History

PowerMate 2

Innovation as Tradition

PowerMate

DYNACORD can draw upon a 65-year tradition in the development and manufacture of mobile mixing amplifiers.

Its ﬁrst innovatory step was the integration of signal mixing and power ampliﬁcation with compact, portable devices; this was soon followed by models that brought echo and reverberation on board. DYNACORD can therefore be considered the ‘inventor’ of the power mixer. To this day, nothing in the fundamental concept has changed, though, of course, ever since the PowerMate was ﬁrst introduced, all the functional units have conformed to the highest professional standards. Never has there been the faintest suspicion of a compromise-based ‘cheap solution’. Quite the reverse, in fact.

MORE POWER • MORE EFFECTS • MORE EXTRAS was the

watchword of the developers of the ‘original’ PowerMate, and their exemplary realization of these aims set a new standard in mixing desks with integrated effects units and power amplifiers. In the PowerMate, the professional user has a mixing desk, multi-effects unit and power amplifier that is capable of delivering concert sound performance, that is compact and portable but nonetheless a very powerful system solution, and that as a small-PA leaves nothing to be desired.

The same spirit of innovation has dominated the further development of what was already an exquisite piece of technology and finds expression in a wealth of technical details, in its user-friendliness, its reliability and safety of operation, its eﬃcient energy management and its superb styling. The perfection of every component refl ects the passion of the developers.

PERFECTION. PASSION. POWERMATE.

• 2 stereo LINE channels

owerMate 600-3

MIC / LINE

The MIC / LINE channels offer extremely low-noise and low-hum electronically balanced XLR microphone inputs with an extremely low distortion factor (typ. <

0.002%) for the connection of low-impedance microphones.

For condenser microphones, phantom power (+48 volts) is centrally switchable. The LINE inputs are also electronically balanced and implemented as jack sockets. In addition to a GAIN control, a highly efficient 3-band equalizer, an FX send, an AUX send and a MONitor send as well as either Panorama or Balance controls are available. The four MIC / LINE channels boast, in addition, a switchable 80Hz Lo-Cut filter, whilst the Super Channels 5-6 and 7-8 are supplied by the USB inserts 1-2 and 3-4, in each case in stereo.

STEREO-LINE

The STEREO-LINE channels (9-10 and 11-12) offer electronically balanced jack inputs for the connection of electronic instruments such as keyboards, drumcomputers, guitars and basses with active electronics, as well as all other high-level stereo signal sources such as additional mixers, effects devices etc.

CD or MP3 players can be connected to the additional cinch (RCA) inputs CD 1-2 and CD 3-4, which are switched in parallel. The tone controls and sends are identical to those of the MIC / LINE channels.

In all input channels, a Signal / Peak LED is provided to assist level control. The SIG LED illuminates at around 30 dB and the PK LED at 6dB beneath the distortion threshold. A MUTE button and a PFL button (in channels 5-12 in stereo) are further features found in all input channels.

PowerMate 600-3

owerMate 600-3

DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE

The DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE supplies two stereo channels, present as USB 1-2 and USB 3-4 in Super Channels 5 -6 and 7-8 respectively.

This interface is implemented professionally in 24-bit resolution and supports sampling rates up to 96 kHz, thereby satisfying studio requirements. The USB sends are supplied with the Master L and R, AUX and MON signals. The DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE can be used for input and output simultaneously.

Via the USB 2.0 port of your PC / Mac, four channels can be transmitted simultaneously in each direction. When a USB 1.1 interface is used, two channels can be transmitted simultaneously in each direction. The PowerMate is designed for the level of standard PCs / Macs; the gain level can easily be adjusted, if need be, from the computer connected.

Included in the delivery is a DVD containing the professional recording software Cubase LE and PC / Mac USB drivers.

PC-MIDI-INTERFACE

The PowerMate also makes available a fully-featured PC MIDI interface.

The MIDI input also supports the remote switching of both internal effects units using a master keyboard or MIDI footswitch.

