History

Innovation as
Tradition
PowerMate
3
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.

owerMate 600-3
P
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.

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.
12
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.

P
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.
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. For this purpose, the
maximum permissible nominal
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.
