Channel Setup
1.
To ensure the correct audio levels of each input
channel is selected, every channel should first
be switched off and all faders 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.
3.
Press the PFL button of the channel, allowing
you to see the audio level in the master level
meter.
4.
Set the gain so the level meter indicates the
audio level is around 0 dB.
5.
This channel is now ready to be used; you can
stop making the audio signal.
6.
Release the PFL button.
7.
You should now select the next channel to set
and go back to follow steps 1 through 6.
MAKING CONNECTIONS
Channel Inputs
1. XLR Inputs
These jacks accept XLR inputs for balanced and
unbalanced signals. They can be used in conjunction with
microphones such as professional condenser, dynamic or
ribbon microphones - with standard XLR male connectors.
With low noise preamplifiers, 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 of the corresponding channel should be activated.
2. INS (Insert Jack)
The primary use for these TRS phone
jacks is for the addition of external
devices, such as dynamic processors
or equalizers, to the orresponding mono
input channel. This will require a
Y cord that can send and receive
signals of the mixer to and from an
external processor.

3. Line Inputs
These 1/4" TRS inputs are for the addition of various line-
level device such as keyboards.
4. Stereo Inputs
The Powerpod 1460 Powered Mixers provides 2 stereo
input channels, each feature 2 1/4" TS jacks, which allow
for the addition of various stereo line level input devices,
such as keyboards. If you wish to use a monaural device
on a stereo 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
5. Tape Inputs
These inputs accommodate RCA plugs from such devices
as tape and CD Players. This feed is directed to the tape
in mixing bus before being fed through to the Main L/R
mixing bus.
6. Tape Outputs
As with the Tape Ins, these outputs will accommodate
RCA connectors, allowing the main signal to be fed to a
variety of recording devices.