MASTER-SECTION

In the PowerMate‘s Master Section are to be found the Master A L+R sends (on separate faders), an additional Master B send (switchable pre/post and mono/stereo), the stereo eﬀects returns, and the send signals of the AUXiliar y and MONitor busses. If the AUX buss is not used to supply FX 2, it can be switched pre or post and thereby used as an additional monitor send or to supply an external effects device.

The 9-band stereo equalizer in the master section allows you to adjust the frequency response to the acoustics of the room.

The REC SEND and USB OUT controls determine the level of the master L+R signal at the Rec Send sockets and in the output channels of the digital USB interface. The control below it allows you to adjust the volume in the headphones. Two ten-LED meters provide an overview of the power amplifier level. When the PFL switch is activated, the left-hand LED chain shows the internal level of the master buss in dBu.

STANDBY

The STANDBY switch mutes all outputs. For the playback of things like interval music, the DEVICE SETUP menu allows you to route stereo channel 11-12 for standby operation directly to the power amplifiers.

PowerMate 600-3

THE POWERMATE IS EQUIPPED WITH TWO VERY HIGH-QUALITY, 24-BIT STEREO EFFECTS PROCESSORS, FX 1 AND FX 2

owerMate 600-3

These function independently and can therefore be mixed. The two effects units are fully identical in design. Each effects section offers 100 presets including high-quality reverb, delay and modulation effects selected by means of the display.

When a delay eﬀect is active, the delay time can be synchronized to the beat of the music using the TAP key. The further possibility exists of modifying individual parameters of the presets and storing the results in the 20 each user memories provided.

Both eﬀects units are supplied by the FX Send buss. Using the DEVICE SETUP menu, you can, if you wish, conﬁgure the AUX send buss to function as an FX 2 send, so that only the FX 1 eﬀects unit is supplied by the FX 1 buss. In this way, the two eﬀects devices can be controlled independently of one another.

The eﬀects can be mixed separately in the master and monitor busses.

The large, high-contrast OLED display is easily read from a wide range of viewing angles—even in very bright surroundings. The operation of the eﬀects units and

processing menus is intuitive and made easier

still through the use of soft keys and a rotary

encoder.

DEVICE SETUP LPN-PROCESSING SPEAKER PROTECTION

PROCESSING-MENUS

Particularly valuable in making it possible to adjust the PowerMate perfectly to the selected loudspeaker cabinets, thereby optimizing the audio performance and maximizing the operating safety and reliability of the system, are the LPN Processing and Speaker Protection menus.

LPN-PROCESSING

Typical small to medium-sized loudspeaker cabinets, for physical reasons that have nothing to do with their make or quality, exhibit distortion in the transient response of the woofer. Since neither graphic nor parametric equalizers can do anything to alleviate this problem, the PowerMate oﬀers a conﬁgurable LPN (low-pass notch) filter. Depending upon the size of the loudspeaker cabinet being used and also to adjust to problematic acoustics (such as those of bassy,

boom-ridden rooms), the LPN filter can be set to either High or Medium. The result is considerably greater punch (e.g. from the bass drum), an extension downwards of the frequency response, and improved transparency in the bass and midrange.

SPEAKER PROTECTION

This menu allows you to match perfectly the continuous power output of the PowerMate’s power amplifiers to the connected loudspeakers in the interests of greater operational safety and reliability.

power handling of the connected loudspeaker cabinet can be selected from the menu. Unlike the case with conventional voltage limiters, dynamic peaks of short duration are permitted, as loudspeaker cabinets can as a rule tolerate peak levels many times higher than their nominal sustainable loads (RM S).

The speaker protection supervises permanently the amount of energy being fed to the loudspeakers, only limiting it in the event of a threatened overload, and even then, doing so softly and inaudibly. For peak levels of short duration, the full output of the power amplifier remains available at all times, even when relatively small cabinets are being used. As a result, not only is the maximum dynamic range of the system maintained but also, and at all times, the highest degree of operational safety and reliability.

PowerMate 600-3

owerMate 600-3

PROFESSIONAL DIGITAL HIGHPERFORMANCE POWER AMPLIFIER

The PowerMate is equipped with a professional, extremely powerful, stereo power amplifier that uses modern and highly efficient class-D technology for audio performance of the highest quality.

