INTRODUCTION

Phonic Corporation would like to congratulate you on the purchase
of one of their extraordinary Powerpod 'R' mixers, powered mixers
that provide a built-in USB recorder and playback device. 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
620 R and Powerpod 740 R both provide a level of dependability
not often found in powered mixers as of late.
The built-in USB recorder provides a means to record lossless
WAV-format audio directly to any USB memory stick. Recording
directly from the main mix (pre-fader), the Powerpod R's recordings
are sampled at 44.1 kHz (the same sampling rate used on compact
discs) and can be later edited and tweaked on any modern computer.
The recorder also enables playback of WAV and MP3 files directly
from a USB memory stick, the audio of which is sent directly to the
main mix.
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 Basic
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
Powerpod, ensuring the local voltage level is identical to that
selected using the voltage selector on the rear of your device.
6. Use the supplied AC cable to connect to an AC 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. Set the channel level control to a level that would allow the
meters (on the left of the Powerpod) to sit around the 0 dB
mark. You may also have to activate phantom power or the
PAD button to ensure the signal is an appropriate level.
4. This channel is now ready to be used; you can stop making the
audio signal.
5. You should now select the next channel to set and go back to
follow steps 1 through 4 for other instruments.
