CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
Rear Panel
14. Power Button and AC Connector
The power button, located on the rear of the Box Mixer,
is used to activate the mixer. Of course, there’s no point
in activating the mixer if there’s no power, therefore an
AC connector has been included to ensure your Mixer
gets the power it needs. Please use the power cable
that is included with this mixer only.
NB.
Before connecting the AC cable to the Powerpod Mixer, please
ensure the local voltage levels are identical to those chosen by the
Voltage Selector switch.
15. Voltage Selector
This switch allows you to select from 2 mains power
modes, 115 VAC / 60 Hz (Allowing you to use the
device in Countries with voltages between 100V and
120V) or 230 VAC / 50 Hz (Allowing you to use the
device in Countries with voltages between 220V and
240V). To change the Voltage Selector, you must fi rst
unscrew and remove the plastic cover that protects
the switch. After changing the Voltage, please replace
the plastic cover to ensure the voltage level is not
inadvertently altered.
NB.
Using incorrect voltages can cause irreversible damage to the
mixer. All care must be taken in selecting the voltage appropriate to
your zone. If unsure of local voltage levels, contact a knowledgeable
source before using this mixer.
Channel Controls
16. HIGH (High Frequency) Control
This control is used to give a shelving
boost or cut of
±
15 dB to high
frequency (12 kHz) sounds. This will
adjust the amount of treble included
in the audio of the channel, adding
strength and crispness to sounds such
as guitars, cymbals, synthesizers and
Michael Jackson.
17. MID (Middle Frequency) Control
(Powerpods 740, 1060 and 1062
Deluxe only)
This control is used to provide a
peaking style of boost and cut to the
level of middle frequency sounds
at a range of
±
15 dB. Changing
middle frequencies of an audio feed
can be rather diffi cult when used in a
professional audio mix, as it is usually
more desirable to cut middle frequency
sounds rather than boost them, soothing overly harsh
vocal and instrument sounds in the audio.
18. LOW (Low Frequency) Control
This control is used to give a shelving
boost or cut of
±
15 dB to low frequency
(80 Hz) sounds. This will adjust the
amount of bass included in the audio
of the channel, and bring more warmth
and punch to drums, bass guitars and
Isaac Hayes.
19. MON (Monitor) Level Control
This control alters the signal level
that is being sent to the Monitor
mixing buses, the signal of which is
suitable for connecting stage monitors,
allowing artists to listen to the music
that is being playing.
20. EFX (Effect) Level Control
This control alters the signal level