What this means is that at a nominal output of 2 x 1,000 watts RMS into 4 ohms (or 2 x 1,350 watts RMS into 2.7 ohms) only a comparatively small amount of heat is generated within the device, which therefore consumes considerably less electricity than a conventional power amplifier. The minimal load impedance at the output is 2.7 ohms, making operation with up to three 8-ohm loudspeaker cabinets per channel, connected in parallel, possible with no problems.

The overall power supply is handled by an extremely stable,

microprocessor-controlled, switching power supply, bringing massive gains in terms of weightsaving over a conventional toroidal transformer. Another advantage is the automatic mains voltage switching, which ensues that the PowerMate can be used without any problem anywhere in the world. Voltage surge protection is also integrated. A ‘soft start’ function prevents the mains fuse tripping when the device is switched on.

The PowerMate is equipped, naturally, with all the protective circuitry familiar from DYNACORD power amplifiers and satisfies even the extreme demands of hard tour use. The power amplifiers are protected against thermal overload, short-circuit, back EMF and noload operation as well as highfrequencies or DC at the output. Both outputs, here, are super vised independently so that, should a fault occur, only the channel

affected is shut down. When the device is powered up, there is a delay before the power outputs are connected, to obviate the risk of noise.

The thermal stability of the PowerMate is assured by two very quiet fans the speed of which is continuously variable. The frontto-rear airflow allows the device to be used in large or small racks. Furthermore, the PowerMate is equipped with an intelligent thermo-limiter, so if ever the threat of overheating does arise, the clip limiter intervenes in a highly musical way, acting only upon the peaks. In this way, a total shutdown of the power amplifiers is effectively prevented, as is any obtrusive fall in the overall volume level. The PROTECT and LIMIT LEDs on the front panel indicate the current operating state of the power amplifiers.

To ensure safe transportation, the PowerMate 600-3 is supplied with a solid plastic lid that is held in place simply and securely, without the need for any locking mechanism, by magnets.

Available as an optional accessory, the carrying bag BAG-600PM not only accommodates the PowerMate with its lid but also offers an additional compartment for cables etc.

For rack installation, the RMK-PM600-3 rack-mount kit is available as an option.

The +48V phantom power for condenser microphones can be switched in groups of six.

The Line Input and Channel Insert are implemented as jack sockets. The Gain can be controlled in the range 0- 60 dB.

The switchable Lo Cut filter (80Hz, 18dB/oct) serves to eliminate low-frequency noise. A ver y typical DYNACORD feature is the asymmetrical Voicing Filter by means of which, if desired, the voice can be powerfully emphasized i n the mix.

Optimized for ease-of-use, the 3-band semi-parametric equalizer makes it possible even for unpracticed users to perform the requisite corrections swiftly and intuitively.

With its extended buss structure, the PowerMate3 oﬀers very ﬂexible conﬁguration options. In all, 6 AUX busses are available:

• 2 (FX) are assiged to the two effects sends

• 2 (AUX) can be conﬁgured either as monitor or effect s

sends by means of a switch in the Main section

• 2 (MON) are designed as monitor sends,

each being equipped with a sweepable anti-

feedback filter in the Master section.

• 6 aux busses

• 30% reduction in weight

• more compact dimensions

• more than 50% less energy consumption

• editable effects

• USB Digital Audio Interface + MIDI

• innovative transport and protection solution

MUTE and PFL switches, each with its own LED, make it possible to mute each input channel individually and/ or listen to its pre-fader signal.

Each channel offers a Signal Present and Peak LED for level control.

The channel faders are dust-protected and offer not only excellent crosstalk attenuation but also a practice-optimized control characteristic.

All potentiometers and faders are high-quality components from ALPS.

STEREO MIC/LINE-INPUTS

The stereo input channels are equipped in much the same way, but optimized, naturally, to carry stereo signals.

Two of the four stereo inputs of each model are additionally equipped with cinch (RCA) sockets switched in parallel for CD or MP3 players.

The two other stereo inputs receive in addition the four channels of the digital audio interface USB 1-2 and USB 3-4

Separate Gain controls are provided for the Stereo Line and Mic inputs to permit them to be used in parallel if desired.

