The CMS 1000 and CMS 1600 compact mixing systems are top-quality mixing consoles with digital effects processors and dual graphic equalisers that are designed as complete solutions and are ideal for controlling professional sound reinforcement or powered speaker systems.

The CMS consoles from DYNACORD are extremely time-saving to set up, as there is no need for complicated rack configuration and interference-prone cabling of several individual units. The discrete microphone preamps used in the CMS 1000 and CMS 1600 are characterised by outstanding audio quality with extremely low noise and distortion, setting new standards in professional mixer technology.

In conjunction with the specially developed gain potentiometers, a control range of 60 dB can be achieved in addition to the ergonomic control behaviour. Group-switchable +48V phantom power, vocal voicing filter, 3-way tone control with semi-parametric mids, 4 AUX paths, PFL and MUTE, newly developed, dust-protected ALPS faders and the four almost identically equipped stereo channels with additional microphone inputs are just some of the professional features in the input section. The master outputs and AUX 3+4 provide the signal electronically balanced via XLR sockets. Switch-on/switch-off noises are effectively suppressed by relays. The AUX 3+4 tracks can be switched separately pre/post fader in the master section. The two feedback filters in the monitor paths, the master standby switch, tape input and the two 7-band graphic equalisers, which can be used either for the master or AUX 3+4, round off the professional features of the master section. Two parallel and separately controllable 24-bit stereo digital effects units with 48-bit algorithms offer a total of 2 x 99 "live-optimised" presets in studio quality. Room and plate reverb, echo reverb, chorus reverb, mono/stereo delay, modulated delay effects such as chorus or flanger and a whole range of special effects can be conveniently called up via up/down buttons.

The favourite start presets of both effect units can be saved in programming mode and are immediately available the next time the device is switched on. The effects can be switched on and off together or individually using a global or two separate footswitches. A 12V/5W desk light can be connected to the short-circuit-proof and overload-protected lamp output. A sturdy housing with a practical metal protective cover makes it easy to transport the device without an additional flight case.
