cables.
3. Cleck the AC Voltage before connecting the AC plug.
4. Do not obstruct the back panel at all for proper ventilation.
CHANNEL STRIP DESCRIPTION
1. LOW EQ
The control has shelving response giving 15dB of boost or cut
at 80Hz. Add warmth to vocals or extra punch to guitars, drums
and synths by turning to the right. Turn to the left to reduce stage
rumble, hum or to improve a mushy sound.
2. HIGH EQ
Turn to the right to boost high frequencies, adding crispness to
percussion from drum machines, cymbals and synths. Turn to the
left to cut these frequencies, reducing sibilance or hiss. The control
has a shelving response giving 15dB of boost or cut at 12kHz.
3. LEVEL CONTROL
The Level Control determines the proportion of the channel signal
in the mix, and provides a clear visual indication of channel level.
4. MIC & LINE INPUT
The MIC input accepts XLR phone jack while the LINE input
accepts a 1/4” type phone jack. Please use a low impedance
microphone and a properly wired cable for best results. You can
only use one of the two connectors at the same time.
5. EFFECT
This knob decides the signal level which will be sent to the built-in
digital delay effect control.
MASTER SECTION DESCRIPTION
6. DIGITAL DELAY
The signal from the input channels, processed by the built-in digital
delay will feed to the master output. There are three knobs here
to control the effect of digital delay.
TIME - This knob adjusts the internal time of the delays; turn to the
right to increase the interval time between two delays.
REPEAT - To increase the rate of the delays, turn this knob to the
right. You will hear the signal repeat at a faster rate.
LEVEL - The control on the left will adjust the nal output level
of the digital delay.
7. POWER INDICATOR

USB RECORDER DESCRIPTION
The USB Recorder’s source signal is taken directly from each
individual input channel. While the recordings are indeed in stereo,
they are also limited by the Powerpod 415RW’s circuitry, which is
mono rather than stereo. When playing back a signal, the signal
will pass through the USB In control and then is sent directly to
the main mix. Playback of WMA and MP3 with bit rates of up to
320 kbit/s is possible.
12. DISPLAY
This display will display the track number currently being played.
It also offers play, pause and record indicators as well as the cur-
rent play/record time.
13. USB PORT
Connect your USB ash drive to this input. Once a drive is con-
nected, the les will initiate and the main menu will appear on
screen. Users are advised to format their USB memory sticks with
the FAT-32 le system.

currently displayed track. Starting a track after it is paused will
resume the track from the point at which it was paused (in both
record and playback mode). When in recording mode, push and
hold this button to nalize recordings.
15. BACK/NEXT BUTTONS
Pushing these buttons will allow users to skip back and forwards
between tracks. When the menu is activated, these buttons are
used to scroll through on screen options.

20. SPEAKER OUTPUT JACKS
Speakers can be connected to these sockets, two speakers can
be connected to the powered mixer. When using 2 speakers at the
same time, use 8~16 ohms speakers. When using one speaker
only, use a 4~8 ohms speaker. The total minimum required load
is 4 ohms. If the total load is less than 4 ohms, it may damage
this powered mixer.
21. MAIN OUT / AMP IN
This unbalanced insert point is a break between the main out and
built-in amplier to allow the main output to be sent to an external
signal processor or power amplier. The insert is a 1/4’ phone
jack socket which is normally bypassed. When a jack is inserted,
the signal path is broken.
The main output signal appears on the TIP of the plug and the
external signal is returned on the RING. A “Y” cable may be
required to connect to equipment with separate send and return
jacks as shown below:

4. Audio signals received through the Bluetooth interface are
controlled via the Bluetooth rotary control.
5. If you cannot connect to the Phonic’s Bluetooth input, it might
be because it is already connected to another device or
someone has erroneously connected to it. Please restart your
Phonic product and attempt the Bluetooth connection again.

turn “Airplane Mode” or “Flight Mode” on to stop phone calls
or push notications from interrupting your audio.
NOTE: Not all modern Bluetooth-enabled devices allow for use of external
audio playback. In the case of laptops in particular, Bluetooth may be used
for data transmission only - depending on the model. This is a limitation
of these devices and you will not be able to use the Powerpod ‘RW’ Blue-
tooth function with these devices.
