1. Connecting up your loudspeakers to the GigRac
Note: Make sure your GigRac is not powered up. This
is very important to prevent any damage to either the
GigRac or your loudspeakers!
Using good quality speaker cables connect the loudspeakers to the
Speaker outputs on the rear of the GigRac.
If you have cables equipped with Neutrik Speakon® connectors then use
the Speakon® connectors on the rear of the GigRac. Alternatively if
you have cables equipped with jack plugs then use the jack sockets on
the rear of the GigRac.
Make sure that the Main Master Volume control
(1 -
see the key on
page 9
)
and the Monitor (Mon) Master Volume control
(2)
are turned
fully down.
Decide if you want to configure the 2 internal amplifiers to work as a
stereo pair, or mono mix and monitor. Set the amplifier source select
switch (3) as desired. It is assumed in these quick start instructions
that you have configured the amps as a stereo pair.
Now switch the GigRac on using the Power switch on the rear of the
unit.
2. Plugging in a vocal microphone
Note: Before connecting a microphone to channels 1-4,
make sure that the 48V phantom power switch (4) is
switched off (The red LED should not be illuminated).
Connect the microphone cable to one of the first four inputs on the
front of the GigRac (5) .
(The inputs on the GigRac can receive either 3-Pin XLR or standard
Jack connectors.)
