Dynacord PowerMate 1600-3 16 Channel Powered Mixer - Secondhand

Full Description

Clean, clear amplification

Utilising powerful Class D amplification, the PowerMate can provide up to 1000 watts of power per amplifier. This technology removes the need for heat sinks, improving efficiency so more functionality can be packed into the unit whilst making it lighter and more easy to transport. An ideal solution for travelling engineers, touring bands, festivals, or installation as the heart of a live venue's audio setup, this mixer is incredibly adaptable.

Extreme connectivity

The 1600-3 offers 12 mono channels with 4 stereo channels, as well as two aux sends, effects sends, and monitor sends per channel. This makes it incredibly simple to use and flexible. Perfect for expanding with other signal processors, input sources, as a sidecar mixer, or purely for monitoring. However, it's still great for front-of-house mixing too. Plus, a built-in USB audio interface with four playback channels, four recording channels, lets you play backing tracks or playlists from computers or tablets, capture live sets in their entirety, or record in studio spaces. MIDI functionality via this USB connection also allows you to run keyboards or synthesizers live.

Deep processing possibilities

The final finishing touches and extra polish to really bring the best out of live sets relies on both internal and external processing options offered by your mixer of choice. The PowerMate shines here too, with two aux sends on each channel allowing connections to outboard gear, as well as its dual built-in effects units. The PowerMate range has become beloved for its reverbs, which are all present on this powered model, as well as delay and modulation effects, letting you add space and depth to any sound source. 100 factory presets and 20 user slots give you plenty of flexibility for saving and loading your own custom effects chains, or picking pre-designed ones by Dynacord for quickly achieving great-sounding mixes.
