13 POWERPOD K16
PLUS
45. Stand-by Switch and Indicator
This switch enables and disables a mute of chan-
nels 1 through 12 on the K-16 Plus. This feature
is handy in live performances, due to the fact that
the Tape Input is not muted, allowing an audio
signal from CD players or other input devices to
be played during performance breaks, while still
ensuring microphones fail to produce hideously
sounding feedback. Flicking of
the stand-by switch is accompa-
nied by an illuminated LED.
46. Stereo Return Controls
These controls are used to adjust
the audio level that is received by
the stereo return input jacks. They
consist of 2 auxiliary level controls,
for adjusting the level to be sent to
the auxiliary mixing buses, and a
level control, for adjusting the stereo
return levels that are sent to the main
mixing bus.
The corresponding PFL (Pre-Fader
Listen) buttons allow you to send the
audio of the stereo return inputs di-
rectly to the Control Room/Phones
control, unaltered by any level controls. Activa-
tion of the PFL is accompanied by an illuminated
LED.
47. Tape In Controls
This control is used to adjust
the level of the Tape Input
signal that will be sent to the
main mix. The correspond-
ing PFL (Pre Fader Listen)
button allows you to send
the audio of the Tape In to
the Control Room/Phones
mix. Activation of the PFL
will be accompanied by an
illuminated LED.
48. Zone 2 Controls
This control is used to adjust the level of the
Zone 2 feed (duplicated from the MAIN L/R mix)
that will be sent to the Zone 2 output. The corre-
sponding AFL (After Fader Listen) button allows
you to send the Zone 2 audio feed to the Control
Room/Phones mix. Activation of the AFL is ac-
companied by an illuminated LED.
49. Control Room / Phones Control
This knob controls the level of the audio to be
sent to the Control Room and Phones outputs,
located on the top panel of the K-16 Plus mix-
ers. The Control Room/Phones mix receives
signals from PFLs, AFLs, as well as the main mix
– however not simultaneously. Any PFL that is
activated has priority over all other signals, and
is able to run simultaneously with another PFL
signal (the signal will be mixed together). If no
PFL buttons are pushed down, then any AFL that
is activated will be used instead (an AFL can also
work simultaneously with other AFLs). Likewise,
if neither a PFL nor an AFL is active, the MAIN
Left and Right signal will be used.

50. Control Room / Zone 2 Switch
The Control Room / Zone 2 switch alternates
the feed of the Control Room
/ Zone 2 outputs between the
audio signal from the Control
Room/Phones mix (which can
be used for monitoring) and
the Zone 2 mix (which can be
used for side-fill).
51. Auxiliary 1 and 2 Controls
(Faders)
These controls alter the audio
level that will be sent to the AUX
outputs, suitable for connecting to
floor monitors, as well as external
signal processing devices, if re-
quired. The corresponding AFL (Af-
ter-Fader Listen) buttons allow you
to send the audio of the auxiliary
mixing bus to the Control Room/
Phones mix, after being altered by
the corresponding fader (ie. after-
fader). Activation of the AFL is ac-
companied by an illuminated LED.
