[. . . ] Arrangements are made with the dealer where you purchased the equipment from, for the returning of all unusable equipment at no cost, to the factory in Straubing, for environmental protective disposal. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated , , dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. install in accordance with the manufacture's instructions. Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] to assign new start programs , please proceed as follows: 1. Hold down the two DOWN buttons of FX1 and FX2 simultaneously while switching on the PowerMate. Release the two DOWN buttons and select the desired start programs. Press the two UP buttons to store the displayed effect numbers as your new start programs. The FX unit acknowledges the save procedure by briefly indicating "Prog" on the display. AUX1/2 SEND The audio signal of the mix that you have established for the corresponding AUX/ FX bus ­ the identical mix that is fed to the internal FX1/2 units ­ is present at this socket, which makes it perfect for connecting external FX units, for example. Setting the level is possible by means of the corresponding AUX/FX SEND control. The external devices' output signals can be sent back to the PowerMate via stereo channel input. The AUX1/2 sends are designed in Ground Sensing technology to prevent the induction of external noise, even with long cables. DISPLAY The display always indicates the actually selected program number of the corresponding FX unit. The display screen is covered with a protective foil to prevent it from being damaged during shipment. Several circumstances and conditions have an influence on how sensitive or insensitive your system is for acoustical feedback. The following notes are meant to assist you in avoiding feedback and you should take them into consideration even before you activate the feedback filter: 1. Do not position the main speaker systems behind the microphones. Switch off all microphones that are not in use. Consider the microphones' different polar patterns and characteristics, when placing the monitor speakers. Do not turn up the monitor system's volume higher than actually necessary. Try to avoid extensive equalization on channels that you want to include in your monitor mix. Keep in mind, that a microphone "behaves" different when somebody stands right in front of it. If you still have the feeling that the monitor system's acoustic output is not sufficient, after considering the above mentioned precautions, you can use the FEEDBACK filter to mute the frequency that tends to generate feedback the most. Therefore, you have to perform the following steps: Increase the AUX3/4 (monitor) level until the limit is reached where feedback starts. The slightly "hovering" sound that you hear is generated by the system itself. [. . . ] If possible, you should check the "sound in the house" during the performance and ­ if necessary ­ adjust it to the changed conditions. And for the rest, we like to wish you lots of fun and success with your new PowerMate mixer. The patch field within the master section is referred to as MASTER PATCHBAY The mixer's Line output levels, return and insert connections are to be found here. To provide you with a wide range of connection possibilities, the MASTER INSERTS, MAIN OUTPUTS, EQ INPUTS and EQ OUTPUTS, POWER AMP INPUTS, and the AUX SENDS and AUX RETURNS can be independently connected with each other or routed to external devices.
