First of all, we would like to thank you and congratulate you to your purchase of a DYNACORD power mixer. The PowerMate compact power mixers incorporate profound Know-How, based on our research and development in the professional audio market as well as on the inter-communication with our clients, for decades. With a PowerMate you own a power mixer[...]

1 . MIC Electronically balanced XLR-type inputs for the connection of low impedance microphon es, likewise the ones that are featured in major studio and live mixing consoles. This type of input stage provides extraordinary low noise signal conversion at an extremely low distort ion rate (typical <002%) even in the high frequency range. Generall[...]

3. INSERT Stereo phone jack with breaker function. The low impedance output is assigned to the tip (send) and the high impedance input (return) is assigned to the ring (body). This jack allows the co nnection of external compressors, limiters, EQs, de-noisers, etc. into the corresponding channel’s signal path. The insertion point is post gain con[...]

Sometimes it can be also very effective to combine the LO CUT filter with the VOICING filter. For instance to provide a “thin” voice with more “body”, without getting additional low pitche d noise. Whenever the LO CUT is engaged, raising the bass level (LO EQ) provides you with a richer sound, but no additional rumbling or popping noise. An[...]

Adjustments in the MID range are certainly the most effective way to shape the sound. As a matter of fact, determining the correct center frequency is not always as easy as it seems. Here is one method – amongst others – how to quickly find the right setting of the parametric EQ for your application. Note on how to adjust the parametric EQ: 1.S[...]

The AUX3 POST button is engaged (LED is lit): the signal at the AUX3 rotary control is POST FADER – the signal gets split after it passed the channel faders and therefore is affecte d by their settings. Setting all AUX3 controls to their center position, the main mix is also present o n the monitor bus, giving you the opportunity to control the v[...]

Since most features of the stereo inputs are virtually identical to the ones of the monaur al inputs, we will not discuss their functioning in detail again. Thus, we only point out the differences and ask you to refer to the analogous paragraphs in the first chapter of this owner’s manual. 14. MIC Like their monaural counterparts the stereo input[...]

with pre-programmed channel mapping is to use two adjacent monaural input channels, leavin g you the option to place the sound in the final mix via PAN controls. One more tip, in case you desperately need another input and all channels of the PowerMate are already in use: The microphone input and the phone plug-type inputs are electrically totally [...]

21. BAL The function of the BAL control of the stereo channels is equivalent to the PAN control’s fu nction of the monaural channels. If you turn the rotary control all the way to the right, the right si gnal is outputted to the right output while the signal of the left channel is muted. When the contro l is set to its center position, the L/R si[...]

FX1/FX2 The PowerMate offers two independent, identical configured 18bit stereo effect units – FX1 and FX2. Each unit provides 99 program presets which are selected by the use of the UP/DOWN buttons. The presets are divided according to the different effect types into seven different groups which are shown on the printed labels. The programs with[...]

29. AUX/FX SEND These rotary controls could also be defined as FX SEND master controls, since they are used to adjust the overall level of the effect mix that you have established using the channel FX send controls. The AUX/FX SEND controls are used to set the input levels of the corresponding FX unit, respectively the levels of the AUX SEND output[...]

Generally, the AUX3 channel is used as monitor bus. Depending on the setting of the AUX3 POS T switch, it is also possible to configure the bus for the connection of an additional, ext ernal FX unit. 33. AUX3 SEND This output is meant for the connection of an external FX unit, a power amplifier or acti ve stage monitor speaker systems, when the AUX[...]

38. MONO OUTPUT At the monaural output the summed L/R signal of the master is present. It can be used for add itional monitoring, side fill and “next door” applications, or to establish a delay-line. CAUTION: The outputted signal is not only affected by the setting of the MONO OUT fader but also by the MASTER faders’ setting. 39. PHONES OUTPU[...]

43. STEREO RETURNS The stereo returns are used to route stereo signals (e. g. of an additional external mixer, FX unit, etc.) to the master output. In case you want to connect a monaural device, please use only the L/MONO return connector. The monaural signal is internally routed to both channels. 44. STEREO RETURN Rotary control for level adjustme[...]

