Dynacord Speaker manual

HISTORY

In 1945 Werner Pinternagel, who was an engineer, founded a workshop for the repair of radio devices in the Lower Bavarian town of Pilsting. The development and manufacture of audio amplifiers, which he began at the same time, became a particular passion.

These pioneering experiences formed the foundation for over

60 years of expertise in professional power amplifier technology — expertise upon which the brand DYNACORD is able to draw today. Early results included the KI cinema amplifier with its output of 25 watts. The devices of the company, which

in the meantime had moved to Landau and by then boasted a staff of four employees, still bore the brand name ‘Dynaphon’.

From 1948 onwards, mixing and portable amplifiers bearing the name DYNACORD were being sold to an ever expanding circle of customers. Within a few years, the rapidly growing company had become one of the leading enter- prises in the still young audio technology industry. Already in 1954, the manual workshop have given way to industrial production as the product portfolio continued to expand. The high-caliber, pioneering

and often visionary products have been presented ever since at all important international trade fairs and marketed successfully throughout the world. To make it possible to satisfy the enormous demand, DYNACORD moved to Straubing in 1958. The workforce, which at that time numbered 80 employees, con- tinued to expand rapidly. Several times, the production facility was renovated or expanded.

Finally, in 1986 a new plant was opened in which more than 500 employees now develop, produce and dispatch the company’s pro- ducts to all corners of the globe.
