2.2 Input Stereo

Since most features AUX faders, controls and channel faders of the STEREO INPUTS are virtually identical to the ones of the MONO INPUTS we will not discuss their functioning in detail again. Thus, in the following we only point out the differences and like to ask you to refer to the analogous paragraphs within this owners manual describing the MONO INPUTS. 16 - MIC Different from the products of many other manufacturers, the stereo input channels of the PowerMate, like their monaural counterparts, incorporate extensive circuitry and electronically balanced XLRtype connectors for the connection of low impedance microphones. No matter if your setup is more microphone-oriented or you have more line level sound sources to connect, you can always use the full amount of input channels, provided by your PowerMate. Dependable on its setting, the high-quality MIC input in the stereo channel is capable of handling levels between -60 dBu and +11 dBu. Low-level circuitry architecture and phantom power (+48 V) ability of this XLR-type input are mainly aimed at the connection of microphones, making it not necessarily suitable for connecting Line level appliances, like mixers, effects units, etc. Please use the provided LINE inputs to connect those sound sources. General functions and usage of MIC inputs were already discussed in detail for monaural channels.
Illustration 2-9: Microphone input (Stereo) of PowerMate 1000
Illustration 2-10: Pin assignment of XLR microphone input
17 - STEREO INPUT L/MONO R Electronically balanced inputs for the connection of musical instruments with stereo output, like keyboards, drum machines, E-guitars and E-basses with an active output as well as all other equivalent sound sources with high level outputs, like additional mixing consoles, FX units, CD players, etc. The stereo LINE input is meant for balanced or unbalanced sound sources with levels between -20 dBu and +30 dBu. Using phone plugs For the connection of external devices you can use monaural or stereo phone plugs, which are in accordance to the diagram below. If the external appliance is equipped with a balanced output stage, using balanced cables and plugs is preferable, since this type of connection provides improved shielding against HF induction and external noise. In case you want to connect a monaural sound source to a stereo input channel, you just have to plug it into the L/MONO input. The signal gets internally routed to both channels.

