User manual DYNACORD POWERMATE 1000

[. . . ] The Wheelie Bin symbol found on the product or in the manual indicates that this product must not be disposed of with other waste. It is in our category the manufacturer's responsibility to properly dispose of their waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) at the end of its life. Due to the differences in each EU country's management of WEEE, please contact your local distributor. We are committed to facilitate our own electronic-waste-management-system, for the free of charge return of all EVI Audio GmbH products: Telex, Dynacord, Electro-Voice, Midas Consoles, KlarkTeknik and RTS. [. . . ] The display screen is covered with a protective foil to prevent it from being damaged during shipment. Keeping a button pressed continuously lets you step quickly through the program numbers. Experience has revealed that the effect level in the monitor mix has to be lower than the level in the main mix, since the distance between monitor speakers and artists is much shorter. FX ON This switch switches an internal FX unit on and the green LED lights. Please keep in mind that you can also use an external footswitch for the switching of the FX unit. In this case, the LED also shows the actual operational status of the FX unit. If you want to use a footswitch, the FX ON switch has to be engaged first. The corresponding FX unit is activated and you can use the footswitch to switch the selected effect program on or off. The phones output volume is independent of the corresponding channel fader's setting (PRE FADER LISTEN), which provides the possibility to listen to the sound of the selected audio signal, without including it in the main mix. Establish a "dry" mix ­ without effect settings ­ according to the previous descriptions. Play (start the reproduction of) the sound source connected to the desired input channel and adjust the desired amount of the FX signal, using the AUX/FX controls of this input channel. Repeat this step for all input channels that you want to include in your effect mix. Use the FX return faders to add the desired amount of the FX signal to the main mix. In case you are using a different effect setting for the second FX unit, you have to repeat steps 2 - 8, respectively. Pay some attention to the peak indicators when operating your PowerMate to be able to quickly interact when the signal levels exceed the normal range and enter clipping. In case you have to set these faders at a position above the +5dB mark, please check if the FX unit's input signals are adjusted properly. AUX3/4 SEND This output provides connection for an external FX unit or, when used for monitoring, a power amplifier or active stage monitor speaker systems. Using the AUX3/4 fader allows setting the output level in a wide range up to +20dBu. The AUX3/4 SEND is designed in Ground Sensing technology to prevent the induction of external noise, even with long cables. Use balanced cables for the connection of external components whenever it is possible. AUX3/4 POST As already previously described, this switch allows determining whether Pre- or Post-Fader signals are present at the AUX3/4 channel. The corresponding yellow LED signals when the switch is engaged and all input channel AUX3/4 controls are assigned post fader. [. . . ] In the basic configuration ­ when no plugs are inserted into any of the MASTER INPUT connectors ­ signals are patched internally and fed to the internal power amplifier. Once you connect a plug to the INSERTS, EQ INPUTS, or 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 typical examples of how to use the MASTER PATCHBAY. Connection of 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. [. . . ]
