1 Introduction

The PowerMate compact power mixers incorporate pro-
found know-how, based on our research, development
and inter-communication with our customers in the pro-
fessional audio market, for decades. With a PowerMate
you own a power mixer that offers a wide range of func-
tionality in a very compact frame. Forget about the trou-
bling experiences with cabling and matching mixers,
amplifiers, FX units, and equalizers. You now own a de-
vice with optimally matched components. The mixer's er-
gonomic console shape and clearly structured controls
provide perfect overview for instant access at all times.
Also during the transport you will quickly learn to appre-
ciate the PowerMate's superiority: compact dimensions
and low weight, plus the sturdy cover that protects the
controls from being damaged. However, if you would
rather like to install your PowerMate in a 19" rack shelf,
no problem. The only thing you have to do is to replace
the plastic side panels by a pair of metal rack mount
ears.Through its multiple functions, its high dynamic ca-
pacity, and extremely low-noise design in combination
with its 24-bit Dual-Stereo effect unit, DIGITAL AUDIO IN-
TERFACE and the high-performance power amplifier, the
PowerMate is best equipped for universal use.
1.1 Scope of Delivery, Unpacking and
Inspection
• 1 PowerMate
• 1 Owner's Manual (this document)
• 1 Mains Cord (2 meters)
• 1 Warranty Certificate including Safety Instructions
• 1 DVD with USB driver, documentation, software,...
Open the packaging and take out the PowerMate. Re-
move the FX unit display's protective foil. Inspect the
PowerMate's enclosure for damages that might have oc-
cured during transportation. Each PowerMate is exam-
ined and tested in detail before leaving the manufacturing
site to ensure that it arrives in perfect condition at your
place. Please inform the transport company immediately
if the PowerMate shows any damage. Being the address-
ee, you are the only person who can claim damages in
transit. Keep the cardboard box and all packaging mate-
rials for inspection by the transport company. Keeping
the cardboard box including all packing materials is also
recommended, if the PowerMate shows no external dam-
ages.
CAUTION: Do not ship the PowerMate in any other
than its original packaging.
Packing the PowerMate like it was packed by the manu-
facturer guarantees optimum protection from transport
damage.

1.3 Installation and Connections

Do not cover the ventilation louvers in the bottom plate
of the appliance. Always place the PowerMate on an even
surface to allow for sufficient airflow during the opera-
tion. The device is equipped with electronically control-
led ventilators to protect the power amplifier against
thermal overload. The direction of the airflow is front-to-
rear. Fresh, cold air enters the mixer at its lower front
side and warm air leaves the device through the ventila-
tion louvers in the rear panel. Do not cover the frontal or
the rear ventilation louvers. Otherwise the PowerMate
automatically reduces the output power or enters protect
mode to prevent thermal overload. While the protect
mode prevents that the device is being damaged, regular
operation is impossible during the period of time it is ac-
tivated. In case the PowerMate is installed in a 19" rack
system (vertically), you have to allow at least 2 HU of free
space above and 1 HU below the mixer. Of course you can
cover the empty space with special blind plates that also
have ventilation louvers.
Before establishing the mains supply connection, please
make sure that the device matches the voltage and fre-
quency of your local mains supply. Check the label next
to the mains switch.
For a secure connection the SPEAKER OUTPUTS on the
rear panel of the PowerMate are provided through profes-
sional standard high-performance Speakon connectors.
The pin assignment of these sockets is 1+ (hot) and 1-
(cold).
HINT: Using original Neutrik connectors (e.g. NL4FC)
is recommended for optimal audio quality.
