INTRODUCTION

Phonic Corp would like to congratulate you on the purchase of one of their extraordinary Powerpod Box 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, simpliﬁ ed signal routing abilities, and ultra-smooth controls, the Powerpods 620, 740, 1060 and 1062 Deluxe all provide 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 ﬁ nd important facts and ﬁ gures on the set up, use and applications of your brand new mixer. If you do happen to be one of the many people who ﬂ atly 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 ﬁ nd, because chances are there’s something you missed the ﬁ rst time around.

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 ampliﬁ ers 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 ﬁ rst 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.

BASIC SETUP

4. You should now select the next channel to set and

go back to follow steps 1 through 3.

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.

MAKING CONNECTIONS

Channel Inputs

The Powerpod 620, 740, 1060 and 1062 Deluxe Box Mixers supply various numbers input channels. The 620 Deluxe features a total of 6 channels, 2 of which accept stereo signals. The 740 Deluxe, on the other hand, features a total of 7 input channels, 3 of which accept stereo signals. The Powerpods 1060 and 1062 Deluxe both feature a total on 10 input channels, including 3 which feature stereo inputs. Each channel features a microphone XLR jack and at least one 1/4” Phone Jack for balanced and unbalanced connections. Each stereo channel features different inputs jacks, accepting either microphone inputs or stereo line inputs.

1. XLR Lo-Z Inputs

These XLR microphone inputs can be used in conjunction with a wide range of microphones, such as professional condenser, dynamic or ribbon microphones, with standard XLR male connectors. With low noise preampliﬁ ers, 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 should be activated.

3. Stereo Channel Inputs

Each of the Powerpod 740, 1060 and 1062 Deluxe Powered Mixers provide 3 stereo input channels (the Powerpod 620 Deluxe has 2), the inputs of which differ slightly to the mono channels. The 3-pin XLR inputs featured are for the addition of microphones with typical XLR male inputs, where the 2 Line 1/4" TS jacks are for the addition of various stereo line level input devices, such as keyboards. If you wish to use a monaural device on a stereo return input, simply plug the device’s 1/4" phone jack into the left (mono) stereo input and leave the right input bare. The signal will be duplicated to the right due to the miracle of jack normalizing.

Master Section

4. Tape In (L and R)

The ﬁ rst of these inputs accommodates RCA cables from such devices as tape and CD players. In addition to these inputs, however, Phonic has incorporated a mini stereo jack for the inclusion of such devices as mini disc (MD), portable CD, and MP3 players (such as the Apple iPod), as well as laptop computers. The line from this feed is directed to the Tape In mixing bus, before being fed through to the Main L/R mixing bus.

5. Record Outputs (L and R)

As with the T ape In ports, these outputs will accommodate RCA cables, able to be fed to a variety of recording devices. Also, similar to the Tape In ports, included are mini stereo jacks for the addition of recording devices such as MD players and laptop computers. A trim control is featured on these outputs to accommodate for devices with different recording levels.

2. 1/4" Hi-Z and Super Hi-Z Input Jacks These inputs accept typical 1/4” TRS or TS unbalanced inputs. The Hi-Z inputs accept balanced TRS inputs, and are for Microphone to line-level device (such as synthesizers and drum machines), where the Super Hi-Z inputs accept TS unbalanced sources, and can be used in conjunction with devices with higher impedance levels (including electric guitars and basses).

NB. When using a line-level device on your mixer, the PAD -25 button

should be initiated.

6. AUX Inputs

These TS inputs (which are mono inputs on the Powerpods 620 and 740 Deluxe, stereo inputs on the Powerpods 1060 and 1062 Deluxe) connect the mixer with parallel external devices, such as sub mixers or external effect processors, receiving the processed signal from another source and feeding it to the AUX mixing buses. The stereo AUX inputs (featured on the Powerpods 1060 and 1062 Deluxe only) can be used as monaural inputs by simply plugging the device’s 1/4" phone jack into the left (mono) stereo input and leave the right input bare. Your good friend, Jack Normalizing, will take care of the rest.

7. Foot Switch Jacks

These ports are for the inclusion of a non-latch foot switch, used to remotely adjust properties of the built-in Digital Effect processor. The Powerpods 620 and 740 Deluxe feature a single foot switch jack, which allows the user to remotely turn on and off the digital effects. The Powerpods 1060 and 1062 Deluxe, on the other hand, feature 2 foot switch jacks, the lower of which jack is used to adjust the tap delay properties, and the upper is used for the turning digital effects on and off.

8. EFX (Effect) Outputs

These 1/4" TS outputs are the ﬁ nal output from the EFX send mixing bus. This feed may be used to connect to an external digital effect processor, or even to an ampliﬁ er and speakers, depending on your desired settings.

9. Monitor Outputs

These 1/4" TS outputs are the ﬁ nal output from the Monitor send mixing bus. This feed may be used to connect to an ampliﬁ er and speaker. Feeding the output from the Monitor out to an ampliﬁ er (and possibly an equalizer) and then to a ﬂ oor monitor speaker allows artists to monitor their own instruments or vocals whilst performing, or an engineer to monitor the mix.

10. Main Outputs

These jacks will output the ﬁ nal stereo line level signal sent from the main mixing bus. The primary purpose of these jacks is to send the Main output to external devices that may run in parallel with the mixer. This may include additional power ampliﬁ ers, mixers, PA systems, as well as a wide range of other possible signal processors. The Powerpods 620 and 740 Deluxe both feature a monaural main outputs, where the Powerpods 1060 and 1062 both feature stereo main output jacks.

11. Power Amp Inputs (Powerpods 1060 and 1062 Deluxe Only)

These inputs support 1/4" TS plugs and can be used for the inclusion of an external line level stereo signals to the built-in power ampliﬁ er. If a device is connected to the power amp inputs, the main feed will automatically bypass the power amp and the inserted feed will be ampliﬁ ed and sent to the Speaker Outputs instead.

12. Speaker Outputs

These jacks are used to connect to speakers, fed from the internal power amp. On all models, they consist of 1/4" Phone Jacks. The Amp Select switch determines the operation of these jacks. If the Amp Select switch is set to "Main L-R (Stereo)" or "Main / Moni" - or "Main 1 / Main 2" on the Powerpods 620 and 740 Deluxe - a single speaker with a 4 to 8 ohm load can be connected to jack A on both the left and right - or Main 1 and Main 2

- Speaker Outputs, or two speakers with a load between 8 and 16 ohms can be connected to both jacks A and B of the left and right (Main 1 / 2) Speaker Outputs. When using Bridge Mono mode, use the Speaker Output labeled "(L+R) Bridge" only to connect a Speaker with a loading between 8 and 16 ohms. Refer to the Speaker set up chart to the right for a more detailed indication of how to connect speakers.

NB. Due to the fact that the signal has been processed by the power

amp, these ports should be used in conjunction with passive speakers only to avoid damaging any other equipment.

Speaker Set Up

13. Monitor Speaker Outputs (Powerpod 1060 Deluxe only)

These 1/4" Phone Jacks are used to connect to speakers for monitoring purposes, fed from the internal power amp. These Monitor Speaker Jacks are featured on the Powerpod 1060 Deluxe only.

NB. Due to the fact that the signal has been processed by the power

amp, these ports should be used in conjunction with passive speakers only to avoid damaging any other equipment.
