POWERPOD 1860 / K-12 / K-16
PLUS PLUS PLUS
22. Foot Switch Jacks
These ports are for the inclusion of a foot
switch, used to remotely adjust properties of
the built-in Digital Effect processor. The left
jack is used to adjust the tap delay properties,
where the right jack is used for the turning
on and off of digital effects (these are for use
with digital effect processor 2 on the K-12
Plus and K-16 Plus).
23. Fans
These vari-speed fans are used for the cooling of the mixer.
Do not obstruct in any way to ensure the product does not over
heat.
CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
Channel Controls
It is important that all channels are
independently disabled while not in
use. Lower the corresponding level
control when activating a channel;
the volume level should then be set
to an appropriate level.
24. Gain Control
This controls the sensitivity of the
input signal, which is sent to the
corresponding input channel. The
gain should be adjusted to a level
that allows the maximum use of
the audio, while still maintaining
the quality of the feed. This can be
accomplished by adjusting it
to a level that will allow the
peak indicator occasionally
illuminate.
25. High-Pass Filter (75 Hz)
This button will activate a
high-pass filter that reduces
all frequencies below 75 Hz at
18 dB per Octave, helping to
remove any unwanted ground
noise or stage rumble.
26. HF (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, synthesizers and
Michael Jackson.
27. MF (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.
The mono channels on the K-12 Plus and K-16 Plus provides
a sweep control, allowing you to select a center frequency
between 100 Hz and 8 kHz, whereas all channels on the 1860
Plus's (and stereo channels on the K-12 Plus and K-16 Plus),
the center frequency is set at 2.5 kHz.
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.
28. LF (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, bass guitars and Isaac Hayes.
29. Auxiliary Controls 1 and 2
These controls alter the signal level that is being sent to the
auxiliary 1 and 2 mixing buses, the signal of which is suitable for
connecting stage monitors, allowing artists to listen to the music
that is being playing.
30. Effect (EFX) Controls 1 and 2
These controls alter the signal level that is sent to the EFX 1
and 2 outputs, 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 engines (in
the case of the Powerpod 1860, EFX 2 controls the signal sent
to the built-in effects processor).
31. PAN/BAL
This alternates the degree or level of audio that the left and right
side of the main mix should receive. On mono channels, this
control will adjust the level that the left and right should receive,
where as on a stereo channel, adjusting the BAL control will
attenuate the left or right audio signals accordingly.
32. On Button and Indicator
This turns the channel on, allowing
the user to use the feed from the
channel's inputs to supply the
MAIN L/R, MONO, AUX 1 and 2
and the EFX 1 and 2 buses. The
corresponding indicator will be
illuminated when turned on.
When the channel is not activated,
the PFL button will still allow the
user to send the channel's audio
signal to the CTRL RM/PHONES
mixing bus for monitoring purposes.
33. Peak Indicator
This LED indicator will illuminate when the device hits high
peaks, 6 dB before overload occurs. It is best to adjust the gain
of the channel so that the PEAK indicator lights up on intervals.
This will ensure a greater dynamic range your audio.