32 - FX 1/2 TO AUX 1/2 These controls allow adding the output signal (pre fader) of FX 1 or FX 2 to the AUX 1 or AUX 2 channel. 33 - FX 1/2 TO MON 1/2 These controls allow adding the output signal of FX 1 or FX 2 to the MON 1 or MON 2 channel. Experience has revealed that the effect level in the monitor mix has to be lower than the level in the master mix, since the distance between monitor speakers and artists is much shorter. 34 - PK LED These indicators signal if the internal FX units or the FX 1/2 SENDS signals are on the verge of clipping. To achieve an adequate S/N ratio, please adjust the FX units input level as follows: FX input level setting instructions: Establish a dry mix without effect settings according to the previous descriptions. Position the effect return fader of the corresponding effect channel at the -5 dB mark. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to select the desired FX program preset. Press the FX ON switch. Play (start the reproduction of) the sound source connected to the desired input channel and adjust the desired amount of the FX signal, using the FX controls of this input channel. Repeat this step for all input channels that you want to include in your effect mix. 6. Monitor the Peak LED so that it only lights frequently at highly dynamic signal peaks. When clipping occurs, reduce the FX controls in the channels. 7. Use the FX to AUX or FX to MON control to add the effect mix to the AUX or monitor mix. Use the Effekt Return faders to add the desired amount of the FX signal to the master mix. In case you are using a different effect setting for the second FX unit, you have to repeat steps 2 - 7, respectively. Pay some attention to the peak indicators when operating your PowerMate to be able to quickly interact when the signal levels exceed the normal range and enter clipping. 35 - FX ON This switch switches an internal FX unit on and the green LED lights. Please keep in mind that you can also use an external footswitch or a connected MIDI device for the switching of the FX unit. In this case, the LED also shows the actual operational status of the FX unit. If you want to use a footswitch (or MIDI device), the FX ON switch has to be engaged first. The corresponding FX unit is activated and you can use the footswitch (or MIDI device) to switch the selected effect program on or off. 36 - PFL Engaging the PFL button routes the audio signal to the headphones bus, so that it is present at the phones output connector. The phones output volume is independent of the corresponding channel faders setting (Pre Fader Listen), which provides the possibility to listen to the sound of the selected audio signal, without including it in the master mix. 37 - EFFEKT RETURN FADER These stereo faders are used to determine the effect amount added to the master mix. In case you have to set these faders at a position above the +5 dB mark, please check if the FX units input signals are adjusted properly. Otherwise use the FX SEND controls to increase the input levels. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Play USB to 2TRACK on page 31) are still outputted, providing you with a very comfortable solution to play intermission music during performance breaks. CAUTION: The signal feed to the internal power amplifier is also interrupted.
54 - MASTER A OUT L/R The signals at the MASTER A OUT L/R outputs are post master fader and mainly meant to feed additional, external power amplifiers. Through these outputs it is also possible to establish two-way active system set-ups. In this case the active crossovers respectively the active subwoofers have to be connected to the MASTER A OUT L/R outputs. If you want to use the internal power amplifier to drive the high frequency cabinets, the treble signal coming from the crossover has to be fed back into the PowerMate via the INPUTS POWER AMP L/R connectors. 55 - INPUTS POWER AMP L/R The INPUTS POWER AMP L/R are also provided via electronically balanced phone jacks with breaker function. When inserting a phone plug, the signal path gets split up between the master and the internal power amplifier, which allows operating the internal power amps via INPUTS POWER AMP L/R inputs. 56 - MASTER B OUTPUTS L/R At the MASTER B OUTPUTS the L/R master audio signal is present that can be used for additional monitoring, side fill and next door applications, or for the connection of a delay-line or subwoofer. The output is pre/post- and also stereo/ mono-switchable. 57 - MASTER B This control allows adjusting the level of the MASTER B output. The signal levels at MASTER A OUT L/R and MASTER B OUTPUTS L/R are identical if the MASTER B control is set to the position 5 and the PRE/POST switch is set to POST. 58 - PRE/POST OF MASTER B When PRE is selected the MASTER B is outputted pre master faders (and, if used, pre GEQ), i.e. the level at the MASTER B OUTPUTS is independent from the master faders settings. When POST is selected the MASTER B is outputted post master faders, i.e. the level at the MASTER B OUTPUTS depends on the setting of the master faders. Controlling a connected Subs level via master fader makes sense when using an active subwoofer. For monitoring applications, e.g. side fill on the stage, using the pre-fader setting seems more reasonable. 59 - STEREO/MONO OF MASTER B When STEREO is selected the MASTER L/R signal is not changed and outputted in stereo. When MONO is selected the MASTER L/R signal is summed and outputted in mono at MASTER B L and also MASTER B R. Using MONO is recommended when mono subwoofers are connected to MASTER B outputs. 60 - PHONES Stereo phone jack for the connection of headphones with an impedance of 32 to 600 ohms. The audio signals of the channels with PFL buttons engaged is outputted via this connector. The phones output presents the master L/R signal when there is no PFL button engaged. As the output is protected against short circuit, headphones or in ear monitor systems with an impedance belwo 32 ohms can be connected. In this case the maximum reachablee volume is reduced. 61 - PHONES This control sets the volume of the headphones connected. CAUTION: Make sure to set the control to its minimum position before connecting headphones. Permanent hearing loss may occur if headphones are used at high volume.

