PLUS
33. Stereo Channel A/B Button
When this button is released, the K-16 Plus’s
stereo channels (13/14, 15/16) will receive their
signals from the 1/4” inputs. However, when
this button is pushed in, the stereo channel will
receive the corresponding stereo RCA input’s
signal.
Digital Effects Panel
The Powerpod K-16 Plus has two built-in digital
effect processors, both of which work in the exact
same way, as directed below.
34. Digital Effect Display
This 2-digital numeric display shows the pro-
gram number that is currently applied to your
corresponding EFX audio signal. When you ro-
tate the Program control, you can scroll through
different program numbers; however the display
will revert back to the original program if a new
program is not selected by pushing the button
down within a few seconds. For a list of available
effects, please observe the Digital Effect Table.
When the DFX processor is in stand-by mode, 2
small lights will flash within this panel.
35. Sig and Clip Indicators
Located within the Digital Effect Display are Clip
and Sig LEDs. The Sig LED will light up when
any signal is received by the effect processor,
and the Clip LED will light up shortly before ex-
cessive signals are dynamically clipped. If the
Clip LED lights up too often, it may be advisable
to turn down one or all EFX controls on input
channels to ensure the signal level is not too
high.
36. Program Control
This control is used to scroll through the various
effect numbers shown on the Digital Effect Dis-
play window. Pushing this control will apply the
new effect. When a tap-delay effect is selected,
pressing this control will allow users to select the
tap-delay time.
By pushing the button several times, the effect
processor interprets the time between last two
pushes and remembers this as the delay time,
until the button is pushed again (this is kept,
even after the power is turned off). When the tap
delay effect is selected, a small LED will flash
within the digital effect display window at the se-
lected intervals.
37. Auxiliary Controls 1 and 2
These controls alter the level of audio that is
sent from the Digital Effect Processor to the cor-
responding auxiliary mixing buses.
38. DSP Effect On Button
This button is pushed to turn the corresponding
effect panel on or off. When the Digital Effect
Processor is off, the last DFX program used will
be automatically memorized and used when the
unit is turned back on.
39. PFL button and Indicator
This PFL – or Pre-Fader Listen – button is pushed
to allow the processed signal of the digital effect
panel to be sent to the Control Room/Phones
control (pre-fader), for use with either head-
phones or studio monitors. This allows easier
tracking of audio by sound engineers. The cor-
responding green LED will illuminate when PFL
is activated.
