22. Foot Switch Jacks
These ports are for the inclusion of a foot switch,
used to remotely adjust properties of the built-
in Digital Effect processor. The left jack is used
to adjust the tap delay properties, where the
right jack is used for the turning on and off of
digital effects (these are for use with digital effect
processor 2 on the K-12 Plus and K-16 Plus).
23. Fans
These vari-speed fans are used for the cooling of the mixer. Do
not obstruct in any way to ensure the product does not over heat.

CONTROLS AND SETTINGS

Channel Controls

It is important that all channels are independently disabled while
not in use. lower the corresponding level control when activating
a channel; the volume level should
then be set to an appropriate level.
24. Gain Control
This controls the sensitivity of the
input signal, which is sent to the
corresponding input channel. The
gain should be adjusted to a level that
allows the maximum use of the audio,
while still maintaining the quality of the
feed. This can be accomplished by
adjusting it to a level that will allow the
peak indicator occasionally illuminate.
25. High-Pass Filter (75 Hz)
This button will activate a high-pass
filter that reduces all frequencies below
75 Hz at 18 dB per Octave, helping to
remove any unwanted ground noise or
stage rumble.
26. HF (High Frequency) Control
This control is used to give a
shelving boost or cut of 15 dB to
high frequency (12 kHz) sounds.
This will adjust the amount of
treble included in the audio of
the channel, adding strength
and crispness to sounds such as
guitars, cymbals and synthesizers.
27. MF (Mid Frequency) Control
This control is used to provide
a peaking style of boost and cut
to the level of middle frequency
sounds at a range of 15 dB. The
mono channels on the K-12 Plus
and K-16 Plus provides a sweep
control, allowing you to select a
center frequency between 100
Hz and 8 kHz, whereas on all
channels on the 1860 Plus (and
stereo channels on the K-12
Plus and K-16 Plus), the center
frequency is set at 2.5 kHz.

/ K-12 / K-16
changing mid-range frequencies of an audio feed can be rather
difficult when used in a professional audio mix. It is often more
desirable to cut middle frequency sounds rather than boost them,
soothing overly harsh vocal and instrument sounds in the audio.
28. LF (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.
29. Auxiliary Controls 1 and 2
These controls alter the signal level that is being sent to the
auxiliary 1 and 2 mixing buses, the signal of which is suitable for
connecting stage monitors, allowing artists to listen to the music
that is being playing.
30. Effect (EFX) Controls 1 and 2
These controls alter the signal level that is sent to the EFX 1 and
2 outputs, which can be used in conjunction with external signal
processors (this signal of which can be returned to mixer via the
stereo return inputs), or simply as additional auxiliary outputs for
any means required. These controls also adjust the level of audio
that is sent to the built-in digital effect engines (in the case of the
Powerpod 1860 Plus, EFX 2 controls the signal sent to the built-in
effects processor).
31. PAN/BAL
This alternates the degree or level of audio that the left and right
side of the main mix should receive. On mono channels, this
control will adjust the level that the left and right should receive,
where as on a stereo channel, adjusting the Bal control will
attenuate the left or right audio signals accordingly.
32. On Button and Indicator
This turns the channel on, allowing the user to use the feed from
the channel's inputs to supply the MaIN l/R, MONO, aUX 1 and
2 and the EFX 1 and 2 buses. The corresponding indicator will be
illuminated when turned on.
When the channel is not activated, the PFl button will still allow
the user to send the channel's audio signal to the cTRl RM/
PHONES mixing bus for monitoring purposes.
33. Peak Indicator
This lED indicator will illuminate when the device hits high peaks,
6 dB before overload occurs. It is best to adjust the gain of the
channel so that the PEaK indicator lights up on intervals. This will
ensure a greater dynamic range your audio.
34. SIG Indicator
25
This lED indicator will illuminate when a signal of the
corresponding channel reaches -20dB, giving an indication of any
signal being sent through to the input channel.
35. PFL button and Indicator
The PFl - or Pre-Fader listen - button
is pushed to allow the signal of a
corresponding channel to be sent to
the cTRl RM/PHONES control (pre-
fader, post-EQ), for use with either
headphones or studio monitors. This
allows easier setting of the input
gain and tracking of audio by sound
engineers. The corresponding green
lED will illuminate when PFl is
activated.
36. Channel Level Control (Fader)
This control will alter the signal level
that is sent from the corresponding
channel to the main mixing bus.