The Speaker Protection function provides the possibility to optimally match the PowerMate to your speaker setup. Speaker Protection is based on a sophisticated overload protection, which is usually only found in power amplifiers of the absolute top class. Integrated control algorithms continuously monitor the effective power (RMS) that is delivered to the loudspeaker systems. If the set value is exceeded over an extended period of time, a subtle limitation of the power peaks will take place to avoid thermal overload of the voice coils. For notes on the setting of this function, please refer to page 30. 72 - AMPLIFIER STATUS INDICATORS These indicators are to inform you about the actual operational state of the PowerMates internal power amplifier.
PROTECT LED The PROTECT indicator lights when one of the PowerMates extensive protection circuits against thermal overload, HF-induction, DC at the outputs, and short circuit protection is activated. When the PowerMate is in protect mode, the speaker outputs are muted and the amplifier inputs are short circuited to prevent the power amp from being damaged. In this case you should first check whether the ventilation louvers are blocked. Another cause could be, that you have connected more than three 8 ohms speaker systems per power output. Please also disconnect the Speakon connectors and check the speaker cables for short circuits. During power-on operation the PROTECT LED always lights for some seconds, signalizing that the PowerMates protection circuitry is operational. LIMIT LED The LIMIT indicator signals that you are operating the PowerMate at the internal power amps limit. Frequent blinking of the LED is acceptable, since the amplifiers incorporated clip limiter prevents distortion. Continuous lighting indicates that you have to be aware of degradation in the outputted sound. In that case, the master level has to be reduced. The LIMIT LED also lights if the output level is reduced because of high amplifier temperature or activated Speaker Protection (see page 30).

73 - MAINS CONNECTOR The PowerMate receives its power supply via the lockable Mains input. Only the provided power cord may be used. Connect the PowerMate only to a mains network, which corresponds to the requirements indicated on the type plate. HINT: Press the yellow button at the plug to disconnect the power cord. 74 - POWER Mains switch to turn the PowerMate on or off. The PowerMate is operational when the display indicates the selected program numbers and the PROTECT LED goes off. Please make sure to set the master faders to their minimum position or engage the STANDBY switch before switching the power on. This will save you, your audience, and the equipment from unnecessary stress. In case additional external equipment is connected to the PowerMate e.g. power amps, FX units, EQs, etc. please, proceed in the following order when switching your equipment on: 1. switch on the FX units 2. switch on the PowerMate 3. switch on external power amps When switching the power off, please proceed in the opposite order. 75 - MIDI IN/OUT The MIDI IN/OUT ports allow connecting MIDI devices to the PowerMate. Next to the PC MIDI interface controlling the effect unit is possible via MIDI IN, please see page 30 for details. 76 - SPEAKER OUTPUTS RIGHT / LEFT The PowerMate is equipped with professional Speakon high-performance connectors, offering electrical and mechanical secure connection, which complies to all security regulations. It also allows the use of high quality speaker cables with diameters of 4 x 2,5mm2. The pin assignment is shown at the rear panel of the PowerMate.

The symbol representing the speaker connectors indicates the presence of touch-sensible voltages, which can cause harm to body and health. Please, be sure to adhere to corresponding notes and instructions in this owners manual when establishing speaker connections.

The actual impedance of the speaker is often much lower than the nominal impedance stated in the specifications. In both cases, the use of incorrect or misleading specifications may result in thermal overload to the voice coil of lower quality speakers, even if the Speaker Protection was set to the given specification. DYNACORD is not and will not be responsible for any damage to loudspeakers, even if the Speaker Protection was activated.

HINT: For sending MIDI data from your PC to the PowerMate, open the Sounds and Audio Devices Properties in the Windows Control Panel. Select DYNACORD USB-MIDI as Default Device for MIDI music playback.
Vice versa, all MIDI data input via the MIDI IN jack are passed through to the PC, for instance to be recorded using a sequencer software application. Keep in mind that the control data for the integrated effects units, that for example can be remotely controlled via MIDI footswitch, are transmitted to the PC as well. Data error interpretation can be avoided through careful selection of suitable MIDI channels, see also FX Control Setup on page 30.
4.5 Examples of usage (Playback)
MUSIC PLAYBACK IN STEREO When the DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE is used as PowerMate input, the channels USB 1 and USB 2 or USB 3 and USB 4 are assigned to a stereo input each, refer to the following table:

Illustration 4-9: USB Record Routing dialog (Studio)

