The PowerMate
The Power and the Beauty !
The PowerMate has long been regarded as the epitome of a powered mixer, offering uncompromised professional quality in every department: professional
components, professional features, professional reliability. With well over 80,000 units already sold, the
PowerMate is one of the most important products in
the pro audio sector — not just the biggest selling but
undisputedly the best product of its kind on the market. It’s the Formula One of power mixers, so it’s hardly surprising that the PowerMate has won numerous
awards and come out on top in countless comparative
tests. But aside from its quality, it’s the fact that it
matches perfectly the needs of its users that makes
the PowerMate the outstanding solution for a wide
range of professional sound reinforcement applications. Now, after many extraordinarily successful
years, the PowerMate has undergone a metamorphosis from which it emerges, more powerful, more fullyfeatured, and more elegant than ever before: the
Power and the Beauty.
What makes a PowerMate a PowerMate?
All the function groups of the PowerMate are 100%
professional in terms of their design and specification.
First comes the mixing section, where you will find
high-quality, discrete microphone preamps, new, dust-
proof ALPS faders (specially developed for the
PowerMate) with very high attenuation even in the HF
range, 48V phantom power switchable to the channels
in groups of six and a dynamic range that would put
most dedicated professional mixers to shame. AUX
3+4 are separately switchable pre/post fader. Then
come the ultra-efficient Class H power amplifiers,
which now deliver 2 x 700 W into 4 Ohms (PM 1000
and 1600). They are equipped with dynamic limiters,
an extensive range of protections and the patented
LPN filter for clearly improved bass performance.
Finally in the effects section, the two digital effects
processors offer 99 studio quality presets each and
are individually foot-switchable.
On top of these, there are many other useful features
designed to solve special problems, such as the two
feedback filters, the vocal voicing filter and the standby switch.
This is a powered mixer that can also be used as a
pure mixer, with power amplifiers every bit as good as
dedicated 19” concert sound amplifiers, and studio
quality effects specially optimised for live performance.
Housed in a robust case with a sturdy metal lid, the
PowerMate is manufactured in Germany to the
highest standards. Nothing else sounds like it. Nothing
else performs like it. And nothing is as reliable.
The Power and the Beauty !
pro-mixing
The discrete microphone preamps
of the PowerMate 1000 and
PowerMate 1600 combine outstanding audio quality with extremely
low noise and distortion, setting
new standards in professional mixing technology. Ergonomically
designed gain controls with a range
of 60 dB, group-switchable phantom power, vocal voicing filters, 3band EQ with semiparametric mids,
four aux sends, PFL, Mute, dustproof ALPS faders, 2 x 7-band
graphic EQs, feedback filters and
four stereo channels are just some
of the other professional features.
pro-power
The integrated high-efficiency Class
H power amplifiers deliver an impressive 2 x 700 watts into 4 ohms
and an absolutely safe 2 x 870 watts
into 2.66 ohms with comparatively
little heat build-up. All the protective
circuits with which the Dynacord
19” amplfiers are equipped are
present here, including protections
against overheating, short-circuits
and DC voltage and HF and back
EMF protection. The flow of current
at power up is limited and there is a
short delay before power is
switched to the loudspeaker outputs. An LPN filter and a super-fast
dynamic audio limiter are further
Dynacord-typical features.
pro-effects
Two parallel and individually controlled 24-bit stereo digital effects
devices with 48-bit algorithms offer a
total of 2 x 99 live-optimised presets
in studio quality. User-friendly
Up/Down keys are used to select
between room reverb, plate reverb,
echo reverb, chorus reverb,
mono/stereo delay, modulated delay
effects (like chorus and flanger) and
a large number of other special
effects. Your preferred starting presets can be stored in program mode
so as to be instantly available next
time you switch on the device. The
effects returns can be switched into
or out of the signal path using either
one footswitch for both of the integrated effects devices or a separate
footswitch for each.
SYSTEM DETAILS & FEAT
U
MIC / STEREO LINE CHANNELSMIC / LINE CHANNELS
The MIC/LINE channels of the PowerMate are outstandingly well-equipped and offer a multitude of useful extras.
To allow the use of condenser microphones, phantom
power can be switched to the channels in groups of six.
