DESCRIPTIONS

In a world of plethora and mass production, quality, functionality and design are more important than ever. We at DYNACORD design and manufacture first-class products – “Made in Germany”– that provide positive experiences through real world- optimized detail solutions. They are built to please you for a long time.

The highest degree of customer satisfaction is our supreme ambition.

Because of their comprehensive set of integrated features – like equalizer and effects units – the Compact Mixing Systems CMS 1000/ CMS 1600 and CMS 2200 are professional mixers offering an optimized all-in-one solution for basically any application. DYNACORD CMS consoles are quickly set up. Complicated rack configuration and interference-prone wiring of several single components cease to apply.

The extremely low noise and low distortion discrete microphone preamps built-into the CMS 1000 / CMS 1600 and CMS 2200 provide excellent audio quality, setting new standards in the field of professional mixer technology. Specially designed Gain Potentiometers allow ergonomic fader control and additionally provide an extended control range of 60 dB.

Group-switch-able +48V phantom power, Vocal Voicing filters, 3-channel tone control section with semi-parametric midrange, 4 AUX channels, PFL and MUTE, newly designed dust-proof ALPS-fader controls and the four almost identically laid out stereo channels with additional microphone inputs are only a few details of the professionally equipped inputs section. Master and AUX 3+4 output signals are electronically balanced and output via XLR-type connectors. Relay switching efficiently suppresses switching noise. Separate pre/post fader switching of the AUX 3+4 busses is provided within the master section. Two feedback filters in the monitor busses, master standby switch, tape input and two 7-band graphic equalizers, which can optionally be used for the master or AUX 3+4 busses complete the professional feature set of the master section. Two parallel operating and individually controllable 24-bit digital stereo effects units with 48-bit algorithms offer a total of 2 x 99 “live sound-optimized” presets in studio quality. Room and plate hall, echo and chorus reverb, mono/stereo delay, modulated delay effects like chorus or flanging as well as several special effects are comfortably selectable via up/down keys. Storing the preferred start-up presets for both effects units is possible in program mode. These presets are present instantly after powering on the mixer. The use of a global or two separate footswitches allows for global or individual switching the effects on and off. A 12V/5W litlite mixer lamp can be connected at the lamp output, which is protected against short-circuit and overload.

Stable enclosures with metal protective covers ensure trouble-free transport of the mixers without need for extra flight-cases.

Unpacking and Warranty

Open the packaging and take out the CMS. Remove the FX unit display’s protective foil. In addition to this owner’s manual you will find the mains supply cord and the warranty card. Please check, whether the warranty registration form is filled out correctly. Only when this form is completed, you will be able to apply for warranty claims. DYNACORD grants 36 months of warranty, starting with the date when you received the appliance from your local dealer. Therefore, we kindly ask you to also keep the original certificate of purchase together with the warranty certificate.

Keeping all papers and the original packaging of the device is generally recommendable, since they come in handy in case of re- selling an appliance.

Installation and Connections

Please, make sure to install the CMS in a way, so that the ventilation louvers in the bottom plate and the rear panel of the appliance are not covered. When incorporating the mixer in a rack-system, make sure to allow for sufficient airflow for all units in the rack. Operating the CMS only in an ambient temperature range between +5°C and +40°C ensures trouble-free operation.

The CMS can be operated with mains voltages in the range of 100V-240V~ / 50-60Hz.

Please make sure to connect the supplied mains cord to the appliance first and then to a wall outlet. The appliance is now operational.

Do not expose the CMS to rain, moisture, dust, vibration, direct sunlight, high ambient temperatures or the direct influence of other heat radiating sources.

When carrying the unit from a colder into a warmer environment condensation on inner parts may occur. In case of condensation you have to wait (approx. one hour) until the mixer has gained the new room temperature before operating the CMS. If solid obstacles or fluids have fallen or entered the enclosure, separate the CMS immediately from the mains and have it checked by an authorized service center before the next operation.

Do not use any spray to clean the CMS. They can damage the appliance or cause fire hazard.
