6 Master Patchbay and different setup
alternatives
The patch field within the master section is referred to as MASTER PATCHBAY. The mixer’s Line output levels are to be
found here. To provide you with a wide range of connection possibilities, the MASTER A/B OUT L/R, MONITOR, POWER
AMP INPUTS and the AUX SEND can be independently connected with each other or routed to external devices. In the
basic configuration – when no plugs are inserted into any of the POWER AMP INPUT connectors – signals are patched
internally and fed to the internal power amplifier. Once you connect a plug to the 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.
6.1 Maximum amount of passive speakers
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 amplifier 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.
Usual power mixer applications do not include a monitor amps rack. Thus, active monitor systems, like the DYNACORD
AM 12 for example represent a convenient alternative.
