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 fnal 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 current play/record time.

13. USB PORT

Connect your USB fash drive to this input. Once a drive is connected, the fles will initiate and the main menu will appear on screen. Users are advised to format their USB memory sticks with the FAT-32 fle system.

14. PLAY BUTTON

Push this button to start and stop playback and recording of the 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 fnalize 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.

16. STOP/MENU BUTTON

Push this button to stop playback or recording when applicable. Push and hold the button to access the USB recorder/player’s main menu.

REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION

17. TAPE IN AND REC OUT

The TAPE IN sockets allow cassette recorders or CD players to be added to the Main output. The RECORD OUTPUT, with RCA phono sockets, provides signal output to a cassette deck and home audio equipment. The nominal output level and impedance are -10dBV/600ohms.

18. POWER CABLE

The Powerpod 415RW features a built-in power cable that can be connected to an appropriate AC power outlet. Ensure the local power levels match those required by your powered mixer. The unit’s required voltage is indicated immediately beside the power cable.

19. POWER SWITCH

This switches the powered mixer on and off. While turn it on, the power on blue LED indicator will light up on the master section of front panel.

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 amplifer to allow the main output to be sent to an external signal processor or power amplifer. The insert is a 1/4phone 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 Ycable may be required to connect to equipment with separate send and return jacks as shown below:

3.If your device asks for a password, please enter “0000”.

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.

6.When using smartphones and tablets, it may be an idea to turn “Airplane Mode” or “Flight Mode” on to stop phone calls or push notifcations 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’ Bluetooth function with these devices.
