DESCRIPTION

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 that offers a wide range of functionality in a very compact frame. All the
troubling experiences with cabling and matching mixers, amplifi ers, FX units, and equalizers is history. You now
own a device with optimally matched components.
The mixer's ergonomic shape and clearly structured controls allow instant access at all times. In case the console
is operated in areas with insuffi cient lighting, a gooseneck lamp can be easily plugged into the provided socket.
Also during the transport you will quickly learn to appreciate the PowerMate's superiority: recessed handles on
both sides, compact dimensions and low weight. In addition, a sturdy dust hood protects the controls against
damaging. On the other hand, the PowerMate can be easily mounted in a 19" rack shelf. You just have to replace
the plastic side panels by a pair of metal rack mount ears.
Through its multiple functions, its high dynamic capacity, and extremely low-noise design in combination with
its 18bit-Dual-Stereo FX unit and the powerful amplifi er, the PowerMate is best equipped for universal use.
No matter, whether on-stage, in a home recording environment or in a permanent installation, DYNACORD's
PowerMate is the ideal partner to meet your expectations of a professional audio device – effective and reliable.
Of course, you want to operate your new PowerMate as quickly as possible. But please, take your time to
read about all connections, functions, and controls, fi rst. Every section is explained systematically and in detail
within this owner's manual: the input channels, the FX units and the master section as well as the built-in power
amplifi er. Through the careful perception of the manual you will learn a great deal about all functions and fi nd
some useful and practical tips for the daily operation of the PowerMate. Even more important, you will fi nd
some adjustment guidelines that should be painstakingly carried out; plus the description of a typical sound
reinforcement installation, a block diagram, specifi cations, connection guidelines, etc.... So, take your time and
keep on reading.

UNPACKING AND WARRANTY

Open the packaging and take out the PowerMate. Detach the FX unit displays' protective foil. In addition to
this owner's manual you will fi nd the mains supply cord and the warranty card. Please check, if the warranty
registration form is fi lled out correctly. Only when this form is completed, you will be able to apply for warranty
claims. We grant 36 months of warranty, starting with the date of purchase. Therefore, we would like to ask you
to also keep the original certifi cate of purchase together with the warranty certifi cate.Keeping all papers and the
original packaging of the device is always recommendable. Not only do they come in handy in case of a warranty
claim but also when re-selling an appliance.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

Always install the PowerMate on an even surface to allow for suffi cient airfl ow during the operation. The device
is equipped with electronically controlled ventilators to protect the power amplifi er against thermal overload.
The direction of the airfl ow is front to rear. Fresh, cold air enters the mixer at its lower front side and warm air
leaves the device through the ventilation louvres in the rear panel. Do not cover the frontal or the rear ventilation
louvres. Otherwise the PowerMate automatically enters the protect mode to prevent a thermal overload situation.
When the protect mode is engaged, the device is not going to be damaged. But during this period of time regular
operation is impossible.In case the PowerMate is installed in a 19" rack system, you have to allow at least 2 HU of
free space above and 1 HU below the device. Of course you can cover the empty space with special plates that
also have ventilation louvres.Before establishing the mains supply connection, please make sure that the device
matches the voltage and frequency of your local mains supply. Check the label next to the mains switch. When
switching the power on, the internal ventilators will run for about 2 seconds at full speed to give you an acoustical
signal that the PowerMate entered the operation mode. In addition dust particles that might have gotten into the
device get blown out.For a secure connection the speaker outputs on the PowerMate's rear panel are provided
through professional standard Speakon connectors. The pin assignment of these sockets is 1+ (hot) and 1- (cold).
