DESCRIPTION
First of all, we would like to express our thanks and at the same time congratulate you on the decision to
buy one of our STANDARD PRECISION SERIES power amplifiers.
DYNACORD’s STANDARD PRECISION SERIES amplifiers are made to meet the highest requirements
of any on-the-road application. Thus they provide on-board protection against thermal and capacitive
overload, short-circuit and the occurrence of HF or DC at the output. Additionally, special circuitry prevents
the output-stage transistors from being damaged by Back-EMF. During soft start, delayed switching of
the power outputs is accomplished via relays and a limiter controls the initial current inrush, preventing
the mains fuse from being blown during the power-on operation.
The mechanical construction as well is carried out following the highest precision standards of the industry.
The robust steel chassis provides extreme rigidity and it is meant to live through any hard wearing condition
of a touring application. Thermal stability is guaranteed by two 3-Mode (OFF/SLOW/FAST) silently running
fans that offer the possibility to also use the amplifiers in a studio environment.
The extensive comparator circuitry constantly monitors the input and output signals and activates the
internal limiters whenever a non-linear operational state is encountered. This provides reliable protection
of the connected loudspeaker systems against overload and clipping. The sound quality of the STAND-
ARD PRECISON SERIES power amplifiers is superb. Using comprehensive dimensioned power supply
units with low-interference toroidal transformers gains a headroom that exceeds the nominal power
handling capacity by far. No V/I-Foldback-Limiter circuits are employed within the power amplifiers, making
it possible to operate the amps on complex loads up to ±90° phase angles without a problem.
The input facilities are carried out as balanced XLRF-type sockets while the Direct-Outs – on which the
carried-through signals are present – come as XLRM-type connectors. Using the Input Routing-switches
lets you determine if the STANDARD PRECISION SERIES amplifiers are operated in DUAL (stereo) or
PARALLEL (monaural) mode; “mono-bridged” operation is also possible.
The dB-scaled level controls are to be found on the front panel. These detented potentiometers guarantee
precise and reliable operation. The easy readable LED display offers quick optical information on the
power amplifiers’ momentary operational mode. For each channel individually the display shows whether
they are operational, a signal is present at the outputs, when the limiters are activated, and whether one
of the protection circuits has been engaged or not. The power outputs CANNEL A, CHANNEL B and
BRIDGED OUT are carried out as Speakon connectors. A ground-lift switch that separates the enclosure
from the appliance’s ground potential and therefore helps to eliminate ground noise loops and the mono
bridged mode switch are also located on the rear panel. In normal operation all STANDARD PRECISION
SERIES power amplifiers can be used to drive loads down to 2 ohms; in bridged mode the minimal load
is 4 ohms. All amps are equipped with extremely silent running fans providing front-to-rear air circulation,
guaranteeing trouble-free operation even in smaller power amplifier rack systems.
Studying this owner’s manual carefully will provide you with further and more detailed information about
the STANDARD PRECISION SERIES power amplifiers. Thus we recommend to keep on reading,
assuring you that the DYNACORD STANDARD PRECISION SERIES power amplifiers will provide you
with a lot of fun and satisfaction in your work.

1. LEVEL
Detented potentiometers with a dB-scaling to adjust the overall amplification of the power amplifier. These
controls should be set between 0 dB and –6 dB, depending on the output of the connected equipment –
e. g. a mixing console. The printed scale shows the actual amount of damping in the amplification of the
power amplifier.
2. LIMIT
This indicator lights when the amplifier enters clipping and the internal limiter is activated. Short-term
indication is problem-free. Anyway, if this indicator lights continuously, reducing the overall volume is
recommended to avoid that the connected loudspeaker systems are getting damaged from overload.
3. SIGNAL INDICATOR
This indicator lights when an output signal is present. In case of short-circuited speaker cabling or one of
the amplifier’s protection functions is engaged the indicator is off, showing that there is no signal outputted.
4. PROTECT
If this indicator lights during operation, one of the amp’s internal protection functions against thermal
overload, short-circuit, occurrence of HF or DC at the output … has been engaged. The cause that let
the amplifier enter the protection mode – e. g. a short-circuited speaker cable – has to be eliminated. In
case of thermal overload you have to wait until the power amplifier returns into normal operation mode.
5. Power ON Indicator
This LED lights when the appliance’s power switch has been engaged. If the indicator does not light after
you have engaged the power switch, either the amplifier is not connected to the mains or the internal
mains fuse is blown and has to be replaced.
6. POWER Switch
Using the POWER switch you turn the amplifiers power on. To eliminate unwanted noise and knacks in
the connected speaker systems, loudspeaker output switching is performed delayed via relays. An initial
current inrush limiter prevents the mains fuse from being blown during power-on.

POWER AMPLIFIER INPUTS
Parallel to the XLR-type inputs, output connectors are provided,
offering the opportunity to feed additional power amplifiers with the
same signal.
The inputs are electrically balanced with pin-assignment according to
the IEC 268 standard.
Pin-assignment of the XLR-type input connectors:
Input sensitivity is factory set to 0 dBu.
INPUT ROUTING
PARALLEL MONAURAL
Setting the selector switch to the PARALLEL/MONO position puts the
channel A and channel B inputs in electrically direct parallel configu-
ration, leaving you still the possibility to control the channels’ level
settings separately, using the output controls A and B.
DUAL STEREO
When the selector switch is set to its DUAL/STEREO position both
channels are amplified individually.
Although providing XLR-type connectors, on some mixing consoles the outputs are
carried out as unbalanced connections. If such a console is employed in your set-up
together with a STANDARD PRECISION SERIES power amplifier, pins 1 and 3 have to be
bridged or the pin 3 of the connection cable has to be left unconnected.
Feeding unbalanced signal sources via pin 3 (b, –, cold) and pin 2 (a, +, hot) into the
power amplifier can result in unusual humming noise and HF-interference leading to
damaging the amplifier itself or the connected loudspeaker systems.

PIN 2: a, +

Power Amplifier Outputs
The power amplifier’s channel A (left) and channel
B (right) outputs are carried out as SPEAKON
output connectors.
The bridged-out connector conducting the output
signal in bridged mode operation is protected by a
plastic cover to avoid inadvertently plugging a
speaker cable into the wrong connector.
BRIDGED MODE
When the bridged mode switch is engaged you will
have to use the channel A input. The channel B
input is out of function. The signal gets internally
inverted and fed to the channel B power amp. The
two amplifiers A+B are now used in push-pull
operation providing the double output voltage at
the BRIDGED-OUT connector.
The regular output voltages of the power amplifiers
A and B are still present at the individual output
connectors CHANNEL A and CHANNEL B but in
respect to the inverted phase, using these signals
is not recommendable.
Bridged mode operation on loads of 2 ohms is
not admissible.
GROUND-LIFT SWITCH
The ground-lift switch is meant to help you in
avoiding ground noise loops. Whenever the power
amplifier is installed in a 19" rack system being
operated together with other equipment, the re-
commended setting of the switch is the GROUN-
DED position. In case the power amplifier is used
together with appliances that are connected to
different ground potentials, the recommended set-
ting is UNGROUNDED.
