MAKING CONNECTIONS

Channel Inputs

The Powerpod 620 R and Powerpod 740 R supply various numbers
input channels. The 620 R features a total of 6 channels, 2 of which
accept stereo signals. The 740 R, on the other hand, features a total
of 7 input channels, 3 of which accept stereo signals. Stereo signals
accepted by these powered mixers are summed for the main mix,
as these mixers are 'dual mono' rather than stereo.
1. XLR Lo-Z and Mic 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 preamplifiers, these inputs serve for
crystal clear sound replication. Phantom power can be applied on
channels 1 through 4.
NB. When using an unbalanced microphone, please ensure phantom power
is switched off. However, when using condenser microphones the phantom
power should be activated.
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 through the Hi-z and super Hi-z inputs,
the PAD -25 button should be initiated.
3. Stereo Channel Inputs
Each of the Powerpod 740 R provides 3 stereo input connectors,
while the Powerpod 620 R has 2. The inputs of these channels
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
mono device on a stereo return input, simply plug the device's 1/4"
phone jack into either of the input connectors and leave the other
input bare.

POWERPOD 620 R / POWERPOD 740 R

Master Section

The Powerpod 620 R and Powerpod 740 R feature a number of input
and output methods, depending on what your setup requires. RCA
record outputs, tape inputs, 1/4" auxiliary inputs and monitor outputs
are included – amongst a range of other connection possibilities.
4. Tape Inputs (L and R)
The first of these inputs accommodates RCA cables from such
devices as tape and CD players. The line from this feed is controlled
by the Tape In level control, before being fed through to the main
mix.
5. Record Outputs (L and R)
As with the Tape In ports, these outputs will accommodate RCA
cables, able to be fed to a variety of recording devices. The
record output is taken directly from the main mix. A trim control is
featured on these outputs to accommodate for devices with different
recording levels.
6. AUX Inputs
This TS input connects 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.
7. Monitor Outputs
These 1/4" TS outputs are the final output from the Monitor send
mixing bus. This feed may be used to connect to an amplifier and
speaker. Feeding the output from the Monitor out to an amplifier (and
possibly an equalizer) and then to a floor monitor speaker allows
artists to monitor their own instruments or vocals whilst performing,
or an engineer to monitor the mix.
8. Main Outputs
This jack will output the final stereo line level signal sent from the
3
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 amplifiers, mixers,
PA systems, as well as a wide range of other possible signal
processors.
