HISTORY

German Engineering Excellence
FOR MORE THAN 60 YEARS, DYNACORD HAS BEEN ONE OF
THE MOST INNOVATIVE AND SUCCESSFUL MANUFACTURERS
OF PROFESSIONAL AUDIO EQUIPMENT.

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 enterprises 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, continued 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 products to all corners of the globe.

QUALITY WITH SYSTEM

With the introduction of the Bosch Production System
(BPS) at the Straubing works, the brand DYNACORD is
further enhancing its already legendary reputation for
the highest production quality and reliability.
Quality with system is assured by the BPS worldwide in
all Bosch production centres, since absolutely identical
indicators, equipment and processes are applied
systematically throughout the enterprise. Decisions
about which products to produce in which plant are
primarily based on core areas of competence.
The same goes for the development. The ﬁrst measures to
guarantee quality are applied as early as the development phase of a product, where the ‘thermal and
mechanical stability’, the ‘secure functioning of the
circuitry’ and the demands of quality such as the
acoustic performance and the product functions
themselves are all ascertained in advance and rigorous
tests conducted before any final decisions are taken
about the design.
Decades of experience and the most modern quality
management systems guarantee the extraordinary quality
and legendary reliability of DYNACORD products.

Since September 2006, DYNACORD has belonged
to the BOSCH concern’s Security Technology
department.
The production facility in Straubing has been considerably expanded and the work reorganized along
the lines of the Bosch Production System (BPS). Part

measurement halls. A reverberation time below one
second allows for measurements under realistic
conditions. One of the particular strengths of the
brand DYNACORD is the fact that over the many years
of its history profound know-how, covering the entire
signal chain from the mixer to the loudspeakers has
been acquired.
This advantage, coupled with its traditionally close
relationship with users, has yielded many unique
solutions to once-vexing problems and helped DYNACORD
to develop a reputation the world over as a manufacturer of top-flight audio equipment on the absolute
cutting edge of development.
Additional capacity is available at the Bosch
plant in Zhuhai, China, where the production also
conforms to the BPS and quality controls are
conducted using identical procedures and equipment.

The full-range speakers of the D-Lite
series are extremely light, mechanically
durable polypropylene cabinets for
professional portable and fixed
installation sound reinforcement
applications in small to medium-sized
venues.
The wide range of mounting accessories
available for the enclosures and their
tasteful styling permit them to be used
without problems in critical fixed installation applications. Being of polypropylene, the enclosures are capable
of withstanding the roughest handling
during transport and use. The integration

of the constant directivity HF horns into
the baffle is CAD-optimized. The robust
powder-coated steel grilles at the front
of the enclosures are backed by black
acoustic foam plastic. Both the Speakon
sockets in the connection panels are
recessed to allow the cabinets to be operated
in cramped locations.
The beveled sides of the enclosures allow
them to be used without problems in
monitor applications in which more bass
extension is required than that provided
by typical monitor loudspeakers. Robust
handles, integrated stand adapters, and
a wide range of flying and mounting

accessories facilitate the transport and
setting up of the enclosures as well as
allowing them to be ideally positioned
and aimed. Very powerful amplifiers can
be used to achieve the widest possible
dynamic range, as the loudspeakers of
the D-Lite series offer very high power handling and are for the most part
afforded additional reliable protection by
the fully electronic Voice Coil Tracking
Protection system, as well as halogen
protectors against thermal overload. The
internal passive crossovers are optimized
for long throws and even dispersion, allowing
D-Lite cabinets to be used under acoustically
unfavorable conditions.

Suitable active and passive subwoofers
implemented as vented direct-radiating
enclosures permit flexible system
configurations.

The passive varieties can, as a result of
their integrated low-pass filters, simply
be operated parallel to the various passive
full-range boxes.

The reflex systems of these subs, when
compared with conventional bass reflex
ports, are characterized by less flow loss
and less wind noise. High sound pressure
levels at very low frequencies are generated
with considerably less distortion than is
the case with conventional bass-reflex
ports.

The active single-channel subs possess
crossover outputs for the creation of
active three-way systems with e.g. the
models D 8A or D 11A. The three-channel
subs already possess the requisite power
amplifiers for passive tops and permit in
the simplest manner the configuration of
so-called ‘satellite systems’.

The 12“ DL 12 BFH high-power
transducer covers the bass and
midrange up to 1.5 kHz, whilst in
the high-frequency range, an ND-2
neodymium driver is coupled with
a large-format constant Q horn
with an 80° x 40° coverage
pattern, the integration of which
into the baffle is CAD-optimized.
As with all the D-Lite cabinets
protections by halogen bulbs,
alow for high, distortion-free peak

sound levels can be generated, and
profes-sional power amplifiers can
be used the rated outputs of which
are the same as the peak values of
the enclosures they are driving without the reliability of either being
compromised.
Whether used solo as a full-range
box or in combination with passive
subwoofers, power amplifiers from
the SL or LX series are recommended, as is the PowerMate. With

its ultra-low-distortion toroidal core
transformer, the D 12T is designed
for 100 V audio networks, whilst the
D 12R is a low-impedance, weatherresistant installation version with an
integrated PG cable.
Like the D 12, the D 12T and D 12R
are available in both black and
white. The extensive range of
optional accessories allows their
virtually unlimited use in ﬁxed installations or flown configurations.

