POWERPOD 865/885 Plus
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing one of Phonic’s many quality powered mixers. The unique Powerpod Molded Powered Mixers
– innovated by the same talented engineers that have created a variety of mixers fantastic in style and performance in
the past – display similar proficiency that previous Phonic products have shown - with more than a few refinements, of
course. The all new Powerpod Molded Powered Mixers feature full gain ranges, amazingly low distortion levels, and
incredibly wide dynamic ranges, just showing the dominance these small machines will have in the mixing World.
The innovative features of Powerpods 865 and 885 Plus are obvious at first glance. The new molded casing provides
not only added durability, but versatility that has previously been unavailable in mixers. Thanks to the Powerpod Molded
Mixers’ construction, you can simply place the mixer on a desk-top or other surface to sit at a 5° angle for a better view
of controls and easier utilization of the mixer. It is also possible to mount the new Powerpods on a unique tri-pod stand,
allowing users to bring the mixer up into their focal visual and dextral range.
Because of the over-all distinctiveness of the Powerpods 865 and 885 Plus, we know by now you’re already extremely
eager to get started and see what this baby can do, but before you do we strongly urge you to take a look through this
manual. Inside, you will find important facts and figures on the set up, use and applications of your brand new mixer. If
you do happen to be one of the many people who flatly refuse to read user manuals, then we just urge you to at least
glance at the Instant Setup section. After glancing at or reading through the manual (we applaud you if you do read the
entire manual), please store it in a place that is easy to find, because, chances are, there is something you missed the
first time around.
