13. Mains Power Inlet

AC cable. The other end should be connected to an
appropriate power source. Ensure you check local
voltage levels are consistent with those needed by this
device before attempting to connect to a power source.
CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
Rear Panel
14. Power Button
This button is used to turn the Powerpods 865 and 885
Plus on or off. It is advisable to ensure all level controls
are a minimum before turning the device on.
Channel Controls
15. HIGH (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, and
synthesizers.
16. MID (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. On channels 1 and 2 of the Powerpod
Molded Powered Mixers, a frequency control is also
provided, allowing you to select a center frequency
between 100 Hz and 8 kHz. On all other channels, the
middle 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.
17. LOW (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 and bass
guitars.
18. Monitor Control
This control alters the signal level that is sent to the
Monitor mix, the signal of which is suitable for connecting
stage monitors, allowing artists to listen to the music that
is being playing.
19. EFX Send Controls
This controls alter the signal level that is sent to the built-
in digital effect engines. The effects controls also adjust
the signal level sent to the Effect output, which can be
used in conjunction with external signal processors (the
signal of which can be returned to mixer via the stereo
return inputs), or simply as additional auxiliary outputs
for any means you may require.
As the Powerpod 885 Plus features 2 EFX processors,
Phonic have also encorporated an EFX 2 button. This
button will allow users to switch the corresponding
channel's EFX signal's destination from built-in EFX
processor 1 to EFX processor 2. This function is not
available on the 865 Plus.
20. PAN/BAL Control
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
(provided the channel is receiving a stereo signal),
adjusting the BAL control will attenuate the left or right
audio signals accordingly.
21. Level Control
This control will alter the
signal level that is sent from
the corresponding channel
to the main mixing bus. This level control will also affect
the level of audio sent to the effect send.
22. PAD Button
The PAD button is used to attenuate the input signal of
the corresponding channel by 25 dB. This should be
pushed in when using line level input devices, or any
device with a higher signal level.