D 12-3
FULLRANGE CABINET

DYNACORD‘s traditional and
popular 12“ / three-way concept
experiences a further dramatic
improvement in performance with
the introduction of the D 12-3.
With its voluminous bass reproduction and its uncolored,
extremely low-distortion vocal
reproduction, combined with its
transparent resolution throughout
the entire frequency range, this
lightweight full-range satellite
stands head and shoulders above
the multitude of other enclosures
on the market made from synthetic
materials. The tried-and-tested
DL 12 BFH low frequency driver,

with its high power handling,
transduces the frequency range
below 700 Hz.
The midrange is handled by an
extremely low-distortion DYNACORD
DND 6120 neodymium MF driver,
whilst a DH-3 coupled with a 90° x 50°
constant-directivity HF horn delivers
transparent reproduction of all
frequencies above 4 kHz.
Thanks to the extremely broad
(> 120°) conical dispersion
pattern in the midrange, even in
acoustically unfavorable venues
it is generally unnecessary to go
to great lengths to aim the enclo-

sures precisely at the areas to be
covered. Whether the D 12-3 is
used as a full-range box or in combination with passive subwoofers
with integrated hi-cut filters, such
as the Sub 115 or Sub 118, the
PowerMate 1000 / 1600 or power
amplifiers from the SL or LX series
are the ideal partners. The Voice
Coil Tracking Protection system
combines with halogen protectors
to provide the loudspeakers with
reliable protection against thermal
overload.
The extensive range of optional accessories allows virtually unlimited use
of the cabinet in ﬁxed installations or
flown configurations.

15-3 designs are among the
classics of pro audio history.
With just such a design to which
an ultra-modern twist has been
added, the D 15-3 sets new standards
in the area of professional polypropylene enclosures, reconciling the
highest possible sound pressure
levels, maximum power handling
and linear frequency response
with modest dimensions and
extreme lightness. Equipped with a
DYNACORD DND 15400 neodymium
loudspeaker capable of high power
handling, the D 15-3 convinces
with its powerful and natural voice
reproduction and impressive sub
bass.

For the midrange, an extremely
low-distortion DYNACORD DND
6120 neodymium loudspeaker is
used, which with its conical 120°
dispersion guarantees uncolored
reproduction of vocals and freedom from alignment problems. The
integration into the baffle of the
constant directivity high-frequency
horn, which has a nominal dispersion
angle of 90° x 50°, is CAD-optimized, whilst the DH-3 HF driver
provides transparent reproduction
of the high frequencies.
The Voice Coil Tracking Protection
system combines with halogen
protectors to provide the loudspeakers with reliable protection

against thermal overload. The extensive range of optional accessories
allows virtually unlimited use of
the cabinet in fixed installations or
flown configurations.
In addition to delivering excellent
results in its role as a pure, fullrange box, the D 15-3 can also be
connected directly to a passive
subwoofer with an integrated
hi-cut filter, such as the Sub 118,
and run in parallel, in which case
no additional amplifier is required.
The ideal drivers for full-range or
full-range / sub combinations are
the professional power amplifiers
of the DYNACORD SL and LX series or the PowerMate.

SUBWOOFER

The DYNACORD Sub 112 is a
vented, direct-radiating cabinet
equipped with a high-power
DYNACORD DND12S400 neodymium
woofer boasting power handling
of 400 W (rated) and 1600 W
(peak).
The conical vent system results in
less flow loss and lower air noise
than conventional vented designs.
High sound pressure levels are
also generated at low frequencies
with significantly less distortion
than by conventional bass reflex
vents. The Sub 112 contains a
passive low-pass filter with a slope

of 6 dB / octave. The Sub 112
can therefore be used directly in
parallel to appropriate full-range
cabinets, e.g. the DYNACORD D 8,
if extended bass reproduction is
required.
The Sub 112 cabinet is composed
of birch plywood 15 mm-thick.
All corner joints and braces are
grooved and glued. The cabinet‘s
surface is painted with a robust,
dual component lacquer finish.
The acoustic foam and powder
coated steel grille at the front
protect the DND12S400 woofer
from harm during transportation

and against the depredations of
inclement weather. The connection
panel offers two 4-pin Speakon
sockets (INPUT / THRU) for a more
secure connection and the easy daisychaining of cabinets. A threaded
pole adapter is recessed in the top
of the Sub 112 cabinet for the swift
and safe pole-mounting of suitable
full-range cabinets. The cabinet is
equipped with four large rubber feet
for greater stability. Two handles on
the side make it possible to carry
the device easily and safely.
A hard-wearing protective cover is
available as an optional accessory.

SUBWOOFER
The Sub 115 is a vented direct-radiating
enclosure with an Electro-Voice EVS 15S
woofer, which offers high power handling.
As a reﬂex system the High-Speed Laminar
Vent (HSLV) is used. Compared to conventional bass reflex vents, airflow loss
and air noise are considerably reduced
by HSLV technology. High sound pressure
levels can be generated at low frequencies
with considerably less distortion than is
possible with conventional bass-reflex
designs.

