The Lowdown:
All the function groups of the PowerMate are 100% professional in terms of their design and specifi cation. First comes the mixing section, where
you will fi nd 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 patented 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. The discrete microphone preamps of the new 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 fi lters, 3-band EQ with semiparametric mids, four aux sends, PFL, Mute, dust-proof ALPS
faders, 2 x 7-band graphic EQs, feedback fi lters and four stereo channels are just some of the other professional features. The integrated higheffi
ciency Class H power amplifi ers 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” amplfi ers are equipped are present here, including
protections against overheating, short-circuits and DC voltage and HF and back EMF protection. The fl ow of current at power up is limited and there is a short delay before power is switched to the loudspeaker outputs. An LPN fi lter and a super-fast dynamic audio limiter are further Dynacord-typical features 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 fl anger) 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.
