1. MIC INPUT JACKS (CHs 1,2)
The balanced XLR input connects to microphones,
DI boxes and multicores.
2. LINE INPUT JACKS (CHs 1,2)
This is a ¼" jack connector which connects to line-level
signal sources (for example, keyboards, CD players and
wireless microphone receivers). The input is balanced
(TRS connector) but can also be used with unbalanced
connectors (TS connector).
3. LINE INPUT JACKS (CHs 3/4 to 5/6)
The stereo channels consist of two line inputs (¼" jacks),
one for the left and one for the right channel. The inputs
are unbalanced (TRS connectors). These channels can
also be used as mono channels by connecting to the
jack labeled “L” (left).
4. GAIN CONTROL
The GAIN CONTROL adjusts the input gain.
Be sure to set this control fully counter-clockwise before
you connect or disconnect a signal source to or from
one of the inputs.
MONO: The first value range between 0 and +50 refers
to the microphone input, indicating the degree of
amplification applied to the input's signal. The second
value range between -35 and +15 dB refers to the
amplification of the line input.
STEREO: The first value range between 0 and +40 refers
to the microphone input, indicating the degree of
amplification applied to the input's signal. The second
value range between -20 and +20 dB refers to the
amplification of the line input.
5. EQUALIZER
Hi
The high-frequency range is processed with a shelving
filter above 12 kHz. You can boost or cut the bands up
to 15 dB. When in center position (0 dB), the equalizer
has a flat response.
MID
The HIGH MID control adjusts the mid frequency range.
This is a peak filter which boosts and cuts the
frequencies centered at 2,5 kHz. You can boost or cut
the bands up to 15 dB. When in center position (0 dB),
the equalizer has a flat response.
Low
The low-frequency range is processed with a shelving
filter below 80 Hz. You can boost or cut the bands up to
15 dB. When in center position (0 dB), the equalizer has
a flat response.

Order code: D2281
6. AUX/POST
The aux bus is used as additional, flexible send paths for various applications. The AUX control adjusts the
volume level of the channel signal in the aux bus. The signal is tapped after the channel fader and
therefore is affected by the position of the channel fader.
7. PAN/BAL CONTROL.
The PAN control determines the position of the channel signal in the stereo mix to which the channel
signal is routed.
8. PEAK LED
The PEAK LED lights up as soon as the channel's level is too high. In this case, reduce the channel's input
amplification with the GAIN control. The Peak LED lights at a level of 3 dB below clipping.
9. LEVEL
The LEVEL control adjusts the level of the channel signal as part of the main mix.
10. MAIN MIX
Use this control to adjust the output level of the main
mix.
11. PHONES/CTRL-ROOM
The PHONES/CONTROL ROOM control adjusts the
volume level of all solo signals routed to the
headphone and the CONTROL ROOM outputs.
12. 2-TRACK SIGNAL PATH
If you push down the 2 TRACK SIGNAL PATH switch, the
2 TRACK IN signal will be routed to the CONTROL
ROOM output. Push the switch again, the 2TRACK IN
signal will be routed into the MAIN MIX output.
13. 2-TK IN
This control allows you to adjust the level of the 2-tk in.
14. OUTPUT LEVEL
This stereo 4 segments LED meter will indicate the level
of the overall output signal.
15. ST RETURNS
This control adjusts the ST RETURN signal to the MAIN
MIX output.
16. PHANTOM POWER ON/OFF SWITCH
Phantom power is used for operating a capacitor
microphone. As a rule, dynamic microphones can still
be used with phantom power, provided they are
wired in a balanced configuration.
17. PHANTOM LED
This LED indicates when the phantom power is
switched on for the microphone inputs.
18. PWR LED
This LED indicates when the power is switched on.

26. POWER ON/OFF
Use the POWER switch to turn on the mixing console. The POWER switch
should always be in the “Off” position when you are about to connect
your unit to the mains.
Installation and connection
At this point you are in a position to successfully operate your GIG-62 Mixing Console. However, we
advise you to carefully read the following section to be a real master of your own mixer. Not paying
enough attention to the input signal level, to the routing of the signal and the assignment of the signal will
result in unwanted distortion, a corrupted signal or no sound at all. So you should follow these procedures
for every single channel:
Before connecting mics or instruments, make sure that the power of all your system components,
including the mixer, are turned off. Also, make sure that all the input and output controls are
turned down. This will avoid damage to your speakers and avoid excessive noise.
Properly connect all external devices such as mics, power amplifiers, speakers, effect processor
etc.
Now, turn on the power of any peripheral devices, then power up the mixer.
Set the output level of your mixer or the connected power amplifier at no more than 75%.
Set the CONTROL ROOM/PHONE level at no more than 50%.
Position HI, MID and LOW EQ controls on middle position.
Position panoramic (PAN/BAL) control on center position.
While speaking into the mic (or playing the instrument), adjust the channel Level control so that
the PEAK LED will blink occasionally, in this way you will maintain good headroom and dynamic
range.
You can shape the tone of each channel by adjusting the equalizer controls as desired.
Now repeat the same sequence for all the input channels. The main LEDs can move up into the
red section, in this case you can adjust the overall output level through the MAIN MIX control.

Connection Cables
Take care of your cables, always holding them by the connectors and avoiding knots and twists when
coiling them: This gives the advantage of increasing their life and reliability. Periodically check your
cables. A great number of problems (faulty contacts, ground hum, discharges, etc.) are caused entirely
by using unsuitable or faulty cables.
For these applications the unit provides 1/4" TRS and XLR connectors to easily interface with most
professional audio devices. Follow the configuration examples below for your particular connection.