SUB 115 AND SUB 118

Like almost all the loudspeakers
of the D-Lite series, the 15“ / 18“
subwoofers, too, are reliably
protected against thermal overload
by the fully electronic Voice Coil
Tracking Protection system and
halogen protectors respectively.
Extremely powerful amplifiers can
therefore be used to achieve the
widest possible dynamic range,

without any thermal overloading of
the voice coils. Instead of a disruptive
shutdown like those produced by
conventional safety circuits, VCTP
implements a gentler reining-in
of the power to safe limits („soft
switching“) whenever any overloading
occurs.
For universal use in combination
with full-range tops such as the D 12,

D 12-3 or D 15-3, the Sub 115 and
Sub 118 are equipped with hi-cut
filters to allow their simple and unproblematic connection in parallel

The Sub 115 has the same styling
and footprint as the active 3-channel
PowerSub 315 and is therefore
the ideal choice to give powerful
emphasis to the bass in active
systems.

SUB 115 AND SUB 118

Sub 115 and
Sub 118
SUBWOOFER

Like the Sub 115, the Sub 118
is implemented as a direct-radiating
vented subwoofer with a HighSpeed Laminar Vent.
Offering extremely high power
handling (700 W RMS and 2800 W
peak power), the DYNACORD LFS
18700 low frequency driver generates
a powerful and distortion-free bass
foundation that reaches all the way
down to 30 Hz and generates sound
pressure levels as high as 132 dB.
The enclosures of both subwoofers
are made from birch multiplex with
a durable dual-component coating.
The upper bowl handle contains an
integrated M 20 screw to accommodate a mounting pole.
Suitably equipped full-range cabinets
can therefore be mounted directly above the subwoofers with a
consequent saving of space. The
enclosures are equipped with eight
large feet, four robust casters on
the back, and ergonomically designed
bowl handles to ensure easy transportation and safe setting-up.

POWERSUB 112

PowerSub 112
POWERED SUBWOOFER

The PowerSub 112 is the ideal
bass extension for powered
full-range cabinets such as the
D 8A.
It is very light and despite its extremely compact dimensions provides
a very powerful and deep bass
foundation. The vented design gives
the PowerSub 112 a very musical,

tight and voluminous sound, quite
unlike that of the band-pass solutions
widely encountered in this product
class. The Class D power ampliﬁer
module delivers 200 W RMS / 400 W
IHF-A and is equipped with an integrated crossover with a Mid / High
output. The polarity can be reversed
should other system components
require it.

POWERSUB 212

PowerSub 212
POWERED SUBWOOFER

The PowerSub 212 is an
extremely compact, high-powered
subwoofer with 2 x 12“ drivers
and a 2 x 200 W RMS / 2 x 400 W
IHF-A Class D power amplifier.
The integrated stereo crossover
also supports the creation of active
three-way systems with mono sub
and active full-range cabinets (see
System Combinations below).

The PowerSub 212 is the ideal
partner for devices like the D 8A or
D 11A and convinces with a deep
bass foundation and very high
sound pressure levels. As is the
case with the PowerSub 112, the
reproduction remains clean and
distortion-free even at the edges
of its bandwidth.
Four smooth-running casters are
provided for easier transportation.

POWERSUB 312

PowerSub 312
POWERED SUBWOOFER

The PowerSub 312 powered
12“ subwoofer, which is equipped
with an integrated three-channel
Class D power amplifier with a
total output of 1300 W / RMS,
was specially conceived to permit
the swift and simple creation of a
subwoofer satellite system.
As satellites, two passive loudspeaker
systems such as the DYNACORD
D 8 are needed. You only need to
connect them to the Speakon outputs provided for the purpose. The
„X-Over“ switch offers a choice of
three discrete frequencies for the
crossover between the subwoofer
and the satellites: 70 Hz, 100 Hz
and 140 Hz, whilst the „Sub Level“
control allows you to adjust the output
of the PowerSub 312 in the range
from -8 dB to +10 dB. The PowerSub
312 is made from multiplex birch
plywood and capable of withstan-

ding the toughest challenges during
transportation as well as in use.
The integrated lightweight 800 W +
2 x 250 W digital power ampliﬁer is
perfectly attuned in every respect
to the integrated DYNACORD DND
12S400 woofer to maximize the dynamic range and audio quality and
ensure that the woofer is invariably
driven within its optimum working
range.
To provide further assurance that
these operating limits are respected,
the performance is supervised by
additional protective circuitry such
as voice coil protection, DC / HF protection, audio limiters, back EMF
protection and thermal protection.
Together these ensure that even
when the most extreme demands
are placed upon the system under
the most unfavorable conditions,
the PowerSub 312 continues to

operate ﬂawlessly. The use of
„Class D Digital Technology“ ensures
that there is considerably less power
dissipation than in normal Class AB
designs. The thermal load on the
components is therefore markedly
reduced.
The enclosure is coated with 2K
lacquer, which is extremely scratchresistant and proof against rough
handling during transportation.
A robust, powder-coated steel
grille protects the woofer against
mechanical damage. All the control
elements are recessed to provide
optimal protection of the PowerSub 312’s most sensitive parts even
during transportation. For greater
carrying comfort, the enclosure is
furnished with two sturdy handles,
whilst an integrated threaded pole
adaptor allows you to make optimal
use of precious space on stage.

