47. Solid Phonic System (K-16 Plus only)
Using this switch (featured on the K-16 Plus only) will enable the
user to give both the high and low frequencies of their sound a
little boost to improve the overall robustness of the audio. There
is no guarantee your sound will improve with the sPs activated,
however, so it's probably desirable to audition the mixer's sound
with this switch on and off, and decide which is better for your
purposes.
48. Graphic Equalizer
This stereo 7 band graphic equalizer allows users to adjust the
frequency response of a signal, with a maximum of 12 dB of
boost or cut for each of the frequencies. The aUX 1 / l/R button
alternates the use of the equalizer between the AUX 1 bus and
MaIN l/R bus signals, accordingly. When l/R is selected, the
equalizer is applied to not only both the main stereo signal (Main
and Speaker outputs), but also to the mono signal. Pushing the
on button in activates the equalizer, which is accompanied by an
illuminated lED.
One feature, built into the Powerpod K-12 Plus and K-16 Plus's
graphic equalizer, is a Feedback Detection System. The individual
LEDs located on the sliding VR controls of the equalizer will
illuminate when feedback occurs on that particular frequency
band. By reducing the level of that frequency band you can
quite effectively remove the feedback on that frequency; after
which the lED will turn off. If the FBD button is pushed in, the
feedback detection is active for the final AUX 1 signal, whereas
if it is released, the feedback detection is active for the MaIN
l-R signal. It is recommended that users switch the the aUX 1 /
l/R button to the same setting as the FBD button, as to ensure
simpler adjustment of frequencies that have produced feedback.

49. Stand-by Switch and Indicator
This switch enables and disables a mute of channels 1 through
to 15/16 on the K-16 Plus, and channels 1 through to 11/12
on the K-12 Plus and 1860 Plus. This feature is handy in live
performances, due to the fact that the Tape In and stereo aUX
Returns are not muted when it is activated, allowing an audio
signal from cD players or other input devices to be played during
performance breaks, while still ensuring microphones fail to
produce hideously sounding feedback (as opposed to feedback
that actually sounds good, of course). Pushing of the stand-by
switch is accompanied by an illuminated lED.

50. Phantom Power Switch
When this switch is in the on position it activates +48V of
Phantom Power for channels 1 through to 8 on the K-12 Plus,
and channels 1 through to 12 on the K-16 Plus, allowing
condenser microphones to be used on these channels. activation
of Phantom Power is accompanied by an illuminated lED on
these two models. On the Powerpod 1860 Plus, this switch has 3
positions, allowing users to activate phantom power for channels
1 through 8, channels 1 through 4 only, or no channels at all.

51. Stereo Return Controls
These controls are used to adjust the
audio level that is received by the stereo
return input jacks. They consist of 2
auxiliary level controls, for adjusting the
level to be sent to the auxiliary mixing bus,
and a level control, for adjusting levels to
be sent to the main mixing bus.
The corresponding PFl (Pre-Fader listen)
buttons allow you to send the audio of the
stereo return inputs directly to the cTRl
RM/PHONES control, unaltered by any
level controls. activation of the PFl is
accompanied by an illuminated lED.
52. Tape In Controls
This control is used to adjust the level of
the Tape In input that will be sent to the
main mix. The corresponding PFl (Pre
Fader listen) button allows you to send the audio of the Tape In
to the cTRl RM/PHONES control. In this instance, the Tape In
control in no way affects the signal sent to the PFl/aFl bus.
53. Zone 2 Controls
This control is used to adjust the level
of the zone 2 feed (duplicated from the
MaIN l/R mix) that will be sent to the
zone 2 output. The corresponding aFl
(after Fader listen) button allows you
to send the zone 2 audio feed to the
cTRl RM/PHONES control. activation
of the aFl is accompanied by an
illuminated lED.
54. Control Room / Phones Control
This knob controls the level of the
audio to be sent to the cTRl RM/
PHONES Output, located on the top panel of the K-12 Plus, K-16
Plus and 1860 mixers. any PFl that is activated has priority over
all other signals, and is able to run simultaneously with another
PFl signal. If no PFl buttons are pushed down, then any aFl
that is activated will be used instead (an aFl can also work
simultaneously with other aFls). likewise, if neither a PFl nor
an aFl is active, the MaIN l/R mix will be used.
