared to the passive
conguration, the overall sound gains transparency and higher sound pressure levels are possible, since the Hi/
Mid cabinets do not have to deal with the low frequency signals.
MASTER PATCHBAY AND DIFFERENT SETUP ALTERNATIVES
Usual power mixer applications do not include a monitor amps rack. Thus, active monitor systems, like the
DYNACORD AM12 for example represent a convenient alternative.