POWERSUB 315

PowerSub 315
POWERED SUBWOOFER
The PowerSub 315 is an
powered vented subwoofer
featuring the novel High-Speed
Laminar Vent design.
Weighing a mere 45 kg, the lightweight enclosure accommodates
all the electronics and audio processors in addition to the switchable
stereo crossover (80 Hz / 100 Hz /
160 Hz) and four Class D power
ampliﬁer blocks delivering a combined
output of 2000 W.
This is the ideal centerpiece for a
high-powered satellite system.
Two bridged blocks provide the

integrated 15“ DYNACORD LFS
1008 subwoofer with a total of
1,000 W (RMS) / 8 Ω and 2 x 500 W
(RMS) / 4 Ω are made available to the
connected satellites.
The subwoofer level is continuously
adjustable and you can select between three different sub / satellite
crossover frequencies ranging
from 80 Hz to 160 Hz. To provide
particularly powerful reinforcement
of the low frequency range, two
passive (e.g. DYNACORD Sub 115)
subwoofers can be driven by the
PowerSub 315. In this mode, the
integrated sub power amplifiers

are switched over from 1 x 1000 W /
8 Ω to 2 x 500 W / 4 Ω. In a fullyexpanded system, the PowerSub
315 can drive a total of four 8 Ω
satellites and an additional two
passive 8 Ω subwoofers without
any difficulty.
Packed in an extremely robust but
compact multiply birch multiplex
enclosure with castors included
in the delivery, the PowerSub 315
offers easy transport and safe
handling. An M20 threaded adapter
for a mounting pole is integrated
into the bowl handle on top of the
subwoofer.

CROSSOVERS

Throughout the VariLine series,
only selected components of the
highest quality are used.
These include not only the crossovers and signal processors but
also DYNACORD‘s innovative protective circuits: the individual loudspeaker components are safeguarded from thermal overload by the
all-electronic Voice Coil Tracking
Protection system as well as halogen
protectors. VariLine loudspeakers
can therefore be driven by extremely powerful amplifiers to obtain
the widest possible dynamic range
without their voice coils sustaining
damage – even when operating
errors occur. Furthermore, any
thermal overload triggers a ‚soft‘
power reduction, free from the distracting switching noise that is the
bugbear of conventional protective
circuits. The 12“ and 15“ models
offer the additional option of switching to active two-way operation.

HORNS

CONSTRUCTION

The large-format VariLine
constant directivity HF horns have
been optimized using advanced
CAD software and can be rotated
through 90° for horizontal applications.

VariLine enclosures are made
from extremely rugged, multiply
birch with a dual-component
finish sufficiently resilient to
withstand the roughest of handling
on the road and on stage.

As well as exemplarily low distortion,
these horns are remarkable for the
very low frequencies at which they
retain their directivity. The smaller
enclosures are equipped with
Electro-Voice DH3 titanium domes,
whilst the VL 122 and larger
models feature Electro-Voice ND6
neodymium drivers with 3“ voice
coils and 1.4“ exits. These advantageous horn / driver configurations provide crisp and powerful
high-resolution HF reproduction.

The front is protected by a sturdy
powder-coated steel grille lined
with high quality acoustic foam.
The logo can be rotated through
90° and therefore looks right whether
the enclosures are mounted vertically or horizontally. The 12“ and
15“ enclosures are asymmetric,
which not only optimizes them for
ﬂoor monitoring but also facilitates
the creation of clusters.

COMPONENTS

LOUDSPEAKERS

VariLine loudspeakers are
equipped with extremely lowdistortion, state-of-the-art
drivers that provide not only a
linear frequency response but
also a wide dynamic range and
high power handling.
The 6“, 12“ and 15“ transducers
are armed with neodymium magnets
– which, incidentally, contributes
significantly to the exceptional
lightness of VariLine cabinets.

INSTALLATION HARDWARE

A wide range of installation
hardware is available for VariLine
fullrange cabinets providing
classic three-point eyebolt
hanging, wall or ceiling bracket
mounting and, even more convenient, three-level adjustable
mounting.

FLYING BRACKETS

Flying brackets are optional
accessories for precise loudspeaker
aiming at the listening areas.
In installation applications, the
bracket can be equipped with
truss clamps for flying while an
adapter enables stand mounting.
A TV spigot enables easy changing
from truss to stand mounting while
additional adapters provide maximum
flexibility for a comprehensive
range of applications.

Their very high sensitivity (94 dB /
97 dB @ 1 W / 1 m) and power
handling make them stand out in
their class.
Extremely low-distortion DND 6130-16
neodymium drivers transduce the
low frequencies and midrange,

while a 90° x 40° HPT94 constant
directivity horn handles everything
above. This is driven by Electro-Voice‘s
brilliant and clean DH3 titanium
dome and can be rotated easily
through 90° when the cabinets are
operated in a horizontal position.
Recessed Speakon connectors
enable the VL 62 and VL 262 to
be placed close to walls. Two M10
threaded inserts in the side of the
VL 262 are provided for the FB VL 262
bracket, which allows the cabinet

to pivot on both the vertical and

low distortion and impressive maximum SPL. Large format HF horns
with Electro-Voice ND6 drivers
provide balanced directivity well
below the crossover frequency and
clear, detailed HF reproduction.
In horizontal applications – especially
when used as monitors and in highquality installations – the radiation of
the midrange and higher frequencies
can be optimized by rotating the
horns.
The 12“ and 15“ models can be
used in full-range mode or switched

The vented SUB 18 and SUB 28
direct radiators have been
designed for subwoofer use in
active multi-way systems.
The superior transient response of
the classic bass reﬂex construction
also makes them suitable for medium
to large bass arrays.
The premium 700 W RMS longexcursion woofers boast extremely
low THD, and the reliable, all-electronic Voice Coil Tracking Protection
prevents thermal overload of the
100 mm sandwich voice coils.

