3. Stereo Channel Inputs
Each of the Powerpod 740, 1060 and 1062 Deluxe
Powered Mixers provide 3 stereo input channels (the
Powerpod 620 Deluxe has 2), the inputs of which differ
slightly to the mono channels. The 3-pin XLR inputs
featured are for the addition of microphones with typical
XLR male inputs, where the 2 Line 1/4" TS jacks are for
the addition of various stereo line level input devices,
such as keyboards. If you wish to use a monaural device
on a stereo return input, simply plug the device’s 1/4"
phone jack into the left (mono) stereo input and leave the
right input bare. The signal will be duplicated to the right
due to the miracle of jack normalizing.

4. Tape In (L and R)
The fi rst of these inputs accommodates RCA cables
from such devices as tape and CD players. In addition
to these inputs, however, Phonic has incorporated a mini
stereo jack for the inclusion of such devices as mini disc
(MD), portable CD, and MP3 players (such as the Apple
iPod), as well as laptop computers. The line from this
feed is directed to the Tape In mixing bus, before being
fed through to the Main L/R mixing bus.
5. Record Outputs (L and R)
As with the Tape In ports, these outputs will accommodate
RCA cables, able to be fed to a variety of recording
devices. Also, similar to the Tape In ports, included are
mini stereo jacks for the addition of recording devices
such as MD players and laptop computers. A trim control
is featured on these outputs to accommodate for devices
with different recording levels.
MAKING CONNECTIONS
Channel Inputs
The Powerpod 620, 740, 1060 and 1062 Deluxe Box
Mixers supply various numbers input channels. The 620
Deluxe features a total of 6 channels, 2 of which accept

microphone XLR jack and at least one 1/4” Phone Jack
for balanced and unbalanced connections. Each stereo
channel features different inputs jacks, accepting either
microphone inputs or stereo line inputs.
1. XLR Lo-Z Inputs
These XLR microphone inputs can be used in
conjunction with a wide range of microphones, such as
professional condenser, dynamic or ribbon microphones,
with standard XLR male connectors. With low noise
preamplifi ers, these inputs serve for crystal clear sound
replication.
NB.
When using an unbalanced microphone, please ensure
phantom power is switched off. However, when using condenser
microphones the phantom power should be activated.
2. 1/4 " Hi-Z and Super Hi-Z Input Jacks
These inputs accept typical 1/4” TRS or TS unbalanced
inputs. The Hi-Z inputs accept balanced TRS inputs,
and are for Microphone to line-level device (such as
synthesizers and drum machines), where the Super Hi-Z
inputs accept TS unbalanced sources, and can be used
in conjunction with devices with higher impedance levels
(including electric guitars and basses).
NB.
When using a line-level device on your mixer, the PAD -25 button
should be initiated.
