40. DSP Effect Fader
This control adjusts the level of the audio to be
sent from the Digital Effect mixing bus to the
main mixing bus.

41. Power Amp Control Switches
These switches control the activity and the
strength of the power amp. Using the left switch
can alternate between the different signals which
can be processed by the built-in power amp and
routed to the main speaker outputs on the rear
of the device. This switch allows you to select
from: A and B Stereo – the final level of which is
adjusted by the MAIN L/R fader; AUX 1/MONO
– the final level of which is adjusted by the AUX
1 fader and MONO fader; AUX 1/AUX 2 outputs
– the final level of which is adjusted by the AUX
1 and 2 faders, and; MONO BRIDGE – which is
output via the XLR Speaker output A only, and
has its volume controlled by the MONO fader.
NB. When using mono bridge mode, do not connect
a speaker to any speaker output other than XLR
Speaker output A. Doing so may have undesired
consequences.
The amplification power can be changed between
300 and 500 Watts by using the right switch,
the setting of which will depend on the size of
a venue and the input capacity of the speakers
you have chosen to use.
43. Phantom Power Switch
When activated, this switch provides +48V
of phantom power on pins 2 and 3 of the XLR
microphone connections, allowing condenser
microphones to be used on these channels.
44. Graphic Equalizer and FBD
This stereo, 7 band graphic equalizer allows the
user to adjust the frequency response of a sig-
nal, with a maximum of ±12 dB of signal boost
or cut for each of the frequencies. The AUX 1
/ L/R switch alternates the use of the equalizer
between the use of the AUX 1 bus and MAIN L/R
bus signals, respectively. When L/R is selected,
the equalizer is applied to not only both the main
stereo outputs (Main and Speaker outputs), but
also to the mono output. Pushing the on button
in activates the equalizer, which is accompanied
by an illuminated LED.
One feature built into the Powepod K-16’s graphic
equalizer is a Feedback Detection System .
The individual LEDs located on the sliding VR
controls of the equalizer will illuminate when
feedback occurs on that particular frequency
band. By reducing the level of that frequency
band you can quite effectively remove feedback
from your audio; after which the LED will turn off.
If the FBD button is pushed in, feedback detection
is active for the final AUX 1 signal, whereas if it’s
release, the feedback detection is active for the
main L-R signal. It is recommended that users
switch the AUX 1 / L/R button to the same setting
as the FBD button to ensure simpler adjustment
of frequencies that have produced feedback.
42. Solid Phonic System
Using this switch will enable the user to give
both the high and low frequencies of their sound
a little boost to improve the overall robustness of
the audio. There is no guarantee your sound will
improve with the sPs activated, however, so it’s
probably desirable to audition the mixer’s sound
with this switch on and off, and decide which is
better for your purposes.