DIGITAL AUDIO INTERFACE

In order to gain the full flexibility of a 4-track recording mixer, the ways should not be used for other purposes, e. g. for monitoring. The studio mode is mainly meant for capturing song ideas and the production of demo recordings in a home studio or rehearsal room. For this application, AUX 1 and AUX 2 should be operated in premode and the graphic EQ should not be assigned to the monitor ways. During recording, use the AUX/MON controls to assign the musical instruments that are to be recorded at the same time to the four tracks. You can also already combine some instruments in a pre-mix. For example, it might be useful to combine the individual drums of a drum-set in a single drums track. Since AUX and MON tap the pre-fader signal, you can use the faders on the mixer to create the monitor-mix for the musicians. Using headphones for the monitoring is of course always recommended, since the acoustic signal of loudspeaker systems also affects the recording microphones. The result often sounds washy, and correcting it in the later on mix-down process is basically impossible. Use the USB playback channels in order to feed the signal of already recorded tracks (overdubbing) or a click-track to the musicians' monitor-mix during the recording. Since you use your PowerMate as recording center, true zerolatency monitoring is guaranteed, i. e. during the recording of vocals or musical instruments, you create your monitor-mix (headphones) directly in the mixer, without routing the audio signal first to the PC and then back again to the mixer. Inherent to its functional principle, such an approach is always associated with a certain runtime delay (latency), which, if it is too high, basically renders the rhythmic performance of a musician impossible or, vice versa, makes very high demands on the system, if the latency has to be imperceptibly low. The complete description of the recording procedure goes beyond the scope of an owner's manual, particularly since the optimal approach depends to a great extent on the necessities of the band members, the music style and the preferences of the musicians. At this point, we refer to the extensive literature available on this topic, and would like to encourage you to explore the comprehensive possibilities and features offered by the PowerMate for the recording process for yourself.

speaker systems to the PowerMates power outputs. Make sure not to confuse the channels by accident. Use the short Speakon cables to connect Hi and Lo cabinets in parallel. 7. Connect the PowerMates MON 1/2 outputs with the active monitors input, using the XLR LF cables. 8. Connect all microphones preferably to the monaural inputs of the PowerMate and keyboards and other comparable sound sources to the rest of the available inputs. 9. Pull all faders down and engage the PowerMates STANDBY switch to prevent unwanted feedback noise. 10. First, switch the PowerMate on and then the active monitor speakers. 11. In case you have condenser microphones connected to the PowerMate, you can now turn on the phantom power by pressing the PHANTOM POWER switch. 12. Activate the PowerMates operational mode through pressing the STANDBY switch again.

5.4 Soundcheck

First, adjust the input levels of the microphones that are connected to the PowerMate. Please proceed as follows: 1. Set the corresponding gain controls and the channel faders to their lowest position. 2. Speak or sing as loud as possible into the microphone. 3. Use the gain control to adjust the level, so that even at loud passages the red PK LED does not light but the green SIG LED lights constantly. Adjust the EQ of the monaural input channels: 1. Slide the channel fader and the master faders up a bit, so that the sound coming from the main speakers is heard. 2. Turn the MID control carefully all the way to the right (+15 dB). You should not hear any feedback. 3. Play the sound source or speak into the connected microphone. 4. Turn the frequency control (kHz) slowly from left to right. 5. Surely and within no time, you will detect the frequency range that is not to your liking or causing feedback noise. 6. Leave the frequency control in this position and turn the MID control to the left until the sound is natural or to your liking. 7. If necessary, adjust the Hi and LOW controls, starting from their centered position, until the sound matches your personal taste. 8. Repeat steps 1 - 7 for all monaural input channels in use. In case you are also using the stereo input channels, you can adjust the levels in a similar way: 1. Set the LINE CD/USB controls, the GAIN MIC controls, and the channel fader to their lowest setting. 2. Play the corresponding sound source at the highest volume that is to be expected during the perform3. ance. Use the LINE CD or LINE USB control to adjust the level, so that even at loud passages the red PK LED is not lit but the green SIG present LED lights constantly.

