Description

Dynacord U240:1M · Reference U240:1M-EU

Background music,
and the voice comes first.

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.

Black Dynacord U240:1M mixer amplifier, three-quarter view, gain knobs on the front
  • 240 Won one channel, class D
  • 100 V70 V, 4 or 8 ohms
  • 4inputs + an emergency one
  • 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.

Dynacord U240:1M rear panel: mains inlet, DIP switches, output and emergency terminals, two XLR inputs, AUX inputs and RCA line outputOutput 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 Dynacord U Series amplifiers mounted side by side in a single 19-inch rack unitTwo 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.
