Dynacord PowerMate 600 User manual

PowerMate 1000
_____________
The PowerMate 1000 is already a classic among power mixers. One
year after being introduced to the market, the GDM (Gesamtverband
Deutscher Musikalienhändler) named it the 1999 Product of the Year.
The PowerMate 1000 has also received numerous other awards.
With many features, effects of outstanding quality and 2 x 500 watts
output capacity, the PowerMate 1000 is the ideal choice for a wide
range of applications, from the one-man-band keyboarder through
small ensembles to permanent installations.
With amazing sound, flexibility, and compactness, the PowerMate
1000 is the perfect plug-and-play solution.
The features and performance of the PowerMate mixers are
unique, offering more power, more effects, and more extras.
Compared to conventional power mixers, the Power Mates offer
substantially higher output power and dynamic reserve. The power
amps employ dynamic limiters and additional protection and
processor functions. Dynacord’s patented LPN filters eliminate
faults in the transient response of typical PA speaker systems.
Extremely fast audio processors constantly monitor the internal
operational status.
All PowerMate models furnish two separately operating digital
effect units with 32-bit algorithm processing. They provide high-
quality sound and performance comparable to high-end studio
effect equipment.
The following effects are right at your fingertips: room, plate, echo
reverb, chorus reverb, mono/stereo delays, modulated delay
effects like chorus and flanging, and many other exciting effects.
The 2 x 99 presets are conveniently activated using the
Up/Down keys.
The Mic/Line channels provide extensive features including a
huge number of useful extras:
• Phantom Power
• Inserts, Gain Control
• Signal Present/Peak LEDs
• 3-Fold Tone Control
with parametric mids control
• AUX Busses 1, 2, and 3
• Prefade-Listen
Another unique specialty of the MIC/Line channels is the Vocal
Voicing Filter. This switchable 80 Hz Lo-Cut filter attenuates the
very low frequencies that can interfere with sonic clarity.
The Mic/Stereo Line channels offer some different features:
individual gain controls for Mic and Line signals instead of Lo-Cut
and Vocal Voicing Switches, 3-fold tone control, and balance
control instead of PAN controls.
The AUX 3 monitor bus incorporates a switchable anti-feedback
filter with sweepable center frequency from 80 Hz to 7.7 kHz.
The master section of the PowerMates includes a wide selection
of useful features:
• Effect Returns
• AUX 3 Send via Fader
• Additional Mono Master
• 2 x 7-Band Equalizer
• 2 x 10 LED Master-Display
• Stereo Return
• 2-Track Return Standby Switch
To ensure quick and easy operation even with dimmed ambient
lights, an optional (12V/2.4W) XLR-
gooseneck Litlite can be fitted onto
every PowerMate.
Each PowerMate ships with a rigid
metal protective cover.
Recessed carrying handles on both
sides permit easy and comfortable
handling.

PowerMate 600
__________
The PowerMate 600 carries on the tradition of power
mixers begun by DYNACORD about 50 years ago.The
concept of integrating a mixer, power amplifier, and FX
unit into a single, compact enclosure without
compromising the performance of each individual part
reaches a new peak in the PowerMate 600.
Never before has such compact size included such
power, features, and sound for such a low price.
Despite the PowerMate 600's extremely small size, it
delivers 2 x 300 watts into 4 ohms, offering immense
dynamic reserve at very low distortion.

PowerMate 2200
___________
Ideally suited to bigger sound reinforcement
applications, the PowerMate 2200 offers more power
and 22 channels; enough to meet more demanding
requirements while still relying on the operational
comfort and sound of the PowerMate Series.
Beside 18 microphone channels and 4 stereo
inputs, the 2200's compact mixer frame also
houses two digital multi-FX units, a stereo
equalizer, and a LitLight connector. A transportation
cover is included. Up to 22 mics can be connected
through the four stereo channels, which also accept
mic level sources.
The newly-designed integrated power amp, which
includes the protection and limiter circuitry for which
the PowerMate Series is famous, provides an
output power capacity of 2 x 700 watts.
The user who needs more than the PowerMate
1000's 10 channels should take a closer look at the
PowerMate 1600. While offering 16 channels in the
mixer section, where each of the four stereo
channels are designed for the connection of
microphones, its entire master section—including
the integrated FX unit, the 2 x 500 watts power amp,
the LPN filters and all the embodied protection
circuitry—is identical to the PowerMate 1000.
