DESCRIPTIONS
In a world of plethora and mass production, quality, functionality and design are more important than ever. We at DYNACORD
design and manufacture fi rst-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 confi guration 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 fi eld 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 fi lters, 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 effi ciently suppresses switching noise.
Separate pre/post fader switching of the AUX 3+4 busses is provided within the master section. Two feedback fi lters 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 fl anging 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 fl ight-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
fi nd the mains supply cord and the warranty card. Please check, whether the warranty registration form is fi lled 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 certifi cate of
purchase together with the warranty certifi cate.
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 suffi cient airfl ow for all units in the rack.
Operating the CMS only in an ambient temperature range b5°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 fi rst 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 infl uence 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 fl uids 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 fi re hazard.
