CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
Rear Panel
12. 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 chosen by the Voltage Selector
switch.
13. 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 first 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
14. 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 and synthesizers.
15. MID (Middle 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 is usually more
desirable to cut middle frequency sounds rather than boost them,
soothing overly harsh vocal and instrument sounds in the audio.
16. 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 and bass guitars.
17. 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.
18. EFX (Effect) Level Control
This control alters the signal level that is sent to the EFX output,
which can be used in conjunction with external signal processors
(this signal of which can be
returned to mixer via the stereo
return inputs), or simply as
additional auxiliary outputs for
any means required. These
controls also adjust the level of
audio that is sent to the built-in
digital effect panel.
19. Channel Level Control
This control will alter the signal
level that is sent from the
corresponding channel to the
Main mixing bus.
20. PAD -25 Button
The PAD -25 button, located
above the 1/4” phone jack of
mono channels, is used to
attenuate the input signal by 25
dB. This should only be pushed
in when using line-level input
devices.