Always Best to be First
WHEN DYNACORD IN 1997 LAUNCHED THE FIRST GENERATION POWERMATE, ITS WELL THOUGHT-OUT AND UNCOMPROMISING ADDED VALUE CONCEPT CAUSED A CONSIDERABLE STIR, AND AN UNUSUALINDEED UNPARALLELED SUCCESS STORY BEGAN.

More than 100,000 units sold
NOW, WITH MORE THAN 100,000 UNITS SOLD, THE POWERMATE IS THE LIVING PROOF THAT IT ISNT THE PRICE ALONE BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE TAILORING OF FEATURES AND EQUIPMENT TO THE PRECISE NEEDS OF THE PROFESSIONAL USER THAT DETERMINES THE SUCCESS OF A PRODUCT.

Innovation as Tradition

r M ate
DYNACORD can draw upon a 65-year tradition in the development and manufacture of mobile mixing amplifiers. Its rst innovatory step was the integration of signal mixing and power amplication 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 rst 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 efcient energy management and its superb styling. The perfection of every component reflects the passion of the developers.

The Ideal Solution for an Enormous Variety of Applications
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.
Third-generation success story: the PowerMate3
THE CURRENT POWERMATE GENERATION FEATURES A MULTITUDE OF INNOVATIONS AND OPTIMIZATIONS. DESPITE A CLEAR REDUCTION IN WEIGHT, IT OFFERS CONSIDERABLE GAINS IN TERMS OF BOTH POWER AMPLIFIER OUTPUT AND FEATURES, AS WELL AS BEING MORE COMPACT THAN EVER BEFORE.

MIC/LINE Input channels

The XLR microphone input is equipped with an extremely high quality, ultra-low noise, discrete preamp. 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 very typical DYNACORD feature is the asymmetrical Voicing Filter by means of which, if desired, the voice can be powerfully emphasized in 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 exible conguration options. In all, 6 AUX busses are available: 2 (FX) are assiged to the two effects sends 2 (AUX) can be congured either as monitor or effects sends by means of a switch in the Main section 2 (MON) are designed as monitor sends, each being equipped with a sweepable antifeedback filter in the Master section. 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 Input channels

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 STANDBY 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.

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.

Digital Audio Interface

DEVICE SETUP
DIGITAL USB 2.0 AUDIO INTERFACE The USB 2.0 port serves as a digital audio interface between the PowerMate and a PC or Mac. Four channels can be transmitted in either direction simultaneously. This interface can therefore be used either for the input of audio signals (e.g. for playback or interval music) or else for live- or studio-recording applications. It is configured by selecting the relevant setting in the menu. For the use of the PowerMate 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.

USB RECORD ROUTING

PC MIDI INTERFACE The PowerMate 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 PowerMate has two integrated stereo multieffects processors that work independently of one another, each offering 100 effects algorithms optimized for live performance, the most important parameters of which are editable. 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 each 20 User memories, 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 angleseven 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.

LPN FILTER

SPEAKER PROTECTION
PROCESSING MENUS For the basic settings, conguration, use of the effects and special functions, a wide variety of editing options can be selected from a multitude of 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 PowerMates 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 menuthe 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.

Professional Digital High-Performance Power Amplifiers
PROFESSIONAL DIGITAL HIGH-PERFORMANCE POWER AMPLIFIERS The PowerMate is equipped with a professional, extremely powerful, stereo power amplifier that uses modern and highly efcient Class-D technology. 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), comparatively little dissipation is generated within the device, and the power consumption is thereby dramatically reducedby 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 PowerMates exemplary figures for freedom from distortion, slew rate, and freedom from intermodulation. 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 reconguration. 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. Both outputs, here, are supervised 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 front-to-rear airflow allows the device to be used in large or small racks; furthermore, the PowerMate is equipped with a processor-controlled 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 ampliers 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.

Innovative Solution for Protection and Transportation
The PowerMate 1000 and 1600 are supplied with 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 larger PowerMate 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).

Accessories

For rack installation of the PowerMate 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.
