PoweRack Series  V.1 V.1i  

PowerPatch and AC Mains & Signals Patch are dedicated rack integration tools designed for professional amplifier system distribution and management in complex audio installations. They provide a structured and reliable solution for power distribution, loudspeaker connectivity, signal routing, and network linking within amplifier rack environments.

The PowerPatch system is specifically engineered to ensure efficient and organized loudspeaker output distribution, supporting up to 16 output channels. It is organized into four sections (A, B, C, and D), each equipped with both NL8 and NL4 SpeakON output connectors. Each section provides an NL8 connector associated with a pair of NL4 outputs, enabling flexible routing configurations for multi-channel amplification systems.

This architecture allows each section to drive up to four channels, supporting applications such as two-way full-range systems or dual bi-wired subwoofer configurations. For simpler setups, such as two-way passive systems or single subwoofer operation using Pins 1+/1-, an optional output patch enables the internal splitting of each NL8 connector into four NL4 SpeakON outputs, further increasing system flexibility.

The AC Mains & Signals Patch module is designed to manage power distribution to amplifier racks while also providing the capability to externally link the earth connection between systems, ensuring consistent grounding across multiple rack units. A dedicated AC output link also allows power to be daisy-chained to adjacent racks, simplifying large-scale system deployment.

In addition to power distribution, the unit integrates a comprehensive signal management section. The signal input and link architecture supports both analog and digital audio formats, including Analog 1–2 and AES Digital 1–2 / 3–4 signal paths. Each input signal can be routed to corresponding outputs, enabling parallel system operation and multi-unit signal distribution.

The networking section provides Ethernet-based input and link connectivity, allowing remote system management and interconnection between multiple amplifier racks, supporting up to four linked units in a single system network configuration.

Together, PowerPatch and AC Mains & Signals Patch provide a complete infrastructure solution for professional amplifier rack integration, ensuring efficient power handling, flexible signal distribution, and reliable network connectivity in complex installed or touring audio systems.
