Dynacord PowerMate 600-3 8-Channel Compact Power Mixer

The PowerMate 600-3 folds six devices into a single 8-channel chassis: mixing console, two effects units, graphic equalizer, USB audio interface and power amplifier. That is the case for a power mixer at all, and Dynacord's argument is that each of those sections is built to the standard of the equivalent standalone box rather than thrown in as a checkbox.

The mixing section starts at discrete low-noise microphone preamps, with three auxiliary busses of which one is switchable pre/post fader for monitor work. The two effects processors carry 100 factory presets, including the PowerMate reverbs the range is known for, and each can be edited and stored to 20 user memories. The built-in USB interface shares four playback and four recording channels at 24-bit/96 kHz with MIDI. The frame is road-ready with an extra robust cover lid.