For maximum dynamics, the Sub
models can be driven by extremely
powerful amplifiers; thermal overload triggers a virtually inaudible
‚soft‘ power reduction.
The 18 mm multiply birch enclosures feature a rugged dual component structured ﬁnish. The woofers
are protected against damage and
inclement weather by a sturdy
powder-coated steel grille lined
with high quality acoustic foam.
Wheel kits with four 100 mm
factory-assembled ‚Blue Wheels‘
are available as options.

Light Weight 19 kg
Switchable to Biamp Mode
FIR and IIR Presets available

The DYNACORD CXM 15 is a
lightweight wedge for professional
monitoring applications. The
DYNACORD DCX15450 two-way
15“ / 1.4“ transducer uses a
coaxially mounted HF unit and
can be used in passive or bi-amped
operating mode.
The acoustic crossover frequency
between the 15“ low-frequency
transducer and the 1.4“ mid-high
compression driver is at 1.2 kHz. The
slope of the built-in passive crossover network is 12 dB / octave.
Extremely precise vocal definition
is assured by the comparatively
low crossover frequency and the
coaxial transducer design. Power
amplifiers are connected to the
CXM 15 via Speakon NL4MPR

connectors. The pin assignment in
passive mode is 1+ / 1-. Switching
from passive mode to bi-amped
mode is performed by operation of
a slider switch. In bi-amping mode,
pins 1+ / 1- are connected to the
15“ low frequency section of the
CXM 15 and pins 2+ / 2- to the 1.4“
mid-high-frequency section.
The CXM 15 is equipped with three
Speakon sockets switched in parallel.
This simpliﬁes the daisy-chaining of
multiple wedges and pole-mounted
CXM 15 cabinets. The 1.4“ MF/HF
compression driver is safeguarded
against thermal overload by the
fully-electronic Voice Coil Tracking
Protection system, which exhibits
„soft“ switching characteristics,
sparing audiences the annoying

clicks and pops that are the bugbear
of conventional solutions. Both
FIR and IIR presets are available
for a wide variety of operating
modes. The CXM 15 is constructed
from birch plywood and therefore
extremely resistant to abuse on
the road. All cabinet connections
are slotted and glued. The surface
is protected by a hard-wearing
textured finish.
A powder-coated steel grille backed
by acoustic foam protects the
loudspeaker components from accidental damage. A recessed adapter
is provided to facilitate pole-mounting. Handles have been integrated
into both sides of the CXM 15.
A version of the CXM 15 in white is
also available: the CXM 15W.

POWERED 2-WAY CABINET
The perfect plug & play monitor
solution for a great many applications,
the AM 12 is armed with a
DYNACORD LFT 3008 12“ woofer
and a constant directivity horn for
the midrange and high frequencies.
The integrated full-range Class H
power amplifier delivers 300 W to
the Lo channel, whilst the HF ampliﬁer

supplies the Hi channel with
60 W. Thanks to the wide variety
of available connection and programming options (Mic, Line and
Aux) and the possibility of expanding the system through the addition
of a passive monitor box, the AM 12
is capable of functioning either as
a complete monitor system or as
a small PA as well as being suit-

able for multimedia applications.
Additional tools are offered by the
acoustic processing section: the
Lo EQ is an adjustable LPN filter to
control the punch; the Mid EQ is a
4 kHz DIP filter that can be used
to rein in the aggression of horn
sections; whilst the High EQ allows
you to increase or decrease the
brilliance according to taste.

In a world of excess and mass
production, quality, functionality
and design remain decisive
factors. We at DYNACORD
develop and manufacture firstclass products – „Made in Germany“
– that not only supply detailed,
optimized solutions to real
problems encountered in day-today practice but are a joy to use,
year after year.
In fact, achieving the highest possible
quality levels and providing full and
lasting satisfaction to our customers
are our abiding and paramount objectives: obligations that admit of no
exception. Complete audio systems
with plug & play functionality have
for many years been an indispensable
part of the DYNACORD sound reinforcement range. The Xa 2 system

FX 20

set new standards in terms of audio
performance, reliability and value for
money. Where the aim is to achieve
the highest on-axis sound pressure
levels possible, fully horn-loaded
systems remain the ﬁrst choice.
Typical Top 40 events, city openair events and mobile DJ events in
which areas of up to 1,000 square
meters have to be covered with
throws of up 40 meters – these are
ideal applications for the Xa 2 systems from DYNACORD. High-quality
neodymium components, combined
with Constant Q horns and patented Planar Waveguide bass horns
deliver maximum volume levels
combined with the highest possible
audio quality. Active two-way power
ampliﬁers using Class H technology
with switched-mode power supplies
and audio processors as well as all

