Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Phonic POWERPACK415 Audio Kit:

1. Placement: Position the mixer on a stable, flat surface. Place the speakers on either side of the mixer, ensuring they are facing the audience or desired listening area. Speakers can be placed on the floor or mounted on compatible speaker stands (not included) using the 35mm adapter.
2. Connect Speakers: Using the provided speaker cables, connect one end to the speaker output jacks on the rear of the mixer (labeled "SPEAKER") and the other end to the input jacks on the rear of each speaker. Ensure a secure connection.
3. Connect Microphone: Plug the dynamic microphone into one of the XLR (Mic/Line) input channels on the front of the mixer.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the mixer's power switch is in the "OFF" position. Connect the power cord to the mixer's power inlet on the rear panel, then plug the other end into a suitable electrical outlet.
5. Initial Volume Settings: Before powering on, turn all channel volume knobs and the master volume knob down to their minimum (counter-clockwise) positions.

Operating Instructions
