Dynacord PowerMate 600 User Manual
MASTER
The frequency ranges as well as the characteristics of the
EQ-faders are designed very praxis-oriented. In case you
intend to have a clear and highly intelligible sound, which,
as a side effect, provides the cymbals with more crisp, you
should increase the level setting of the 6 kHz or 12 kHz
band a bit. If the MIDs are nasaling, try attenuating the mid
range by some decibels. If you like to provide your sound
with more bass and the kick drum with more punch, you
have to boost the low frequency range, using the 63 Hz or
the 125 Hz controls. On the opposite, if the overall sound
is undefi ned with too much bass, lowering the levels of the-
se two frequency bands will solve the problem.

Especially when using the equalizer, you should be aware
of the fact that in most cases less adjustment provides the
better result. Thus, your fi rst choice should be to establish
the mix without involving the graphic EQ, using only the
tone controls in the input channels and see if you get a
satisfactory result.

40. MASTER LED-DISPLAY
The PowerMate offers two 8-segment LED-chains to mo-
nitor the output levels of the L/R master signals. The LED-
meter’s indication range is 33dB, displaying the levels in
dBu which are present at the MAIN OUTPUT respectively
at the POWER AMP INPUT. In other words: the meter’s
0dB mark is referenced to an output signal of 0dBu at the
POWER AMP INPUT. Further increasing this level, the
power amplifi er’s maximum input level is reached at the
+6dB mark, which equals an output power of 300 watts at
4 ohms per channel. Higher levels are not displayed, sin-
ce the power amplifi er’s processor limits the signal at this
point which is indicated by the lighting of the LIMIT LED in
the status indicator section.

NOTE: Please, make sure that the corresponding input
channel faders or at least the master faders are set to
their minimal position or the STANDBY switch is en-
gaged, before connecting an external signal source to
one of the inputs of the PowerMate. This will save you,
your audience, and the equipment from unnecessary
stress resulting from switching or feedback noise.
