Speaker Outputs
These jacks are used to connect to speakers, fed from
the internal power amp. They consist of 1/4” phone
jacks and professional Speakon connectors. The Amp
Select switch (on the front of the mixer) determines the
operation of these jacks. If the Amp Select switch is set
to “Main 1/Main2”, they will output the Main 1 and Main
2 signals, whereas the “Main / Moni” option will allow the
Main signal to be sent out of one channel and the Monitor
signal to be sent from the other. A single speaker with a 4
to 8 ohm impedance can be connected to jack A on both
the Main 1 and Main 2 speaker outputs. You can also
connect two speakers with impedances between 4 and
16 ohms to both jacks.
NB.
Due to the fact that the signal has been processed by the power amp,
these ports should be used in conjunction with passive speakers only to
avoid damaging any other equipment.
CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
Rear Panel
8.
Power Button and AC Connector
The power button, located on the rear of the 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 required by your
Powerpod 2000R.

Breaker Button
This button allows you to reset the break of the Powerpod
2000R, in the event that it cuts power to the device. This
could occur in the event of power surges, for example.
Channel Controls
10.
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 and synthesizers.
11.
Mid Frequency Control
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 difficult when used in a professional audio
mix, as it may be more desirable to cut middle frequency
sounds rather than boost them, soothing overly harsh
vocal and instrument sounds in the audio.
12.
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 and bass.
13.
FX Level Control
This control alters the signal level that is sent to the FX
mix to be processed by the digital effect processor.
14.
PAN Control
This alternates the
degree or level of audio
that the left and right side
of the main mix should
receive. Turning to the left
will increase the level the
left mix will receive while
simultaneously reducing
the level sent to the right
mix. Turning to the right
will do the opposite.
15.
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.
16.
Channel Main
Level Control
This control will alter the
signal level that is sent
from the corresponding
channel to the Main mix.