49. MAIN INSERTS Stereo phone jack for the left and the right channel with breaker function. The low impedance output is assigned to the tip (send) and the high impedance input (return) is assigned to the ring of the connector. This jack allows the connection of external EQs, compressors, limiters, etc. into the master’s signal path. The insertio[...]

55. POWER AMP STATUS indicators These indicators are to inform you about the momentary operational status of the PowerMate’s internal power amplifier. The POWER ON indicator is always lit when the PowerMate is in operational mode. If the LED is not lit after you have turned the power on, please make sure that the PowerMate’s mains cable is corr[...]

57. 7-BAND EQUALIZER T he EQ ON switches activate the 7-band graphic EQs within the Power - Mate’s master channels. The EQ’s insert point is post master fader and pre power amplifier. The EQ is bypassed when the EQ ON switch is not locked in its “ON” position. The two graphic EQs provide seven frequency bands, each. Through these faders you[...]

59. PFL MASTER Engaging the master PFL-button, the PRE FADER stereo master signal is routed to the headphones output. The volume of this signal is not affected by the setting of the MASTER faders. 60. MASTER L + R Level controls to adjust the output signals of the left and right main outputs (MASTER). Please, make sure that the corresponding input [...]

SPEAKER OUTPUTS RIGHT / LEFT The PowerMate is equipped with professional SPEAKON connectors, offering an electrical and mechanical secure con - nection which complies to all security regulations. It also allows the use of high quality speaker cables with a diameter of 4 x 2.5mm 2 . The DYNACORD accessory assortment includes all recommended cables a[...]

CABLING The mains supply cord comes with the PowerMate. The quality of all other cables lies in your responsibility. Carefully chosen high quality cables are the best precaution to prevent later problems during live operation. The following wiring alternatives are recommended to provide a trouble free operation of your setup. SPEAKER CABLES From ou[...]

In this chapter we would like to explain to you how to install a typical sound reinforcement system in passive configuration and incorporating stage monitor speakers. The necessary equipment is : 1 PowerMate 1000 1 Power amplifier for the monitor signal – for i. e. 2x250 watts 2 HI cabinets – i. e. 3-way 12" speakers 2 LO cabinets – i. e[...]

• Connect the PowerMate’s AUX3 SEND with the external amplifier’s input, using the Balanced NF-cable with the stereo phone plug on one end and the XLR-type connector on the other. • Connect all microphones preferably to the monaural inputs of the PowerMate and the keyboa rds and other comparable sound sources to the rest of the available in[...]

4. Starting from the center position, you can adjust the controls until the sound is to your l iking. Please, keep in mind that major alteration of the EQ-setting does not necessarily result in the impro vement of the overall sound. Especially when sound shaping is concerned, less can be more. 5. Repeat the steps 1 - 4 for all stereo input channels[...]

The patch field within the master section is referred to as MASTER PATCHBAY. The mixer’s LINE OUTPUTS, RETURNS, and INSERTS are to be found here. To provide you with a wide variety of connection possibilities, the MASTER INSERTS, MAIN OUTPUTS, EQ INPUTS and EQ OUTPUTS, PO WER AMP INPUTS, and the AUX SENDS and AUX RETURNS can be independently conn[...]

3. Using the internal power amplifier for monitoring or side-fill purposes: In case you want to use an external power amplifier to drive your main speaker systems, the internal power amplifier can be used for monitoring and side-fill purposes. Use short patch-cables to connect the AUX3 OUTPUT with the EQ INPUT L and the MONO OUTPUT with the EQ INPU[...]

5. Maximum amount of speakers in a passive configuration: The PowerMate allows the maximal connection of three loudspeaker cabinets with an impe dance of 8 ohms per channel. In other words: the internal power amplifier is capable of driving a maximum of s ix 8 ohm speaker models. The following diagram shows how the speakers have to be connected. 6.[...]
