The Main Section
Controlling the master volume. The MAIN MIX knob is used to boost or reduce
the overall level being sent to the Main outputs of the GigaMix.
The graphic equalizer. In addition to the three bands of EQ possessed by each
channel, the Main section of the GigaMix has a 9-band graphic equalizer. This
affects the overall sound of the mix before it is sent to the Main outputs.
Controlling the master effects level. Use the EFFECT RETURN knob to adjust
the level of the effects for the entire mix.
Adjusting the CD/Tape volume. To raise or lower the volume of the incoming
pre-recorded music, use the 2-TRACK RETURN LEVEL knob.
Phantom power. If you are using microphones that require phantom power, press
the PHANTOM POWER button. This will not affect microphones that do not use
phantom power.
Rumble filter. If you are experiencing excess microphone-handling noise or other
low-frequency noises bleeding into your microphones through the mic stands, for
example, press the RUMBLE FILTER button. It will reduce all frequencies below 75
Hz (which also can help to reduce ground hum).
Power Amp Mode (GigaMix 6FX and -8 FX only). This switch configures the
GigaMix for different amplification needs. When it is set to MAIN-MAIN, both of
the rear-panel outputs will transmit the signal being fed to the Main section. When
the switch is set to MAIN-MON, the Main mix will be sent to Speaker Output 1
and the Monitor mix will be sent to Speaker Output 2.
The Monitor Section
Controlling the monitor volume. The MONITOR MIX knob is used to boost or
reduce the overall level being sent to the monitors.
The graphic equalizer
(GigaMix 6FX and -8FX only). In addition to the EQ of
each channel, the Monitor section of these two GigaMix models has a 9-band
graphic equalizer. This affects the overall sound of the mix before it is sent to the
Monitor outputs.
Controlling the monitor effects level. Use the EFFECT RETURN knob to adjust
the level of the effects for the entire monitor mix.
