In our multimedia world, professional audio systems are
playing an ever more important role. For this, power amplifiers
are needed the characteristics and properties of which are
tailored precisely to the application in question.
The spectrum of these requirements—from live music to fixed
installation—has an extremely wide bandwidth and extends from
very high power output combined with minimum weight to remote
supervision and network capability. DYNACORD’s extensive power
amplifier portfolio offers an ideal and cost-effective solution for
every field of application.

German Engineering Excellence
FOR MORE THAN 60 YEARS, DYNACORD HAS BEEN ONE OF
THE MOST INNOVATIVE AND SUCCESSFUL MANUFACTURERS
OF PROFESSIONAL AUDIO EQUIPMENT.

In 1945 Werner Pinternagel,
who was an engineer, founded a
workshop for the repair of radio
devices in the Lower Bavarian
town of Pilsting. The development
and manufacture of audio amplifiers,
which he began at the same time,
became a particular passion.
These pioneering experiences
formed the foundation for over 60
years of expertise in professional
power amplifier technology—
expertise upon which the brand
DYNACORD is able to draw today.
Early results included the KI cinema
amplifier with its output of 25 watts.
The devices of the company, which
in the meantime had moved to
Landau and by then boasted a
staff of four employees, still bore
the brand name ‘Dynaphon’.
From 1948 onwards, mixing and
portable amplifiers bearing the
name DYNACORD were being
sold to an ever expanding circle
of customers. Within a few years,
the rapidly growing company had
become one of the leading enter-
prises in the still young audio
technology industry. Already in
1954, the manual workshop have
given way to industrial production
as the product portfolio continued to
expand. The high-caliber, pioneering
and often visionary products have
been presented ever since at all
important international trade fairs
and marketed successfully throughout
the world. To make it possible to
satisfy the enormous demand,
DYNACORD moved to Straubing in
1958. The workforce, which at that
time numbered 80 employees, con-
tinued to expand rapidly. Several
times, the production facility was
renovated or expanded.
Finally, in 1986 a new plant was
opened in which more than 500
employees now develop, produce
and dispatch the company’s pro-
ducts to all corners of the globe.

With the introduction of the Bosch Production System
(BPS) at the Straubing works, the brand DYNACORD is
further enhancing its already legendary reputation for
the highest production quality and reliability.
Quality with system is assured by the BPS worldwide in
all Bosch production centres, since absolutely identical
indicators, equipment and processes are applied
systematically throughout the enterprise. Decisions
about which products to produce in which plant are
primarily based on core areas of competence.
The same goes for the development. The first measures to
guarantee quality are applied as early as the deve-
lopment phase of a product, where the ‘thermal and
mechanical stability’, the ‘secure functioning of the
circuitry’ and the demands of quality such as the
acoustic performance and the product functions
themselves are all ascertained in advance and rigorous
tests conducted before any final decisions are taken
about the design.
Decades of experience and the most modern quality
management systems guarantee the extraordinary quality
and legendary reliability of DYNACORD products.
