Press ReleaseDYNACORD introduces five new products! TS 400 – full-range vertical array speaker system! PSD 215 / PSD 218 – powered subwoofers! PSE 215 / PSE 218 – passive subwoofersMarch 2012ST/SEC-MKTFrankfurt / Munich, March 2012TS 400 – full-range vertical array cabinetThe TS 400 is a compact, powerful, and versatile loudspeaker system formobile applications and fixed installations. It can be used either full-range or inactive two-way systems for applications requiring subwoofers, whereDYNACORD's PSD 215 and PSD 218 powered subwoofers make idealcompanions. Vertical pattern control is essential if optimal sound quality andintelligibility are to be achieved in difficult acoustic environments. The TS 400was designed to provide very even and smooth coverage over a very widebandwidth by using spaced and filtered woofers as array elements.The TS 400’s 2.5-way design places elements at both ends of the speakercolumn to maximize the distance between them, thereby ensuring that greatercontrol over the low frequency range is retained. The MF- and HF-elementsare placed in the middle of the column for a smooth transition between thedifferent frequency areas and to achieve further control over the radiationpattern. Each group of elements has its own band-pass filter, to optimize thearray’s performance and attenuation 90° off-axis whilst at the same timeproviding even coverage of the audience area front-to-rear, where the rate ofattenuation is half that of an "unsteered” cluster. The directivity of the array issuch as to ensure the SPL falls off by only 3 dB each time the distancedoubles, compared with the 6 dB of a conventional two-way system.PSD 215 / PSD 218 – powered subwoofersThe PSD 215 (1 x 15") and PSD 218 (1 x 18") are high-powered activesubwoofers. Each is equipped with an integrated two-channel power amplifierand 24-bit one-into-three DSP controller boasting 48-bit double-precisioninternal resolution. These powered subwoofers therefore supply the idealfoundation for the uncomplicated construction of powered two-way systems,by eliminating the need for external controllers and power amplifiers.Page 1 of 6

The PSD 215 reconciles minimum size with maximum acoustic output.Largely responsible for this is a 15" Electro-Voice DVX3159 woofer speciallydeveloped for use in compact subwoofers. Its larger brother, the PSD 218, isequipped with an 18" Electro-Voice DVX3180 long-excursion chassis anddelivers the performance demanded of 18" subwoofers in professional concertsound applications.Both models are armed with a highly efficient dual-channel Class D amplifierwith a nominal output of 2 x 1,000 watts RMS into 4 ohms for highest qualityaudio performancePSE 215 / PSE 218 – passive subwoofersThe PSE 215 and PSE 218 are the passive versions of the PSD subs (i.e. theversions without integrated power amplifiers and DSP controllers) but theyshare the same dimensions, transducer configurations, and acousticcharacteristics as their powered cousins. They therefore represent the idealreinforcements for the active systems in larger venues.Vertical array systems – system recommendationsMany high-performance systems can be created using the PSD 215 and PSD218 powered subwoofers, the PSE 215 and PSE 218 passive extension subs,and the TS 400 vertical array cabinets. Optimized system presets are storedin the DSP engine of the PSD subwoofers.DYNACORD's vertical array systems offer plug and play solutions that meetthe requirements of a wide range of mobile applications and fixed installations,where their high sound pressure levels, outstanding audio quality, widecoverage patterns, and exemplary intelligibility – combined with what are incomparative terms extremely affordable prices – add up to make a powerfuland convincing case.For further information, visit: www.dynacord.com andwww.facebook.com/Dynacordsnapshot, gm, March 2012Page 2 of 6
