Master Section
5. Effect Out
This 1/" 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 Jack
This port is for the inclusion of a momentary-type foot
switch, used to remotely turn the Digital Effect Engine
on and off.
7. AUX In
These 1/" 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. These stereo AUX inputs can also
accept mono signals, however, by simply plugging the
1/" phone jack of any device into the left stereo input,
the signal of which will be duplicated to the right input.
8. Tape In
These inputs accommodate RCA cables from such
stereo devices as tape and CD players. These allows
the unit to receive the signal from portable CD and MP3
players, as well as laptop computers, for a more versatile
sound. The line from this feed is directed to the Tape In
mixing bus, before being fed through to the Main L/R
mixing bus.
9. Record Outputs
As with the Tape In ports, these outputs will accommodate
RCA cables, able to feed a variety of stereo recording
devices. Accompanying these outputs on the Powerpod
885 Plus is a handy trim control, allowing users to adjust
the Record Out level for easier level matching when
recording. The 865 does not feature this control.
10. Main Output
The stereo Main output port will output the final stereo
line level signal sent from the main mixing bus, allowing
users to feed external devices that may run in parallel
with the mixer. This may include additional power
amplifiers, mixers, PA systems, as well as a wide range
of other possible signal processors.
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 stereo channels on each mixer feature
both XLR microphone inputs and stereo 1/" line inputs.
These inputs do not feature the PAD buttons that are on
mono channels.
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/" 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/" 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 Channels
Each of the Powerpod Molded Powered Mixers provides
2 stereo input channels, 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/" TS jacks are for the addition of
various stereo line level input devices, such as keyboards
or drum machines. If you wish to use a monaural device
on a stereo return input, simply plug the device’s 1/"
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.
