20 Most Recent Phonic Powerpod 820 / S712 PA Package Questions & Answers

to get the best from this mixer output wise, you need to use 4ohm speakers rated at 150watts each. The 200 wat rating is at 4ohms. You can use 8 ohm speakers, but they recomend speakers at 70watts.Gig wise, you could do a small location that will cater for about 40 people, but that would be pushing your system to the max.Maximum possible set up? well there is a way to work most scenarios you are given, but it is not best practice.Ideally, you know what instruments and vocals you want to go through the system, a rough idea of the size of venues you wil play and then ask questions on a system to suit.

What board are you having to use? What do you need to do? What equipment do you have with it? Amps/ F.O.H cabs, Monitors? Outboard? etc,etc. If you are unable to answer these questions you really should not go near it and get someone in.

You will plug an UNBALANCED 1/4 inplug cable into the MONI jack on the front of the unit. The other end will probably need to be an XLR plug to connect to the Kustom POWERED monitor. Please note that the UNBALANCED output of the Phonic is NOT good engineering practice. The Phonic stuff is normally low-end and they don't do everything correctely, although for a small system it should work. IF you get excessive hum from using a long cable to the Kustom with a "Kludged" unbalanced to balanced cable, you MAY need to use a DI box at the Phonic end to convert the unbalanced Phonic MONI output to a balanced line (XLR to XLR) for a longer run to the Kustom monitor. You might get a 1/4 inch TS to XLR balanced plug that has a transformer in it and use an XLR to XLR cable to the Kustom. Please note that having this plug in the Phonic hangs out and is easily bent over so I would recommend using a right angle connector at the Phonic and plug the 1/4 inch TS to XLR adaoter into that so the yanking of the XLR cable won't break the 1/4 inch adapter off in the Phonic.

Which inputs are you using? If you are using the 2T RTN, you will need to engage the 2T RTN button under CONTROL ROOM SOURCE and engage ASSIGN TO MAIN.

After seeing a LARGE number of the Phoniic things listed for sale as defective, I suspect the amp has a failure and requires repair in a shop unless you are adept at electronic repair. There probably is a design weakness in the unit to have the high failure rate.

Hi,
Yes it's possible. I'm assuming you'd like to use the keyboard amp as a "monitor". In which case, take a 1/4inch TS (instrument cable) jack out of "Aux Send" into the input of your keyboard amp. Make sure the keyboard amp is turned up to a good level and that the Master SEND is turned up on the Desk.
Now you can make your own "monitor mix" for on stage use without effecting the F.O.H mix by turning up the aux pot (knob) on each channel you use.

You can use the CTRL ROOM output also, but make sure it's not giving a "Powered Output" from the internal amplifier in the mixer as you will damage the keyboard amp.

To turn your Phonic PowerPod 7 into a home stereo system, you will need to make some additions and connections to the existing setup. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Connect speakers: You will need to connect a pair of passive speakers to your PowerPod 7. You can do this by connecting the speaker cables from the speakers to the "Speaker Outputs" on the back of the PowerPod 7.
2. Add a source: The PowerPod 7 has two channels, so you can connect a stereo source such as a CD player, turntable, or music streamer. Connect the left and right audio outputs of the source to the corresponding inputs on the PowerPod 7.
3. Connect to power: Make sure to plug the PowerPod 7 into a wall outlet to power it on.
4. Adjust the volume: Use the volume knob on the PowerPod 7 to adjust the overall volume of the system.
5. Tune the sound: If desired, you can adjust the tone controls on the PowerPod 7 to tailor the sound to your preferences.

With these steps, you should have a functional home stereo system using your Phonic PowerPod 7.

Getting Started 1. Turn all power off on the Powerpod mixer. To ensure this, the AC cable should not be connected to the unit. 2. All faders and level controls should be set at the lowest level to ensure no sound is inadvertently sent through the outputs when the device is switched on. All levels should be altered to acceptable degrees after the device is turned on. 3. Plug all necessary instruments and equipment into the device's various inputs as required. This may include line signal devices, as well as microphones and/or guitars, keyboards, etc. 4. Plug any necessary equipment into the device's various outputs. This could include speakers, monitors, signal processors, and/ or recording devices. NB. No devices other than speakers should be connected to the power amp outputs. Plugging inappropriate devices into the mixer will likely cause damage to the device. Also, guitar cables should not be used to connect amplifiers to speakers. 5. Plug the supplied AC cable into the AC inlet on the back of the device, ensuring local voltage level is identical to that selected by the Voltage Selector on the rear of your device. 6. Plug the supplied AC cable into a power outlet of a suitable voltage. 7. Turn the power switch on.

It could be because they don't make it anymore or have stopped making it.

A SWITCH BEHIND IT.

If it's not lighting up check the fuse. If it is lighting up, try all four channels to try to isolate the problem. If it is indeed dead, it will need to go to the shop. However, get an estimate first as it may be more cost effective to replace it instead.