XA 4000

the requisite protective circuits are
capable of driving the widest variety
of system conﬁgurations with absolute reliability. Thanks to the VCTP
protective circuits in the cabinets
– the personal bodyguards of the
loudspeakers – the maximum dynamic range is achieved along with the
highest level of reliability.
Light and easy to transport,
DYNACORD complete systems can
be set up extremely quickly thanks
in part to their clear and intuitive
system cabling. These are advantages of real practical importance. So,
too, are the time saved and peace
of mind afforded by DYNACORD‘s
extensive range of TÜV-certiﬁed accessories, such as the FG 600 Flying
Grid (see Cobra), rigging ropes and
wedges that satisfy even the most

adapt to a multitude of very different sound reinforcement tasks and
venue acoustics of all descriptions,
the requisite Xa 2 components can
be conﬁgured swiftly and simply
without any need for complex

or programming of limiters. If at
an open-air event extreme sound
pressure levels are required in the
sub-bass, one sub per side can be
added. If the brass brand playing in
a marquee needs extremely broad
coverage and fewer subs, a single

subwoofer but two angled tops
per side should ﬁt the bill. And if a
Top 40 band suddenly ﬁnds itself
with an audience 4,000 strong, the
same system amp is also capable of
driving three subs plus two tops as
well as additional front- or side-ﬁlls
without any difﬁculty.

SPECIAL ACCESSORIES

With the FG 600 Flying Grid,
which is available as an accessory,
the FX 12 can be flown safely and
swiftly from a truss or attached to
a genie (see Cobra). With the SE
600 Rigging Strap Extension and a
webbing strap, an entire wing
comprising multiple tops can be
aimed swiftly and accurately.

FLYING RAILS...

The four flying tracks that are
standard features of the FX 12
tops, in combination with the
CSST Flying Wires available as
accessories, make it easy to
suspend the cabinets safely from
trusses. Various detents are
provided, so that just the right
angle for each cabinet can be
obtained. Further cabinets can be
connected using CSSM Flying
Wires equipped with double studs.
The backs of both the FX 12 and
the FX 20 boast four robust
casters, whilst the tops are
furnished with two, and the
subwoofers with six, handles for
easier transportation and to
facilitate the safe stacking of the
cabinets.

FX 12
2-WAY HI-POWER TOP

The FX 12 is a fully horn-loaded
and coaxial two-way, high-power
top covering a bandwidth of 100 Hz
to 19 kHz with a maximum sound
pressure level of 134 dB / 1m.
The frequency range from 1 kHz
upwards is transduced by a neodymium ND 6-8 driver with a 3“ voice
coil and a CDH 8040-14 Constant-Q
horn, whilst the midrange from
100 Hz to 1 kHz is the responsibility of a neodymium ND 12A driver
with a large-format conical horn.
Extremely low distortion and minimal comb-filter effects whether
stacked or flown are among the
decisive advantages of conical
horns. The fully electronic Voice
Coil Tracking Protection circuitry
supervises the operating states of
the individual loudspeakers on a
permanent basis, intervening only
in the case of overload by gently

reducing the power to the speakers
(‚soft-switching‘) until a safe level
is reached. The result is the widest
possible dynamic range combined
with the highest level of operating
security.
The cabinet is made from multiply
poplar plywood covered by heavyduty needle-felt carpeting. The
front is securely protected by a
powder-coated metal grille backed
by acoustic foam. Handles at the
side and four large casters on the
rear facilitate handling.
Integrated flying tracks and rigging
strap attachment points are standard features. The use of four-pole
Speakon cables with system pin
assignments eliminates the risk
of accidental wiring errors when
connecting the Xa 4000 system power
amplifier or looping the signal
through to an FX 20 subwoofer.

09.07.10 12:21

FX 20

FX 20
PLANAR WAVEGUIDE SUB

To generate the maximum
possible sound pressure, the FX 20
subwoofer features a Planar
Waveguide bass horn and a highpower EVX 180B 18“ woofer.
It covers a bandwidth from 30 Hz
to 150 Hz with a maximum sound
pressure level of 132 dB / 1 m.
Two of these Planar Waveguide
subwoofers deliver up to 138 dB /
1 m per side, creating an extremely
dry and deep bass foundation for
Xa 2 systems. Like the top, the
18“ woofer is securely protected

against thermal overload by the
Voice Coil Tracking Protection
system, and even extremely high
power peaks are transduced
accurately and powerfully without
compromising the dynamic range.
The cabinet is made from multiply
poplar plywood 15 mm thick covered by extremely hard-wearing
needle-felt carpeting. Two FX 20
subwoofers stacked one on top
of the other reach a height of 180
cm, creating the ideal plinth for
an‚ overhead‘ stack of FX 12 tops.
Again, the use of four-pole Speakon

cables obviates the risk of wiring
errors when connecting up the
system. The Sub signal supplied by
the system power amplifier is on
Pin 1+ / 1-, and the midrange / high
frequency signal on pin 2+ / 2- is
looped through to the tops.
Four large rubber feet on the side
and the same number on the bottom
provide for safe stacking in a variety
of configurations. No fewer than
six handles and four heavy-duty
castors on the rear facilitate safe
transportation.

