Congratulations! Your new DYNACORD MADRAS M212 is an active loudspeaker cabinet
incorporating state-of-the art technology.
The MADRAS M212 mid/high frequency range is reproduced by an Electro-Voice ND6 neodymium driver
with 3” voice-coil while two Electro-Voice ND12A transmits the bass frequency range. The integrated
power amplifier provides discrete low and high range channels, an integrated active frequency crossover
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
131dB 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 M212 has an extremely linear frequency response. Horizontal and vertical radiation
characteristics are outstandingly smooth, which makes the MADRAS M212 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 M212 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 M212 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.
