top cover to provide trouble-free transport even without a flightcase.
POWER, EFFECTS, EXTRAS - high performance AND compact
size!
PowerMate 600
The PowerMate 600 keeps up with DYNACORD's tradition of
building excellent power mixers. A tradition that already began fifty
years ago. With the PowerMate 600, the integration of mixing console,
power amplifier and effect unit into a single, compact enclosure, without
giving up on the performance capabilities of any of the incorporated parts,
reaches a new peak. Never before, powerful performance, useful features,
and quality sound were available in such compact size and for that little
amount of money.
POWER?
Despite the fact that the PowerMate 600 is extremely compact
and small, it offers an output power capacity of 2 x 300 watts at 4 ohms
providing an immense dynamic range with an outstandingly little amount
of distortion and intermodulation. In addition to that, the power amplifiers
employ numerous protective and processor-controlled functions. For instance
the DYNACORD patented LPN-Filter: it eliminates common errors in the transient
behavior of typical PA-cabinets and in this way provides a powerful bass
response that is dry to the bone.Protection circuitry against short-circuit,
RF or DC at the output and thermal overload guarantee highest operational
security and reliability. Of course, all power output connections are
carried out as Speakon-type sockets.
EFFECTS?
How about a doubling effect and some reverb for the vocals? Or
how about a nice and smooth hall room for your guitar? Or maybe you would
like a slightly flanging chorus effect for your E-Piano to create the
magic sound of the legendary Fender Rhodes? Using the PowerMate 600 the
realization of these effects is no problem anymore. And, grace to the
user and application-oriented programming of the presets, selecting the
desired effect can be done by pushing a SINGLE button. Two parallel operating,
mixable 18-Bit stereo digital effect units provide the possibility to
create sounds that you would normally expect from very expensive studio
equipment only. Everything is offered: rooms and plates, echo-reverb,
chorus-reverb, mono/stereo-delay, modulated delays like chorus or flanger
and a whole selection of special FX. The 2 x 99 presets can be conveniently
selected via the UP/Down buttons and the according program numbers will
appear on the display. The effect-return signals are added to the master-mix
via fader controls.If desired, the effect signal can also be routed to
the stage-monitors, which provides an improved sound and therefore perfect
control for the artist on stage. Switching the effects is possible through
the “FX ON” - switch with integrated LED for status indication
or via foot-switch-controller (optionally available: FS 11) So - everything
is there to provide you with an effective sound!
EXTRAS?
Many little (or better to say: big) extras make the PowerMate
600 the all-round solution, which it actually is. Several of these extras
reveal their potential when operating the PowerMate: Of course, even on
first sight, the enclosure is extremely compact and well designed - but
being installed into your keyboard-rack system or when you are looking
for a place to store at home, you will really learn to appreciate the
benefits of this solution. Another point is the quest of transportation:
To wrap a power mixer in a blanket is not professional at all. A flight-case
mostly is a severe question of money - but the rigid metal cover of the
PowerMate offers complete protection during transportation and it also
looks good. The recessed handles make transportation so easy that it becomes
a kids game, literally.
The six Mic/Line channels incorporate electronic balanced XLR-type and
phone type input connectors, gain controls that allow optimally matching
the input levels, and 3-band EQ-sections with perfectly tailored start
frequencies.
The ,,FX”- control determinesthe amount of the input signal that
is sent to the effect units. The ,,AUX” - control sets the input
signal level that is sent to AUX-output, which can be used for the connection
of the stage-monitor system.
The ,,PAN”-control allows you to adjust the position of the input
signal in the stereo image while the precise and smooth setting of a channel's
volume is done via the corresponding 60mm fader control.
The cahnnel pairs 7/8 and 9/10 are configured as true stereo channels
and are meant for the connection of stereo signal sources, like keyboards,
drum computers, CD-players, etc. Additionally, the PowerMate 600 has a
,,2Track send/return” connector which allows the direct feed from
cassette decks or MD-recorders. The 2Track send/return stays active even
though the PowerMate is set to ,,STANDBY”. In this way all input
channels are muted without the need to change the actual fader positions.Nevertheless,
the tape deck signal can pass, which for instance provides the possibility
to transmit intermission music, where the program's volume is adjusted
using the ,,2TRACK RET”-control.
The 2 x 7-band stereo equalizer allows precise matching of the transmitted
signal to individual environmental and acoustic conditions. The centre
frequencies of the seven bands are set to values that allow the achievement
of optimum results.
An additional monaural output and a metering
instrument indicating the master level complete
the output section. As you can see - a lot of extras show a lot of effect!
