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 FILTE R button. It will reduce all frequencies below 75 Hz (which also can
help to reduce ground hum).
Power Amp Mo de (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.
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.
