Dynacord PowerMate 600 MK3 Powered Mixer

General

Dynacord's PowerMate 600 Mk3 is a mixer with a built-in amplifier and effects. It is a great all-in-one device that is unfamiliar with the word 'compromise'. This PM 600 Mk3 produces 2x 1,000 Watts at 4 Ohms and is therefore very powerful, to say the least. This powered mixer has eight channels: four microphone/line channels, two microphone/stereo USB channels and two stereo line inputs. Thanks to its relatively light weight and expansive functions, this PowerMate is the perfect choice for those who favour a great-sounding professional mixer over one with many channels.

The Mixer section of the PM 600 Mk3

This Dynacord gives you control over eight channels, each with its own gain/trim control, three-part tone control, separate potentiometers for FX, AUX and Mon-send, a mute button, a PFL button and volume fader. The built-in double 24-bit effect section can be accurately controlled via the large rotary knob and the LED screen. There are 20 user presets present to save your effect settings. You can also use the screen to access and edit the advanced system settings. Both effect channels are equipped with a fader and an on/off button. They can be variably routed so you can send an effect mix to the master channel and a different one to the monitors. The master's tone control consists of a nine-channel stereo graphic equalizer that allows you to accurately tune the overall mix to your liking while adjusting it to the acoustic conditions of different locations.

Digital Audio Interface

The PowerMate 600 Mk3 gives you two stereo channels in the form of USB 1-2 and USB 3-4 on Super Channels 5-6 and 7-8. Connect a PC or Mac via the USB port and you can send out four signals simultaneously, which is very convenient if you want to play (background) music and for recording. This interface has 24-bit resolution and supports sampling rates of up to 96 kHz, bringing it up to studio-grade quality. A DVD with Cubase LE software is included so you can start recording with your PowerMate straight away. There are MIDI inputs and outputs on the back of this mixer so you can easily integrate it into your existing (studio) setup and effects.