Three-band tone controls are provided and a Balance control replaces the PAN control found in the mono channel strips.

MASTER

In the Master Section, too, the PowerMate is

lavishly equipped.

The 11-band stereo equalizer can be routed to the Master channels or else to either or both of the Monitor Sends according to choice.

The FX1+2 Returns as well as the AUX1+2 and MON1+2 Sends are on faders just like the Master L/R signal, which makes for comfortable and intuitive operation.

The Master B signal is available pre or post Master L/R fader and can be mono-summed if desired.

The Master signal is also available on the REC SEND cinch (RCA) output with level control.

The level meters of the PowerMate comprise two LED chains of 12 LEDs each. The display range covers 40 dB; what is shown is the level in dBu at the master outputs. When the PFL switch is activated, the left-hand LED chain shows the internal level of the master buss in dBu.

The STANDB Y switch mutes all channels e.g. during pauses, with only the 2TRACK-to-MASTER input remaining active for the playback of interval music.

A 4-pin XLR socket is provided for the connection of a standard 12V/5W gooseneck lamp.

PROFESSIONAL DIGITAL HIGH-PERFORMANCE POWER AMPLIFIERS

The PowerMate is equipped with a professional, extremely powerful, stereo power amplifier that uses modern and highly eﬃcient Class-D technology.

What this means is that at a nominal output of 2 x 1,00 0 watts RMS into 4 ohms (or 2 x 1,350 watts RMS into 2.7 ohms), comparatively little dissipation is generated within the device, and the power consumption is thereby dramatically reduced— by more than 55% compared with conventional power amplifiers! The minimal load impedance at the output is 2.7 ohms, making operation with up to three 8-ohm loudspeaker cabinets per channel, connected in parallel, possible with no problems.

The audio performance is on the highest professional level, as is shown by the PowerMate’s exemplary figures for freedom from distortion, slew rate, and freedom from intermodulation.

PROCESSING MENUS

For the basic settings, conﬁguration, use of the eﬀects and special functions, a wide variety of editing options can be selected from a multitude of menus.

LPN PROCESSING

Typical small to medium-sized loudspeaker cabinets, for physical reasons that have nothing to do with their make or quality, exhibit distortion in the transient response of the woofer.

Since neither graphic nor parametric equalizers can do anything to alleviate this problem, the PowerMate offers a configurable LPN (low-pass notch) filter.

Depending upon the size of the loudspeaker cabinet being used and also to adjust to problematic acoustics (such as those of bassy, boom-ridden rooms), the LPN filter can be set to either High or Medium. The result is considerably greater punch (e.g. from the bass drum), an extension downwards of the frequency response, and improved transparency in the bass and midrange.

SPEAKER PROTECTION

This menu allows you to match perfectly the continuous power output of the PowerMate’s power amplifiers to the connected loudspeakers in the interests of greater operational safety and reliability.

Through dynamic limiting of the maximum power at the output, loudspeaker damage due to thermal overload can be avoided, without the wide dynamic range of the power amplifiers being sacrificed. Once the maximum permissible power handling of the connected loudspeaker cabinet has been selected from the menu—the actual peak dynamic power handling capacity in audio applications of almost all loudspeaker cabinets is many times this nominal value—the speaker protection supervises permanently the amount of energy being fed to the loudspeakers, only limiting it in the event of a threatened overload, and even then, doing so softly and inaudibly. For peak levels of short duration, the full output of the power amplifier remains available, even when relatively small cabinets are being used. As a result, not only is the maximum dynamic range of the system maintained but also, and at all times, the highest degree of operational safety and reliability.

The overall power supply is handled by an extremely stable, microprocessor-controlled, switching power supply, bringing massive gains in terms of weight-saving over a conventional toroidal transformer. Another advantage is the automatic mains voltage switching, which makes it possible to use the PowerMate virtually anywhere in the world without reconﬁguration. Voltage surge protection is also integrated, whilst a ‘soft start’ function prevents the mains fuse tripping when the device is switched on.

The PowerMate is equipped, naturally, with all the protective circuitry familiar from DYNACORD power amplifiers and satisfies even the extreme demands of hard tour use. The power amplifiers are protected against thermal overload, short-circuit, back EMF and no-load operation as well as high-frequencies or DC at the output.

