POWERPOD 865/885 Plus

BASIC SETUP

Getting Started

1.  Ensure all power is turned off on the Molded Mixer. 

To totally ensure this, the AC cable should not be 

connected to the unit.

2.  All faders and level controls should be set at the 

lowest level and all channels switched off to ensure 

no sound is inadvertently sent through the outputs 

when the device is switched on. All levels should 

be altered to acceptable degrees after the device 

is turned on.

NB.  

Ensure that the rear of the mixer is not less than 30 centimeters 

from the wall, as being closer than that may obstruct the cooling 

fans and cause overheating.

3.  Plug all necessary instruments and equipment into 

the device's various inputs as required. This may 

include line signal devices, as well as microphones 

and/or guitars, keyboards, etc.

.  Plug  any  necessary  equipment  into  the  device's 

various  outputs.  This  could  include  speakers, 

monitors,  signal  processors,  and/or  recording 

devices.

NB.   

No devices other than speakers should be connected to the power 

amp  outputs.  Plugging  inappropriate  devices  into  the  mixer  will 

likely cause damage to the device. Also, guitar cables should not 

be used to connect amplifiers to speakers.

5.  Plug the supplied AC cable into the AC inlet on the 

back of the device, ensuring the local voltage level 

is identical to that required on your device.

6.  Plug the supplied AC cable into a power outlet of a 

suitable voltage. 

7.  Turn the power switch on.

Channel Setup

1.  To  ensure  the  correct  audio  level  of  the  input 

channel is selected, each of the level input controls 

of the Mixer should be turned counterclockwise as 

far as they will go (which is the 0 mark).

2.  No input other than the one being set should have 

any device plugged in. This will ensure the purest 

signal is used when setting channels.

3.  Set the level control of the channel you are setting 

to the 0 dB mark.

4. Set the master level controls (main & monitor) to 

around the 12 o’clock position.

5.  Ensure the channel has a signal sent to it similar 

to the signal that will be sent when in common use. 

For example, if the channel is using a microphone, 

then you should speak or sing at the same level the 

performer normally would during a performance; if 

a guitar is plugged into the channel, then the guitar 

should also be strummed as it normally would be 

(and  so  on).  This  ensures  levels  are  completely 

accurate and avoids having to reset them later.

6.  Set  the  channel  level  control  so  the  Level  Meter 

indicates the audio level is around the 0 dB mark.

7.  This channel is now ready to be used; you can stop 

making the audio signal.

8.  You  can  repeat  the  same  process  for  other 

channels.
