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, Moore 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 reflects the passion of the developers. "Perfection.Passion.PowerMate" The Ideal Solution for an Enormous Variety of Applications Whilst for a great many live music applications an integrated solution in the shape of a powered mixer has long been the proven and preferred alternative, PowerMates, with their flexible performance profile, soon found acceptance, too, in such places as hotels, churches, halls, music schools, clubs and restaurants as well, naturally, as in the rental business, being convenient, compact, light and very simple to operate systems for small to medium-sized events PowerMate 1000 Mark 2 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, dustproof 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-effi cient Class H power amplifi ers, 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 LPN fi lter 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 fi lters, the vocal voicing fi lter and the standby switch. This is a powered mixer that can also be used as a pure mixer, with power amplifi ers every bit as good as dedicated 19“ concert sound amplifi ers, 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.
