Dynacord Compact Mixing System User Manual

English

In a world of over-abundance and mass production quality,
functionality and design are still decisive factors. We at
DYNACORD develop and produce best-in-class products
(‘Made in Germany’) that provide only positive experiences
for our users, bringing them many years of pleasure in day­to-day operation.

Continuous, authentic application testing of all products
ensure comprehensive configuration, and precise operation
of every feature.The highest possible performance and
reliability of our products, and the absolute satisfaction of
our customers are our highest precepts.

Until now, the only way to transmit signals in the highest audio
quality between signal sources and power amplifiers was through
the use of professional (and expensive) stand-alone systems. Mixing
consoles, effects devices and signal processors make up todays
typical, all-purpose, professional mixing systems. However, the
challenge of properly configuring and operating such systems is

unrealistic for many, and the complexity and time involved with set up
and cabling is unmanageable for most.

The new CMS 1000 / CMS 1600 / CMS 2200 Compact Mixing
Systems from DYNACORD are conceived as all-in-one solutions,
easily transported and swiftly made ready for use. For the first time,
customers are being offered a unit combining a substantial-in­features, yet superb-in-sound quality mixer with professional quality,
digital studio effects devices, graphic equalizers and a multitude of
other problem-solvers- Ease of operation the basic user will
appreciate, and the responsiveness a discerning professional
demands.

The CMS 1000 / CMS 1600 / CMS 2200 represent the ideal
‘complete solution’ for driving active loudspeaker systems as
well as all possible combinations of power amplifiers and loud­speaker enclosures. Typical applications range from live music
situations to the rental business, high-quality fixed installations
in the catering sector, schools, and professional multi-media installs.

Yes, we made it !

The discrete microphone preamps in the input channels offering
audio quality of the very finest, a 60 dB gain range, and
extremely low levels of noise and THD, set new standards in
professional mixing equipment, whilst phantom power
(switchable in groups of six channels), 3-band semi-parametric
EQs with sweepable mids, 4 Aux Sends, PFL and Mute,
dust-protected ALPS faders, 2 x 7-band graphic EQs, two
feedback filters and four stereo line channels are only a few
of the professional features.

Two independently-controllable, 24/48 bit stereo digital effects
devices offer a total of 198 presets optimized for live use but
delivering studio quality. The room and plate reverb, echo
reverb, chorus reverb, mono / stereo delay and a host of other
special effects are easily selected using the Up/Down keys.
Preferred presets can be stored in programming mode and are
then instantly available the next time you switch the CMS on.
One global (or else two individual) foot switch(es) can be used
to turn the effects devices on and off singly (or collectively).

All 6 / 12 / 18 (respectively) mic inputs of the CMS 1000 / CMS 1600 / CMS 2200 are equipped with
XLR- (Mic) and jack (Line) sockets as well as a common Gain control with a range of 60 dB. This
makes it possible to introduce even line level signals through the XLR Mic inputs.

A channel break allows you to connect additional devices, such as compressors and gates, on a
channel-by-channel basis using the Insert sockets. A switchable Lo Cut filter permits the elimination
of low-frequency noise in the sub-80 Hz region. The 3-band tone controls section comprises a
semi-parametric equalizer with a sweepable Mid, the range of which is 100 Hz to 8 kHz. The Lo
shelving EQ has its 3 dB down point (corner frequency) at 60 Hz, whilst that of the Hi shelving EQ
is 12 kHz, the boost/cut being +/- 15 dB in each case. In all, four aux busses are provided to permit you
to ply the two internal effects devices with signals independently as well as two separately controllable
monitor busses. AUX 1 and AUX 2 control the level of the post-fader signal sent to the two internal
effects devices, FX 1 and FX 2. AUX 3 and AUX 4 are set pre-fader to allow the creation of independent
monitor mixes, but can be switched post-fader, if preferred, for the control of additional effects devices
in the sum.

All channels offer MUTE and PFL switches as well as level control meters with Signal Present and Peak
LEDs. Ultra high-quality ALPS faders control the Volume of the individual channels and are remarkable
for their extremely high attenuation values.

The four Mic / Stereo Line channels offer separate Mic Gain and Line Trim controls instead of the
Lo Cut and Vocal Voicing filter in the mono channels and offer a full dual-channel implementation.
Stereo signals from keyboards and samplers therefore take up no more than one of the available
channel strips each. The mixing of stereo line and microphone signals is also unproblematic.

In the master, all the control elements are laid out clearly in sections, in a configuration based
on practical experience.The Return level of the integrated effects devices (FX 1 and FX 2), the Send
level for AUX 3 and AUX 4, as well as the Stereo Master, are all implemented as faders. The 2 x 7­band graphic equalizer can be switched instantly between the Master and AUX 3 + AUX 4.
Separate AUX 1 and AUX 2 Send controls allow the control of additional effects devices — parallel
to the internal effects or solo.

Systems for neighbouring rooms, side fills or even active sub-woofers can be driven via the separately
controllable Mono Out, which can be switched pre- or post-fader. There is a useful Standby switch for
programme pauses that does not affect the 2-track Return path, allowing material on tape or CD to be
routed to the master or else AUX 3 and AUX 4. All the XLR outputs are electronically balanced and
wired in such a way that operation via relay is not accompanied by clicks and pops.

If there is no need for EQ in the master section for the main system
or room equalization, the integrated 2 x 7-band graphic equalizer
can be looped into the monitor busses at the push of a button,
making it available to AUX 3 and AUX 4 for the provision of an opti­mized foldback mix. LEDs indicate clearly the current selection.

AUX 3 and AUX 4 are equipped with a switchable Anti-Feedback
filter in the master, offering continuous control from 80 Hz to 7.7 kHz.
In the event that less-than-ideal microphone placements or excessive
volume levels provoke feedback, it can be zapped swiftly and with
laser-like precision.

This filter, which can be switched into the signal path of any of the
Mic / Line channels, is designed to rescue particularly ‘thin’ voices
from the main mix. An asymmetric filter structure deliberately
emphasizes the fundamentals in the vocals and lifts them transpa­rently into the foreground through decent shelving. This type of
‘fundamental equalization’ cannot be produced with any standard EQ.

The optionally available RMK-CMS rack-mounting kit permits the
CMS 1000 to be used in the rack. The same kit allows the integration
of either device into the control room table. For secure operation on
particularly dark stages or in dark control rooms, a socket is provided
for the connection of a 12V (up to 5W) gooseneck lamp.

A stable, latching metal lid is provided for the safe transportation of
the device, precluding the need for a flight case, whilst the panel
running the width of the device at the front and the ergonomic side
cheeks allow for easy and unproblematic handling.
