Mixer amplifier Dynacord U240:1M - 1 channel 240 W, 100 V / 70 V line or 4-8 ohms, half rack (U240:1M-EU)
Dynacord U240:1M mixer amplifier: 240 W on one channel, on a 100 V or 70 V line as well as into 4 or 8 ohms, in a half-rack 1U enclosure. Four inputs, a priority emergency input and VOX ducking for background music and announcements in a shop or a school.
PA mixer amplifier for background music and announcements in a shop, a restaurant, a school or a house of worship: 240 W on one channel, 100 V / 70 V line or 4 / 8 ohms and voice priority. Inputs: 2 XLR mic/line with 48 V phantom, 2 RCA aux, 1 line or 100 V emergency input Announcements: VOX ducking up to 45 dB, call station on MIC1 with two-tone chime Sound: bass and treble ±12 dB, switchable 120 Hz high-pass, less than 0.5 % distortion Installation: half rack 1U enclosure, two units side by side in 1U, on or under a table; 1.9 kg Operation: remote standby by contact closure (1.25 W), four-stage fan, limiter and protections A single unit to mix, amplify and prioritise announcements in a small or medium installation, instead of a separate mixer and amplifier.
The U240:1M mixes four sources, amplifies them at 240 W on one channel and puts announcements ahead of the music, in a half-rack-width enclosure. It targets small and medium installations: shop, restaurant, classroom, house of worship, conference room.

1 Uhalf rack width
100 V line or 8-ohm speakers
The same unit delivers its full power on a 100 V or 70 V line, to drive several transformer speakers, as well as in low impedance into 4 or 8 ohms. The choice is made with DIP switches, and the 4-pin output terminal separates the two connections.
Output and emergency terminals, two XLR, AUX and RCA line output.
Four sources, two powered mics
Two XLR mic/line inputs take dynamic or condenser microphones, with 48 V phantom power switched on the rear. Two RCA aux inputs take a player or a music receiver, their stereo summed to mono. The front carries a gain per input, bass and treble at ±12 dB and the master volume; a switchable 120 Hz high-pass filter removes unwanted low end.
The announcement before the music
On the MIC2 input, the VOX function lowers the music by 0 to 45 dB as soon as a voice exceeds the set threshold, then restores it. The MIC1 input accepts a call station through its 5-pin Euro terminal: the talk key triggers priority and, if desired, a two-tone chime. An emergency input, line or 100 V, takes precedence over all the others to relay a safety message.
Two amplifiers in a single rack unit
At 44.2 mm high and 218 mm wide, the U240:1M takes up half a rack unit. The supplied brackets fix it alone in a 19-inch rack or side by side with a second unit of the series, in 1U. It can also sit on a shelf or be screwed under a counter. Its four-stage fan, from off to fast, follows the temperature to stay quiet at low power.
Two units side by side in one rack unit, with the supplied brackets.
A dry contact wired to the REMOTE OFF terminal puts the amplifier in standby, at 1.25 W: a shop's sound system is switched off from the electrical cabinet or a timer, without touching the unit.

Frequently asked questions about this product
Can the U240:1M drive speakers on a 100 V line?
Yes. It delivers its 240 W in high impedance, on a 100 V or 70 V line, as well as in low impedance into 4 or 8 ohms. The choice is made with DIP switches on the rear, and the speakers connect to a 4-pin Euroblock terminal, two pins for each mode.
How many sources can be connected?
Four, plus an emergency input. Two XLR mic/line inputs with switchable 48 V phantom power, and two RCA aux inputs whose stereo is summed to mono. The emergency input accepts a line signal or a 100 V line and takes precedence over all the others.
Does the music lower by itself during an announcement?
Yes. The VOX ducking function of the MIC2 input lowers the music by 0 to 45 dB as soon as a voice exceeds the set threshold. A call station connected to MIC1 through its 5-pin Euroblock connector also overrides the music, introduced by a two-tone chime that can be disabled.
Can it be mounted in a 19-inch rack?
Yes. It takes up half a rack width at 1U high, and the supplied brackets fix it alone or side by side with a second unit of the series in the same rack unit. It can also stand on a table or be fixed underneath.
Is the amplifier noisy in operation?
Its fan is temperature-controlled in four stages, from off to fast, to cool without audible noise at low power. The output stage is class D, chosen for its efficiency, and a limiter protects the amplifier and the speakers from accidental overload.
Can it be switched off remotely?
Yes. A dry contact wired to the REMOTE OFF terminal puts the unit in standby, where it only draws 1.25 W. This is handy to turn off a shop's sound system from the electrical cabinet or a timer, without touching the amplifier.
Which call station should be used with the U240:1M?
Dynacord specifies it with the PLE-1CS call station, which connects to the MIC1 input through a lockable Euro connector and triggers the priority contact. The PLE-1SCS heavy-duty call station, from the same Plena range, uses the same connection with a heavier metal base.