SYSTEM AMP
XA 4000
The Xa 4000 system amp is a two-way
(Sub-Top) power amplifier that can
either be positioned laterally – for
shorter cable runs to the cabinets – or
centrally in the rack. Only two rack
units in height and weighing a mere
8.25 kg, this Class H power amplifier
is equipped with a switch-mode power
supply of the latest generation. It outputs 1,100 W in the Sub and 900 W
in the Top channel – in each case into
4 Ω. Up to three tops and three sub-

woofers, however, can be driven reliably
and economically by a single amp. All
the requisite signal processing including
the equalization, LPN filter, low-cut filter
and active crossover, with its crossover
frequency of 140 Hz with 18 dB / octave
in a modified Butterworth structure, is
on board. From the front panel, the level
of the Sub and Top channels can be set
individually to allow optimization of the
system to the geometry and acoustics of
the room.

COBRA COMPACT LINE-ARRAY SYSTEM

In the events sound reinforcement
business, among rental companies
and in professional concert sound
applications, two quite different
loudspeaker concepts have secured
their own niches: horn-loaded
systems, which are notable for
their high degree of efﬁciency, and
line-array systems, which are

notable for their precisely deﬁned
coverage patterns.
In the rock ‘n‘ roll business in
particular, but more generally in
any sound reinforcement context
in which the emphasis is primarily
upon obtaining very high sound pressure levels, horn-loaded systems con-

tinue to be the ‚weapons of choice‘.
When multiple mid-high cabinets
are used, however, it is physically
impos-sible to eliminate altogether
the comb ﬁlter effects that result
from the less than optimal addition of
the sound waves radiating from each
cabinet. In more demanding concert
sound applications, therefore, in

which far more is expected in terms
of sound quality, line arrays have
established for themselves a secure
position in the market. Thanks to the
extremely wide horizontal radiation
pattern of line arrays, combined
with their shallow and precisely
deﬁned vertical focus, the unwanted
projection of sound waves onto
ceilings and ﬂoors can be avoided,
and, with it, the interference their
reﬂection from such surfaces would
otherwise cause. Conventional line
arrays on the market, however, are
mostly conceived exclusively as largescale, ‚ﬂying‘ sound reinforcement
systems, and despite their advantages
in terms of quality cannot always be

used for medium-sized events without quite considerable expense. In
the Cobra-2 and Cobra-4 compact
line-array systems, DYNACORD is
offering a solution optimized in
practice even for those applications
that cannot economically be served
by conventional, large-scale line
arrays. The compact and easy to
handle DYNACORD Cobra systems
in ‚ﬂown‘ but also in ‚stacked‘
conﬁgurations also make line-array
performance available for the vast
majority of those frequently encountered ‚bread and butter‘ events that
take place typically in town halls,
marquees or in cities in the open air.

at the highest level are guaranteed
with the Cobra systems, to which
the Voice Coil Tracking Protection
(VCTP) to be found in each Cobra
cabinet, serving as the personal
bodyguard of each loudspeaker
chassis, makes a valuable contribution. The fully-electronic VCPT
safety circuit monitors on a permanent basis the thermal operating
state of the individual loudspeakers
and ensures, in the event only of
overload, that the power driving it is
„gently“ reduced until a safe value
is reached. The result is the widest
possible dynamic range combined
with the maximum possible degree
of operating security.

COBRA-2 SYSTEM

Cobra-2
COMPACT LINE-ARRAY ACTIVE 2-WAY SYSTEM

The Cobra-2 system is designed
to provide high-quality sound
reinforcement for events in small
to medium-sized marquees or
halls covering distances of up to
40 meters and areas up to 1,000
square meters.
The system produces a maximum
sound pressure level of 137 dB L
and 137 dB R in the mid / high frequency range and up to 141 dB in
the bass. In its basic conﬁguration,
the Cobra-2 system comprises four
Cobra-Top mid / high cabinets,
four Cobra-Sub subwoofers, a
ready-wired and pre-programmed
system amp rack and the requisite
4-pin loudspeaker system cables
along with a set of wedges (two
2.5° wedges that can be used either
side) that make it possible to aim
the Cobra-Top cabinet to suit the

area to be covered. The system
amp racks are easily capable of
driving up to six Cobra-Top and/
or six Cobra-Sub cabinets. If it is
desired to expand the system, the
amp rack is capable of accommodating additional power amplifiers
(bass extension, front- / side-fills
or monitors) as well as supplying
them with the requisite power via
the AC connector panel.
The maximum Cobra-2 conﬁguration
that makes sense comprises two
Cobra-2 systems per side (four
Cobra-Tops and four to six CobraSubs per side). Since, however,
doubling the number of stacked or
flown Cobra-Top cabinets results
in a halving of the vertical coverage angle, particular attention
must be paid in such cases to the
aiming of the cabinets in the wing

or stack. A single Cobra-Top has
a (horizontal x vertical) coverage
pattern of 120° x 30°; this is reduced
to 120° x 15° if a second, and to
120° x 7.5° if a third, Cobra-Top is
added to the stack. When groundstacked, the Cobra-Top cabinets
can be aimed with precision at
the area to be covered through
the use of the 2.5° wedges that
are supplied as standard. If added
pressure or projection is needed in
the bass, whether due to the style
of music or to the acoustics of the
venue, Cobra-2 systems can also
be armed with Cobra-PWH bass
horns.
With two PWH cabinets (or three
Cobra-Subs) superposed, you obtain
a plinth the ideal height (180 cm)
for ground-stacking the Cobra-Top
cabinets on.

