Dynacord U60:1M-US – 60W Single-Channel Mixer Amplifier

Product Overview

The Dynacord U60:1M is a 60 W mixer amplifier for small commercial audio systems that need background music and clear voice paging from one compact device. As a 70V mixer amplifier supporting 70 V, 100 V, 4 ohm, and 8 ohm loads, it serves as a versatile commercial background music amplifier for retail, hospitality, and meeting spaces. Its four-input mixer, EMG priority override, and half-rack chassis let integrators build a complete paging-and-music head end without a separate mixing console.

Product Description

The U60:1M integrates a four-input mixer and a 60 W Class-D power amplifier in a half-rack 1U enclosure, giving small distributed audio systems a single point of source mixing and amplification. Two mic/line inputs with switchable 48 V phantom power handle microphones or line sources, and two stereo aux inputs (summed to mono) accept background music players. The EMG priority input takes line-level or 100 V signals with selectable level so all-call and emergency messages override program audio. MIC1 provides a call-station interface with contact-closure triggering and a configurable two-tone chime, while VOX ducking on MIC2 automatically attenuates music under live speech for intelligible announcements. DIP-selectable output for 4 ohm, 8 ohm, 70 V, and 100 V lets the same amplifier serve high-Z distributed ceiling systems or low-Z surface speakers. Built for continuous commercial deployment, this Dynacord U Series amplifier offers remote power standby for energy efficiency and front-panel gain, bass, and treble adjustment for fast commissioning.

Key Features

• Four-Input Mixer Amplifier — Two mic/line and two aux inputs combine microphones and music sources in one unit, removing the need for an external mixer.
• 70 V / 100 V and Low-Z Output — Selectable 4 ohm, 8 ohm, 70 V, and 100 V operation supports both distributed high-Z and direct low-Z loudspeaker systems.
• EMG Priority Override — A dedicated emergency input accepts line-level or 100 V signals with level selection so critical messages take precedence over program audio.
• Call-Station Interface with Two-Tone Chime — MIC1 supports contact-closure paging with a configurable attention chime for clear all-call announcements.
• VOX Ducking — Automatic ducking lowers background music under live speech for intelligible voice communication.
• Class-D Topology — Class-D amplification improves energy efficiency and reduces heat versus traditional linear and Class-AB designs.
• Switchable 48 V Phantom Power — Both mic inputs supply phantom power for condenser microphones and powered call stations.
• Half-Rack 1U Chassis — Included brackets allow single, side-by-side rack, table-top, or under-counter mounting, with two units fitting one rack space.
• Switchable 120 Hz High-Pass Filter — A selectable HPF removes unwanted low-frequency content to protect small speakers and improve speech clarity.
• Remote Power Standby — Contact-closure remote power off reduces standby consumption to 0.6 W for energy-conscious installations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the U60:1M support both 70 V and 100 V distributed speaker systems?
Yes. The output is DIP-switch selectable for 4 ohm, 8 ohm, 70 V, and 100 V, so it works with high-Z distributed ceiling and pendant systems as well as low-Z surface speakers.

Can it page over background music automatically?
Yes. VOX ducking on the MIC2 input lowers music when speech is detected, and the EMG priority input overrides all program audio for emergency or all-call messages.

How does it integrate with a call station?
The MIC1 input provides a call-station interface on a 5-pin Eurostyle connector with contact-closure triggering and a configurable two-tone chime. It is compatible with the Dynacord PLE-1CS all-call station.

How is the amplifier mounted in an equipment rack?
The half-rack 1U chassis ships with brackets for single rack-mount, side-by-side mounting (two units per rack space), table-top, or under-counter installation.

Does it require microphone phantom power?
Both mic/line inputs provide switchable 48 V phantom power for condenser microphones and powered call stations; it can be disabled for dynamic mics.

What warranty and support are available?
Dynacord products carry the manufacturer's standard warranty. Creation Networks provides pre-sale system design guidance and post-sale support for commercial AV deployments. Contact our team through the Creation Networks site for documentation and assistance.

Is this model suitable for 24/7 operation?
Yes. The fanless Class-D design, protection circuitry, and remote standby make it appropriate for continuous fixed-install commercial use in small spaces.
