37. Stereo Channel A/B Button
When this button is released, the
corresponding stereo channel on the
K-12 Plus, K-16 Plus and 1860 Plus's
will receive its signal from the 1/4"
inputs. However, when this button
is pushed in, the stereo channel will
receive the corresponding stereo
Rca input's signal.
Digital Effect Processor
The K-12 Plus and K-16 Plus both supply you with two effect
channels, where the 1860 provides only one.
38. Digital Effect Display
This 2-digital numeric display shows the
program number that is currently applied
to your EFX audio signal. When you rotate
the Program control, you can scroll through
different program numbers; however the display
will revert back to the original program if a new
program is not selected within a few seconds.
For a list of available effects, please observe
the Digital Effect Table in appendix a.
39. Sig and Clip Indicators
located within the Digital Effect Display are clip and Sig lEDs.
The Sig lED will light up when any signal is received by the effect
processor, and the clip lED will light up shortly before excessive
signals are dynamically clipped. If the clip lED lights up too
often, it may be advisable to turn down the EFX master control to
ensure the signal level is not excessive.
40. Program Control
This control is used to scroll through the various effects. Turning
the control clockwise will allow users to ascend into higher
program numbers, and turning it counter-clockwise will allow
users to descend into lower program numbers. When turning to
a new program, a small lED will
flash until you push the program
knob down – this will apply the
effect. When a tap-delay effect is
selected, pressing this control will
allow users to select the tap-delay
time.
By pushing the button several times, the effect processor
interprets the time between last two pushes and remembers this
as the delay time – until the button is pushed again. This is kept
even after the power is turned off. When the tap delay effect is
selected, a small lED (located between the two digit display)
will flash within the digital effect display window at the selected
intervals. To see the list of available programs, please check the
Digital Effect Table in appendix a.
41. Auxiliary Controls 1 and 2
These controls alter the level of audio that is being sent to the
corresponding auxiliary mix from the corresponding Digital Effect
Processor.

42. DSP Effect On Button and Indicator
This button is pushed to turn the corresponding effect panel on
or off. When the effect processor is turned on, the corresponding
lED illuminates.
43. Peak Indicator
This lED indicator will illuminate when the Digital Effect
Processor overloads. It is best to adjust the EFX 1 and 2 controls
on input channels so as to ensure the PEaK indicator does not
light up. This will ensure a greater quality of audio.
44. PFL Button and Indicator
This PFl - or Pre-Fader listen
- button is pushed to allow the
processed signal of the digital effect
processor to be sent to the cTRl
RM/PHONES control (pre-fader), for
use with either headphones or studio
monitors. This allows easier tracking
of audio by sound engineers. The
c o r r e s p o n d i n g g r e e n l E D w i l l
illuminate when PFl is activated.
45. DSP Effect Faders 1 and 2
Each of these controls adjusts the
level of the audio to be sent from
the corresponding Digital Effect
Processor to the main mixing bus.

46. Power Amp Control Switches
These switches control the activity and the
strength of the power amp. Using the left
switch can alternate between the different
signals which can be processed by the built-
in power amp and routed to the main speaker
outputs on the rear of the device. This switch
allows you to select from: Stereo, the final
level of which is adjusted by the MaIN l/R
fader; AUX 1/MONO, the final level of which
is adjusted by the aUX 1 fader and MONO
fader; AUX 1/AUX 2 outputs, the final level of
which is adjusted by the aUX 1 and 2 faders,
and; MONO BRIDGE, which is output via professional speaker
output a only, and the volume of which is controlled by the MONO
fader.
NB. When using a mono bridge connection, do not connect a speaker to
either the 1/4" phone jacks, or the professional speaker jack B speaker
connector, located on the rear of the mixer.
The amplification power can be changed using the right switch
from 100 Watts for each channel, to 300 or 500 Watts per channel
on the K-12 Plus and K-16 Plus only, the selection of which will
depend on the size of a venue and the input capacity of the
speakers you have chosen to use. This feature is not included in
the Powerpod 1860 Plus.
