DESCRIPTION
Congratulations! Your new DYNACORD MADRAS M15 is an active loudspeaker cabinet incorporating state-of-the art technology.
The MADRAS M15 mid/high frequency range is reproduced by an Electro-Voice ND6 neodymium driver with 3” voice-coil while an Electro-Voice EVX155 transmits the bass frequency range. The integrated power amplifier provides discrete low and high range channels, an integrated active frequency crossover (Linkwitz-Riley, 124Hz, 24dB/octave) and signal processing. Selecting “FULL-RANGE” or “MID-HIGH” operation is possible via switch button.
A high-efficiency Class-H power amplifier provides the low range signal. Consequential use of Class-H technology reduces power dissipation, power consumption as well as the power amp’s weight noticeably. High range audio signal amplification is realized via a separate power amplifier. Both power amp blocks are convection-cooled, resulting in no disturbing noise from running fans.
The power output capacity of 600W (460W + 140W) allows peak sound pressure levels of more than 128dB at lowest distortion rates. The achievable coverage range approximately doubles the scope of conventional passive loudspeaker systems. The wide radiation angle of 80°x 55° eliminates alignment problems inherent to narrow-angled speaker systems.
The MADRAS M15 has an extremely linear frequency response. Horizontal and vertical radiation characteristics are outstandingly smooth, which makes the MADRAS M15 resistant against acoustical feedback and therefore especially suitable for high-power monitoring applications. The fully electronic THERMAL PROTECTION prevents the transducers from being damaged by thermal overload. That’s what makes the MADRAS M15 equally suitable for a wide range of demanding applications in the rental business.
The integrated rigging-rail and adjustment-bracket allow for the trouble-free use of the MADRAS M15 in flown applications. The asymmetric birch multi-plywood enclosure is sealed with black, extremely shock- resistant structural lacquer finish. A robust, powder-coated steel grille protects the transducers against mechanical damage. Mains connection is provided via lockable PowerCon connector. Connecting an additional cabinet is possible via PowerCon mains output. Audio signal connection is provided via XLRF- type connector. An additional XLRF-type connector allows feeding the signal to another cabinet.
Two stable carrying handles and the integrated aluminum pole-mount allow for comfortable transport and trouble-free installation.
