Master Section
5. Effect Out
This 1/4" TS outputs may be used to
connect to an external digital effect
processor, or even to an amplifier and
speakers (depending on your needs),
to the mixer; the level of which is
determined by the Effect controls on
each input channel.
6. Foot Switch Jacks
These ports are for the
inclusion of a momentary-type
foot switch, used to remotely
adjust properties of the built-
in Digital Effect Engine. The
Powerpod 745 Plus features
a single foot switch jack,
allowing users to turn the
Digital Effect Engine on and
off. The Powerpods 865 and
885 Plus, on the hand, features two foot switch jacks:
the uppermost jack is used for turning on and off of
digital effects, where the lower jack is used to adjust the
tap delay properties.
7. AUX In
These 1/4" phone jack inputs are for the return of audio to
the Powerpod Molded Mixers, processed by an external
signal processor. If really needed, they can also be used
as additional inputs, with a level control located on the
face of the mixer. The Powerpod 745 Plus features a
mono AUX In, whereas both the Powerpod 865 and 885
Plus feature stereo AUX Inputs. The stereo AUX inputs
can also accept mono signals, however, by simply
plugging the 1/4" phone jack of any device into the Left
stereo input, the signal of which will be duplicated to the
Right input.
8. Tape In
The first of these inputs accommodates RCA cables from
such stereo devices as tape and CD players. In addition
to these inputs, however, Phonic has incorporated a mini
stereo port for the inclusion of mini disc (MD), portable
CD, and MP3 players (such as the Apple iPod), as well
as laptop computers. The line from this feed is directed
to the Tape In mixing bus, before being fed through to
the Main L/R mixing bus.
MAKING CONNECTIONS
Channel Inputs
The Powerpod 865 and 885 Molded Powered Mixers
provide users with a total of 8 input channels, 2 of which
accept stereo signals and another 2 that accept Super
Hi-Z signals. The Powerpod 745 Plus, on the other hand,
provides a total of 7 input channels, including 3 dual
mono input channels and two Super Hi-Z inputs. The
stereo and dual mono channels on each device feature
both XLR microphone inputs, as well as two 1/4" line
inputs, and do not feature PAD buttons.
1. XLR Microphone (Low-Z) Inputs
These jacks accept XLR Microphone inputs. They
can be used in conjunction with such microphones as
professional condenser, dynamic or ribbon microphones
with standard XLR male connectors. With low noise
preamplifiers, these inputs serve for crystal clear sound
replication.
NB. When using an unbalanced microphone, please ensure
phantom power is switched off. However, when using condenser
microphones the phantom power of the corresponding channel
should be activated.
2. Line (Hi-Z) Inputs
These inputs accept typical 1/4" TRS or TS inputs, for
balanced or unbalanced signals. By pushing the PAD
button, guitars, synthesizers, and other high-level input
devices can be safely connected to these inputs.
3. Line (Super Hi-Z) Inputs
These unbalanced 1/4" phone jack inputs are best
suited for direct input of acoustic electric guitars,
electric guitars, bass guitars, and other instruments like
synthesizers and drum machines.
4. Stereo / Dual Mono Channel Inputs
Each of the Powerpod Molded Powered Mixers provide
at least 2 stereo input channels (or dual mono on the
Powerpod 745 Plus), the inputs of which differ slightly
to the mono channels. The 3-pin XLR inputs are for the
addition of microphones with typical XLR male inputs,
where the two Line 1/4" TS jacks are for the addition
of various stereo line level input devices, such as
keyboards. If you wish to use a monaural device on a
stereo return input, simply plug the device’s 1/4" phone
jack into the left (mono) input and leave the right input
bare. The signal will be duplicated to the right due to the
miracle of jack normalizing.
