Mains Power Inlet This port is used to plug the socket end of the included AC cable. The other end should be connected to an appropriate power source. Ensure you check local voltage levels are consistent with those needed by this device before attempting to connect to a power source. 17. LOW (Low Frequency) Control This control is used to give a shelving boost or cut of ±15 dB to low frequency (80 Hz) sounds. This will adjust the amount of bass included in the audio of the channel, and bring more warmth and punch to drums and bass guitars. Monitor Control This control alters the signal level that is being sent to the Monitor mixing buses, the signal of which is suitable for connecting stage monitors, allowing artists to listen to the music that is being playing. Effect Control This control alters the signal level that is sent to the Effect output, which can be used in conjunction with external signal processors (the signal of which can be returned to mixer via the stereo return inputs), or simply as additional auxiliary outputs for any means required. The Effect control also adjusts the level of audio that is sent to the built-in digital effect engine. PAN/BAL Control (Powerpods 865 and 885 Plus only) This alternates the degree or level of audio that the left and right side of the main mix should receive. [. . . ] Master Controls The two VR Master level controls allow users to adjust the final output of the Monitor and Main left and right signals (Main mono on the Powerpod 745 Plus), before sending the signals to the built-in power amplifier. Phantom Power Switch and Indicator When this switch is in the on position it activates +48V of Phantom Power for channels 1 through to 8 on the 865 and 885 Plus, and channels 1 through 7 on the 745 Plus, allowing condenser microphones to be used on these channels. The corresponding LED will illuminate when the Master Phantom Power is activated. Ensure you turn the channel level control, as well as the main and monitor master level controls, to a minimum (meaning all the way to the left) before activating Phantom Power, as to avoid causing unwanted noise, or even damage to your audio system. 39.
