Dynacord Powermate 1000-3

The sound is so good?, I've abandoned my crossover and bi-amp system, because honestly I think I no longer need one, those speakers are never going to sound better than they do with this desk, plus a little TLC with the graphic equaliser. For good measure, I really reccomend you run your MP3 player through one of channels with the little red and white RCA connectors?, with a little extra bass, a little less mid, and a little extra top, trust me!. The sound is so good, I'm not bothering with a bi-amp and crossover, theres no point, the sound is un-beatable as is, this has saved me around 4U extra rack space, 30 kilos extra weight to carry, and roughly £1000, thats roughly 1300 in Euros, super fast to set up and pack away.

Also I feel I should mention, a clincher for me buying this desk, is that it has two power channels built in?. Team this up with a Thomann T.Amp TSA 4-700?, and you have the full 6 channels at 500 Watts each, a pub band needs, at amazing quality, and minimum hassle. 6 channels at 500 watts a piece, but with only a desk and 2U of rack units, weighing in at about 35 kilo inncluding the flight case.

I totally reccomend buying this desk, its doing me proud so far.

Excellent, as was it's predecessor, the Powermate 1000-1, which gave me 12yrs good service (and I still retain as a spare desk). The Mark 3 is lighter, more powerful (especially instantaneous power, the snare really 'cracks'), and produces less heat than my faithful Mark 1. There is nothing on the market that comes close! The only (tiny) criticism is the lack of stereo-jack insert points on the main outputs, instead one has to use a combination of XLR 'outs' and Jack 'ins' to insert an external equaliser etc. But overall, this powered-desk is the best you're gonna get.
