Microphone/Instrument Input Connection

After making your main system connections, it is time to get your microphones and instruments connected and ready for performing. Before you get started with your connections we recommend that you take the following tips into consideration:

•When connecting instruments, refrain from using defective cables as they can cause significant noise and loud pops, posing a threat to system speakers.

•When using effects devices for instruments, such as pedals/stomp boxes, use caution when connecting

a chain of multiple effects devices as the output voltage may change and possibly overload the GIG MAN PLUS’ input channel.

•When connecting a guitar, longer cables are recommended to prevent guitar feedback from occurring

The GIG MAN PLUS has one guitar (1/4”), one keyboard (1/4”) and two microphone (1/4”/XLR). Remember that both the XLR and ¼” cannot be used simultaneously.

To connect MICROPHONES via ¼” mic cables, connect the XLR-end of the cable into the MICROPHONE until it locks into place and connect the ¼” plug into either of the MIC 1 or 2 jacks on the GIG MAN PLUS.

To connect MICROPHONES via XLR mic cables, connect the XLR-F end of the cable into the MICROPHONE until it locks into place and connect the XLR-M end into either of the BALANCED MIC 1 or 2 jacks on the GIG MAN PLUS’ rear panel.

To connect a GUITAR, connect a ¼” instrument cable from the GUITAR’s ¼” output to the GIG MAN PLUS’ ¼” GUITAR input.

To connect a KEYBOARD, connect a ¼” instrument cable from the KEYBOARD’s ¼” output to the GIG MAN PLUS’ ¼” KEYBOARD input.

*The Balanced XLR Mic Inputs on the Rear Panel Can Be Used Instead of the 1/4" Mic Inputs

AC Device Connections

The GIG MAN PLUS has an AC power outlet on the rear panel to provide power to a connecting device. Please note that a device with a power consumption rating over 200W should not be connected as that exceeds the allowable power feed. Doing so may cause serious damage to both devices and may void your warranty.