COBRA-4 SYSTEM

Cobra-4
COMPACT LINE-ARRAY ACTIVE 4-WAY SYSTEM
The active 4-way Cobra-4
System in its standard conﬁguration
is designed for throws of up to 80
meters in medium-sized marquees,
halls and open-air venues.
It is capable of generating at a
FOH position 30 meters distant a
sound pressure level of 110 dB in
the mid-high frequency range and
120 dB in the bass – exactly what
the typical Top 40 band requires.
Through the use of two Cobra-4
Tops and one Cobra-4 Far, optimum line-array performance can
be obtained even from a typical

stacked configuration without
time-consuming adjustments. For
large distances, the top position in
the stack is reserved for a Cobra-4
Far unit, which has a coverage
pattern of 90° (horizontally) and
5° (vertically) in the high frequency range.
For the low frequency and midrange,
the same components are used
as in the Cobra-4 Top, providing
the ideal extension for the lowand midrange line array. In all,
eight Cobra-PWH bass horns are
needed to generate the pressure
and projection in the bass region

required by typical Top 40 bands.
Depending upon the geometry of
the room, these can be stacked
or arranged as a horizontal bass
array.
The Cobra-4 System can be driven
either by ready-wired and pre-programmed amp racks, comprising
a controller, power amplifiers and
AF- and AC connector panels, or by
individual (user-configured) racks.
When PowerH power amplifiers are
used in conjunction with RCM-26
modules, advantage can be taken
of FIR-linearized presets.

EASE FOCUS

A very wide variety of configurations can be mechanically simulated and
checked acoustically as early as the planning stage using the software
application EASE Focus. After download of EASE Focus from DYNACORD
web site, you can consult all the electrical and mechanical specifications of
the Cobra cabinets and also calculate automatically the optimal suspension
points of the grid for different loads and rigging angles.

ALPHA X-1 AND ALPHA B-3

What was designed without
compromise remains free from
compromise: in their almost
fifteen-year history, Alpha
systems have never tasted defeat;
and their triumphant progress
continues apace, with successful
installations all over the globe.

Their legend lies not only in their
extreme reliability but also in their
extraordinarily clean (and gigantically powerful!) sound.
Alpha systems are to be found
in the most up-market, the most
fashionable and the most popular

clubs and discotheques in Las Vegas,
Miami and New York, throughout
Asia and the Middle East, and, of
course, also in Europe. The Alpha
guarantees a club enthusiastic
guests, thereby ensuring a sure
and swift return on its investment.

Alpha X-1
HORN-LOADED THREE-WAY HI-POWER LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEM
The Alpha X-1 system is a
horn-loaded, three-way loudspeaker
system.
The two vented 15“ loudspeakers
combine with a conical short horn
to deliver extremely precise and
punchy midrange and low frequency reproduction that extends right
down to 80 Hz and beyond. The 2“
high-performance driver with its

True Constant Directivity horn
(90° x 40° or 60° x 40°, according
to choice) offers in the range from
800 Hz to 8 kHz truly dynamic midhigh reproduction, rich in presence.
The brilliant high-frequency reproduction of the 90° and 60° horns is
ensured by a pair of diffraction or
ring radiators respectively. The Alpha
X-1‘s trapezoidal cabinet design

facilitates the formation of multiplecomponent clusters. The Alpha X-1
can be driven in active two-way or
active three-way mode, according to
choice. But whichever mode is selected, every loudspeaker chassis is
reliably protected by thermal circuit
breakers or halogen lamps against
critical power levels as well as shortterm thermal overload.

Alpha B-3
2 x 18” PWH SUBWOOFER-SYSTEM
The Alpha B-3 system is a 2 x 18“
PWH subwoofer system employing
Planar Waveguide technology.
A PWH horn is a planar waveguide
horn with a Helmholtz resonator
placed inside the wave guide. The
resulting 6 to 7 dB gain in SPL
in the low frequency range is a
product of the interaction between
the resonance of the waveguide

and that of the Helmholtz resonator.
At the same time, the design of the
PWH subwoofer is such as to limit
the cone‘s excursion, protecting
the diaphragm and guaranteeing
outstandingly accurate impulse
reproduction, a very wide dynamic
range, extremely low distortion,
and prolonged reliable operation.
alpha B-3 systems offer directivity in the low-frequency range

down to 30 Hz. They combine the
advantages of both direct-radiating
and horn-loaded systems, and –
thanks to their unique design – are
markedly superior to conventional
solutions.
Dynamic protections safeguard the
two 18“ speakers reliably against
critical power levels as well as
short-term thermal overload.

SYSTEM DRIVES

To drive the system, we recommend
high-performance power amplifiers from DYNACORD‘s PowerH
series equipped with the RCM-26
Digital FIR Controller. Naturally,
optimized settings (including FIR
filter linearization) are available
for alpha systems too through the
use of IRIS-Net software.
