Setting Description
High The LPN flter is activated, this setting is recommended for
small to medium sized loudspeakers, e.g. fullrange speakers
with 12", 8" or smaller woofers.
Medium The LPN flter is activated, this setting is recommended for
medium to large loudspeakers, e.g. fullrange speakers with
15" or 18" woofers.
Flat The LPN filter is deactivated. Use this setting for large loud-
speaker systems with more than one subwoofer.

PEAKER ROTECTION
This dialog is used to match the maximum continous out-
put power of the integrated power amplifiers to the con-
nected loudspeakers. By limiting the maximum output
power damaging the speakers by thermal overload can be
avoided, while the full dynamic of the amplifier is main-
tained. Please check the type plate or the technical doc-
umentation of your speakers for their rated power. When
using external power amplifiers or active speakers the
setting in this dialog has of course no affect.
HINT: If different types of passive loudspeakers are
connected in parallel you should set the ampli-
fier power to the power rating (see type plate
of speaker) of the lowest rated speaker in this
dialog.
HINT: Check the setting in the Speaker Protection dia-
log if the performance of your PowerMate sys-
tem is not as expected.
When opening the Speaker Protection dialog the current-
ly activated setting is highlighted. The factory setting is
„Power Control off", this means the output power is not
artificially limited.

Turn the MENU/ENTER rotary encoder to select the RMS
power rating of the connected loudspeaker. Each row
shows the output power for 8 Ohm speakers on the left
hand side, this value is also shown in the display in effect
mode. Additionally each row shows the corresponding

deactivate Speaker Protection select the entry „Power

key returns to the menu. Pressing the ESC function key
discards all changes and returns to effect mode.
Disclaimer:
The Speaker Protection system is designed for profes-
sional loudspeakers, e.g. speakers from DYNACORD.
The power rating given in the specifications of many
non-professional speaker
unbranded producers, are often stated as being much
higher than the loudspeaker will actually withstand.
The actual impedance of the speaker is often much
lower than the nominal impedance stated in the
specifications. In both cases, the use of incorrect or
misleading specifications may result in thermal over-
load to the voice coil of lower quality speakers, even
if the Speaker Protection was set to the given
specification. DYNACORD is not and will not be res-
ponsible for any damage to loudspeakers, even if the
Speaker Protection was activated.
