Dynacord PowerMate 600-3 8-Channel 2 x 1000W Powered Mixer

More than a mixer. Literally - it's also a USB interface, power amp, effects processor, and graphic EQ. The Dynacord PowerMate 600-3 packs a huge variety of technology into an intuitive and easy to use package.

Sound for any ensemble in any venue. The PowerMate is flexible and powerful enough to take on anything you throw at it and make a great sound. Ample control options feed your sound to the class-D amplifier and two 1000 watt outputs.

Every aspect of your live sound will be flexible and powerful. For the front of house mix two DSP processors with 100 presets make getting great sound simple. For monitoring there are three AUX buses, one switchable from pre to post fader, resulting in hugely flexible monitoring possibilities.

Once you've got a great mix you can send it to passive speakers and a DAW with nothing more than a couple of cables and a couple of clicks. The PowerMate handles it all.

High-Performance Power Amplifier

Taking full advantage of Class-D amplifier technology, the 600-3 delivers audio quality of the highest grade. The mixer provides an RMS output of 2 x 1,000-watts into 4Ω and generates a small amount of heat for a safe, reliable performance.

The power supply is monitored by a microprocessor-controlled switching power supply to save weight and can be used anywhere in the world thanks to the universal automatic mains switching.

Premium Channel Features

There are 4 mic/line level channels available onboard the PowerMate 600-3 and each input features a variety of professional features for a smooth performance. The XLR microphone inputs provide an almost silent operation with extremely low noise, low-hum and incredibly low distortion for low impedance microphones.

Condenser microphone can be used thanks to the inclusion of centrally switchable phantom power. These channels are all adjustable with gain control, switchable 80Hz low-cut filter and an intuitive 3-band EQ for excellent sound shaping abilities.

Additionally, there is an FX send, AUX send, MONitor send and panorama and balance controls. Channels 5-6 and 7-8 are also available through USB inserts in 1-2 and 3-4. The stereo line channels on 9-10 and 11-12 provide users with electronically balanced jack inputs to allow connection of electronic instruments such as keyboards, drum-machines, guitars and bass guitars or even additional hardware such as mixers. Users can also connect a CD or MP3 player via the RCA inputs. Each input channel includes a signal/peak LED for simple motioning and there is an efficient mute and PFL button available for use.

Professional Audio Interface

Presented in 24-bit resolution, the digital interface supports sampling rates up to 96kHz for a professional level performance and supplies 2 stereo channels. Available for input and output use at the same time, the USB sends include master L and R with AUX and MON signals. 4 channels can be sent in either direction through the USB port on your PC or Mac and setup is easy with the inclusion of a DVD with Cubase LE and USB drivers.

Flexible Effect Processing

With 2 x independent 24-bit stereo effects processors, sound engineers can easily mix multiple sounds together with FX 1 and FX 2. Both sections provide 100 presets including studio-grade reverb, delay and modulation effects. The delay time within the delay effect can be matched to the beat of the music using a tap key and similar effects can also be created and stored with 20 user memories available.

Optimal Speaker Protection

The PowerMate menu allows users to set matching continuous power output levels to any connected loudspeaker for a safe and reliable performance. Damage caused by thermal overload within the loudspeaker can be avoided via dynamic limiting of the maximum output power without effecting the dynamic range. The protection component constantly monitors the energy supplied to the loudspeakers in order to limit the levels when there is a danger of overloading.