Inserts in each mono channel permit the external processing of the microphone signals. Ergonomically designed
GAIN pots with a range of 60 dB plus Signal Present and
Peak LEDs beside the faders provide optimum control
over the performance of the discrete microphone preamps. A switchable 80 Hz LO-CUT FILTER is provided for
the suppression of low frequency noise. The 3-band EQ
section includes a sweepable (100 Hz – 8 kHz) semi-parametric MID, a LO-SHELV at 60 Hz and a HI-SHELV at 12
kHz with a control range of +/- 15 dB in each case. AUX1
and AUX2 are switched post-fade and control the level of
signal sent to the onboard effects devices FX1 and FX2.
AUX3 and AUX4 are designed to be switched pre-fade for
separate monitor mixes but can also be switched postfade to supply additional effects devices in the sum. The
channel strips also include PAN pots as well as PFL and
MUTE switches, each with its own LED. Ultra-high quality
dust-protected ALPS faders with extremely high maximum
attenuation levels control the ratios of the individual channels.
FEEDBACK FILTER
The AUX3 and AUX4
auxiliary sends offer
switchable anti-feedback filters, sweepable over the range
80Hz – 7.7kHz, for
the swift and precise
elimination of feedback between the microphones and monitor loudspeakers
(a common problem) and for which an additional equaliser
would otherwise be needed.
The MIC/STEREO LINE channels differ from the mono
channels in having separate GAIN MIC and LINE TRIM
controls instead of the LO-CUT and VOCAL VOICING
switches, 3-band equalisation (LO, MID and HI) and a
BALANCE control instead of the PAN control offered by
the mono channels.
MASTER SECTION
In the master section, too, you’ll find PowerMates are exceptionally well-equipped. Faders are provided for the returns of
the integrated effects devices, FX1 and FX2, as well as for
the AUX3 and AUX4 sends and the stereo MASTER. The
left and right channels of the 2 x 7-band equaliser used to
neutralise problematic room acoustics (with frequency bands
optimised for live performance) are separately switchable
and adjustable. The AUX1 and AUX2 sends can be used to
supply separate effects devices, either parallel to the internal
ones or on their own, and have individual level controls.
There is an additional MONO OUT, switchable pre/post.
Power, Limit and Clip LEDs and a 2 x 12 LED Master Display
provide a clear overview of the operating state. The 2TRACK RETURN allows a line input signal — e.g. from a
tape machine — to be fed into the sum or AUX3 and AUX4
monitor sends with individual level control. Also on hand is a
STANDBY switch that eliminates the mixer section altogether, in which case only the signals from the 2-TRACK
RETURN are fed to the built-in amplifier.
STAGELIGHT
To permit the swift and sure operation of the PowerMate
on dark stages during live performances, a socket is provided for an XLR gooseneck light (12V, 2.4W) which is
available as an optional extra.
VOCAL VOICING FILTER
With its special asym-
metric structure, this
filter, which can be
switched to each mic-
channel separately,
emphasizes the fre-
quency range in which
the fundamental tones
of the human voice are located, raising the profile of the
vocals within the overall mix. This type of contouring, which
cannot be achieved using ordinary EQ, solves the problem
of ‘thin voices’.
PROTECTIVE LID
Included in the delivery is a
robust, metal lid that clicks shut
and allows the PowerMate to
be transported safely without
the need for an additional flightcase.
RES
HANDLES
Easy and problem-free handling is assured by
a beam running the entire width of the device
at the front and the ergonomically-shaped
handles recessed into the sides.
POWER
At 2 x 700 W into 4 ohms and 2 x 870 W into
2.66 ohms, both PowerMates output considerably more power than conventional power
mixers but with extremely low distortion and
intermodulation values. Special pole zero compensators — Dynacord’s patented LPN filter
— eliminate transient response distortion typically introduced by PA speakers and provide a
degree of punch and impulse-fidelity in the bass
reproduction never before achieved.

provide sound reinforcement to additional rooms and a headphone socket
(also with its own level control).
pro-power
Despite its compact dimensions,
the PowerMate 600 is rated at 2 x
300 watts into 4 ohms and therefore offers large dynamic reserves
with exceptionally low distortion
and intermodulation values. All the
safety features of Dynacord’s 19”
amplifiers are on board as well as
the patented LPN Filter technology
for ultra-powerful bass reproduction and a superfast dynamic audio
limiter, whilst the power supply
offers the legendary 30% headroom.
pro-effects
Two parallel and individually controlled 24-bit stereo digital effects
devices with 48-bit algorithms offer a
total of 198 live-optimised presets in
studio quality. User-friendly Up/Down
