the Gigrac and allows the playback in signal to be heard without
interference from other signal sources.
(20) Standby Mute Switch
This switch mutes all inputs to the Gigrac except for the signal from the
playback in connectors. It also mutes the FX Bus Output and the Monitor
Output. The red LED illuminates when the mute is active. See the block
diagram for signal routing details.
(21) Phones Output
Connect headphones to the Phones Output. The Phones Output is driven
from the main L and R signals. The overall volume of the headphones
output is determined by using the Main (Phones) Master Volume control
(10).
(22) Main Outputs
The Main Outputs carry the Main Mix L and R signals after they have
passed through the Main Master Volume control and the Graphic
Equaliser. These outputs can be used to send the Main Mix to other
amplifiers or powered speakers or alternatively it can be used to send a
‘submix’ to another mixer’s input channel or another recording device.
(23) Mon Output
The Mon Output carries the Monitor Mix signal derived from the Mon
controls on each channel. The Mon output level is controlled by the Mon
Master Volume control (11). The signal also pases through the Monitor
Graphic Equaliser. This output is used mainly to send the Mon Mix signal
to an on stage fold back speaker system of some kind.
(24) FX Bus Output
The FX Bus Output carries the FX Mix signal as derived from the FX
controls on each channel. This allows additional external effects
processing devices to be used in conjunction with the GigRac’s built in
GigFX digital effects processor.
(25) Submix Inputs
The Submix Inputs (L & R) allow the output from another mixer to be
blended with the Main Mix Outputs of the GigRac. These inputs could
also be used for connecting an effects return signal from an external
effects processing device.
