ADDED VALUE?
A higher VALUE for less money!
The PowerMate 1000 and the PowerMate 1600 incorporate advanced technology,
leading the way in the 21st Century by offering more power, more effects,
and more extras. Providing 6 (12) Mic/Line channels and 4 Mic/Stereo Line
inputs, the PowerMate 1000 (1600) stay ahead of the increasing demand
for more inputs. The two separate, built-in 18 bit stereo FX sections
with 99 presets each, provide extraordinary studio-quality sound. Despite
their high output power capacity and their extensive range of features,
the PowerMate mixers' dimensions are very compact and their weight
of 20 kg (respectively 24 kg) makes them easy to transport. Their price-performance-ratio
is simply unbelievable, since their added value comes sensationally low
priced.
MORE POWER?
The two PowerMates provide 2 x 500 W at 4 ohms, offering, in
comparison to conventional power mixers, decisive higher output power
and dynamic potential combined with outstanding low distortion and intermodulation.
The power amplifiers derived from Linear Precision Technology, featuring
additional protection and processor functions. Special-pole zero compensators
- the patented DYNACORD LPN-Filter - eliminate faults in the transient
response of typical PA-speaker systems, providing unmatched impact and
punch in the low frequency range. The power amplifiers' internal
operation condition is monitored by extremely fast operating audio processors,
that activate the limiter circuits on the occurence of non-linear conditions.
Additional protection circuitry prevents the amplifiers from being damaged
by short-circuit and thermal overload and against the occurence of DC
voltages in the output signal, guaranteeing operational stability and
reliability. Speaker connections - up to three speaker systems with 8
ohms per channel are possible - are carried out through modern Speakon
connectors.
MORE EFFECTS?
The PowerMate 1000 and the PowerMate 1600 are equipped with
two separately operating 18 bit Stereo Digital Effect Processor units,
providing the sound quality and performance of High-End studio equipment.
This has been established through revolutionary, newly developed, and
highly sophisticated algorithms, including - amongst others - the following
effects: Room, Plate, Echo Reverb, Chorus Reverb, Monaural/Stereo Delay,
as well as modulated delay effects such as Chorus and Flanger. the 2 x
99 presets are conveniently selected through Up/Down keys, while the momentary
selection appears on the display. The effect return signal is merged with
the master mix via faders. The FX-signal can also be routed to the AUX-3-Monitor
mix, providing the artist on stage with an optimal mix. If necessary,
it is possible to switch off the effect signal via buttons with accompanying
LED indicators or foot switches (Optional accessory FS 11). Through their
outstanding sound quality and their convenient handling under LIVE conditions,
the effect units of the PowerMate mixers represent a long awaited feature.
MORE EXTRAS?
The MIC/LINE CHANNELS are best equipped, offering a multitude
of additional features. When used with phantom powered condenser microphones,
phantom power is switched on centralised. External signal processing equipment
can be linked through the inserts. The input audio levels get optimally
adjusted via gain controls and two signal present/peak LEDs next to the
corresponding fader allow easy checking. The 3-band tone control section
consists of semi-parametric ±15 dB mid-band filter with variable
center-frequency between 100 Hz and 8 kHz, a Lo-shelving filter with ±15
dB at 12 kHz. In addition, a switchable LO-CUT FILTER at 80 Hz provides
the possibility to cut off unwanted subsonic parts of the audio signal.
Level adjustment of the internal effect devices is taken care of by the
post fader AUX 1 and AUX 2 volume controls. The AUX 3 bus is pre fader.
It is meant mainly for the monitor mix but can also be used to feed for
instance an external FX-unit. Therefore it can be switched to post fader
operation. PAN controls and PFL keys are as well supported as another
special feature of the PowerMate mixers: the vocal voicing filter.
•VOCAL VOICING FILTER
With its special asymmetrical structure, this filter enhances
the fundamental frequencies of the human voice, so that it is clearly
audible and intelligible above the rest of the mix. This shaping method
solves all problems especially with “thin” voices to a degree,
that cannot be achieved or imitated by conventional equipment.
The features of the MIC/STEREO LINE channels differ from the Mic/Line
channels through their separate gain controls for Mic and Line levels
instead of the Lo-cut filter and vocal voicing filter switches. They are
also equipped with a 3-band tone control and balance controls instead
of the PAN controls.
•FEEDBACK FILTER
The AUX 3 monitor bus incorporates a switchable anti-feedback
filter with variable center frequencies between 80 Hz and 7.7 kHz. This
filter lets you conveniently and precisely eliminate the often heard feedback
noise, that arises between the microphone and the stage monitor speaker
signals.
•MASTER SECTION
The PowerMates' master section also incorporates a wide
selection of useful features. Effect returns, AUX 3 send, stereo master,
and monaural master are provided on fader controls. The 2 x 7-band equalizer
allows the user to match the PowerMate mixers sound to acoustical characteristics
of the environment.The 2 x 10 LED master display provides easy level metering.
Via the additional stereo return bus it is possible to integrate the signal
of an external sub-mixer into the main mix. The 2-Track return bus allows
the user to separately include the signal of a tape recorder into the
main and the monitor mixes, without the need to waste an input. The provided
standby switch and the headphone volume control conclude the list of useful
details.
•STAGELIGHT
An optionally available XLR-gooseneck stagelight (12V/2.4W)
can be fitted onto the PowerMates to ensure easy and quick operation even
with dimmed ambient lights.
•RECESSED HANDLES
Additional ease and handling comfort is gained through the recessed,
ergonomically shaped carrying handles on both sides.
