This new lineup includes ultra-compact, single-channel mixer amplifiers and power amplifiers designed for background music and paging applications that do not require life safety compliance, complex networking, or high SPL levels. The U Series is an excellent alternative for smaller projects compared to Dynacord’s other commercial amplifier lines, which are more suited for mid-sized to large installations.

Professional Amplification and Versatility

The U Series offers professional-quality amplification for single zones in high-impedance installations in smaller commercial spaces such as cafes, shops, and offices. With various power output options, the U Series meets the specific needs of different settings.

Product Lineup and Performance

The series includes six models with a range of power options: four mixer amplifiers (30, 60, 120, and 240 watts) and two power amplifiers (120 and 240 watts). These amplifiers can be used in standalone applications or integrated into existing systems, with the power amplifiers serving as auxiliary amps in larger designs, such as for new zones that require amplification.

Features and Configuration

The U Series mixer amplifiers provide easy front access for main gain, channel levels, and tone adjustments. They include two mic/line inputs and two aux inputs for connecting external devices like microphones, paging stations, or music players. The models support high-Z or low-Z speaker lines, feature phantom power for microphone inputs, and include a switchable high-pass filter at 120 Hz. Additional features include an emergency override input, a chime for paging stations, and VOX ducking. Configuration is simple with DIP switches located on the rear of the devices, and a contact closure port allows for remote power on/off functionality.

Secure and Reliable Operation

The two power amplifier models have controls located at the back to prevent unauthorized changes, adhering to a “set and forget” principle. Dynacord’s U Series ensures reliable operation under challenging conditions thanks to its sophisticated protection package, including overload and short-circuit protection and a limiter to prevent accidental overdriving.

Easy Installation and Compact Design

The U Series is designed for straightforward installation without requiring advanced technical skills. The amplifiers are just a single rack unit high and half a rack width wide, making them space-efficient. They can be rack-mounted, placed on a table-top, or installed under a table, with included brackets facilitating various installation options. Two amplifiers can fit side by side in a single rack unit, effectively doubling the channel count and output power.

Quality and Reliability

Dynacord’s commitment to quality ensures that all U Series amplifiers undergo rigorous testing at the company’s Reliability Test Center in Straubing, Germany. These tests ensure the amplifiers can withstand extreme thermal conditions, physical stress, and long-term heavy use when driving speakers at maximum loads.

Dynacord’s U Series offers six ultra-compact, cost-effective mixer amplifiers and amplifier models ideal for smaller commercial applications. With straightforward setup and flexible installation options, the U Series enhances ambiance and communications in commercial spaces, maintaining Dynacord’s reputation for reliability and quality.
