Introduction; Features; Basic Setup - Phonic POWERPOD 750RW User Manual

INTRODUCTION

Phonic would like to congratulate you on the purchase of one of
their extraordinary Powerpod mixers, powered mixers that provide
more than the average. Since its introduction, the entire Powerpod
series has given other powered mixer lines a run for their money.
With fantastically low noise levels, high signal handling abilities,
exceptional output levels, simplified signal routing abilities, and
ultra-smooth controls, the Powerpod 750RW provides a level of
dependability not often found in powered mixers as of late.
We know how eager you are to get started – getting the mixer out
and hooking all your gear up is probably your number one priority
right now – but before you do, we strongly urge you to take a look
through this manual. Inside, you will find important facts and figures
on the set up, use and applications of your brand new mixer. If
you do happen to be one of the many people who flatly refuse
to read user manuals, then we just urge you to at least glance at
the Instant Setup section. After glancing at or reading through the
manual (we applaud you if you do read the entire manual), please
store it in a place that is easy for you to find, because chances are
there's something you missed the first time around.

BASIC SETUP

Getting Started
1. Turn all power off on the Powerpod mixer. To 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
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.
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.
4. 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 local voltage level is identical to that selected
by the Voltage Selector on the rear of 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 levels of each input channel is
selected, every channel faders should first be set to 0.
2. Choose the channel that you wish to set the level of, and ensure
that 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 that channel, then the guitar should also
be used as it normally would be.
NB. It is probably best to have nothing plugged into channels which are
not being set, just to ensure no signal is inadvertently sent through the
channel.
3. This channel is now ready to be used; you can stop making the
audio signal.
4. You should now select the next channel to set and go back to
follow steps 1 through 3.