All potentiometers and faders are high-quality components from ALPS.

CMs

MASTER

In the Master Section, too, the CMS3 mixers are lavishly equipped.

The 11-band stereo equalizer can be routed to the Master channels or else to either or both of the Monitor Sends according to choice.

The FX1+2 Returns as well as the AUX1+2 and MON1+2 Sends are on faders just like the Master L/R signal, which makes for comfortable and intuitive operation.

The Master B signal is available pre or post MASTER L/R fader and can be mono-summed if desired. The Master signal is also available on the REC Send cinch (RCA) output with level control.

The level meters of the CMS3 comprise two LED chains of 12 LEDs each. The display range covers 40 dB; what is shown is the level in dBu at the master outputs. When the PFL switch is activated, the left-hand LED chain shows the internal level of the master buss in dBu.

CMs

The Standby switch mutes all channels e.g. during pauses, with only the 2TRACK-to-Master input remaining active for the playback of inter val music.

A 4-pin XLR socket is provided for the connection of a standard 12V/5W gooseneck lamp.

STEREO MIC/LINE-INPUTS

The stereo input channels are equipped in much the same way, but optimized, naturally, to carry stereo signals.

Two of the four stereo inputs of each model are additionally equipped with cinch (RCA) sockets switched in parallel for CD or MP3 players.

The two other stereo inputs receive in addition the four channels of the digital audio interface USB 1-2 and USB 3-4

Separate Gain controls are provided for the Stereo Line and Mic inputs to permit them to be used in parallel if desired.

Three-band tone controls are provided, and a Balance control replaces the PAN control found in the mono channel strips.

DEVICE SETUP

USB RECORD ROUTING

DIGITAL USB 2.0 AUDIO INTERFACE

The USB 2.0 port serves as a digital audio interface

between the CMS3 and a PC or Mac.

For the use of the CMS3 with a PC or Mac, a free Cubase LE license as well as the requisite USB drivers are included free-of-charge on the supplied DVD.

PC MIDI INTERFACE

The CMS3 also offers a fully-featured PC MIDI interface.

The MIDI input also supports the remote switching of both internal effects units using a master keyboard or MIDI footswitch.

PROFESSIONAL EFFECTS, OLED DISPLAY AND PROCESSING MENUS

The CMS processors that work independently of one another, each offering 100 effects algorithms optimized for live performance, the most important parameters of which are editable.

has two integrated stereo multi-effects

For rack installation of the CMS 1000 (or table installation of the models 1600 and 2200), the mounting kit RMK 1000-3 is available.

Other accessories include the gooseneck light DC-LITLITE- 4P and the DC-FS11 ON/OFF footswitch for the effects units.

EFFEKTE

EDITIERBARE EFFEKTPROGRAMME

Linear 24-bit AD/DA converters and 48-bit doubleprecision processing guarantee the finest studio quality based on state-of-the-art technology. The 100 program locations of each device are packed with high-quality reverbs, halls and plates that deliver professional results in live performance on stage as well as in both studio and home recording environments.

Other presets include Echo/Reverb and Chorus/Echo combinations, a variety of delay, flanger, chorus and doubling algorithms, as well as special reverb and delay programs. When a delay effect is active, the delay time can be synchronized to the beat of the music using the TAP key. Edited effects programs can be stored in the 20 User memories offered by each device, assigned names, and later selected and used in the same way as the presets. The large, high-contrast OLED display is easily read from a wide range of viewing angles—even in very bright surroundings. The operation of the effects units and processing menus is intuitive and made easier still through the use of soft keys and a rotary encoder.

PROCESSING MENUS

For the basic settings, conﬁguration, use of the eﬀects and special functions, a wide variety of editing options can be selected from the clearly arranged menus.

Innovative Solution for

Protection and Transportation

Optionally available for the CMS 1000 and 1600 is a very robust plastic lid with an integrated handle—a highly innovative solution that offers optimal protection for the device as well as greater carrying comfort.

For the CMS 2200, due to its greater size, a flight-case solution is recommended (available as a further option is a dust cover: the DC-PM2200-COVER).
