Texas: On tour with Soundcraft

Soundcraft

At the heart of live sound

PROFESSIONAL POWERED MIXER

GIGRAC 300 / GIGRAC 600

Even if you’ve never touched a PA

system before, you’ll be

creating a great live sound

for you and your band in

minutes with GigRac.

Packed with professional

features like combined jack/XLR

inputs, precision mic preamps,

superbly musical equalisation, studio quality digital effects, graphic EQ

and independent Main and Monitor mixes, GigRac is also refreshingly

easy to set up, leaving you free to concentrate on your performance.

With GigRac, the amplifier is built-in, with both 300 and 2 x 300 Watt

versions available. Just plug in your mics, instruments, speakers and

monitors, and you’re ready to go.

And while you’re waiting to make it

big, you can relax in the knowledge

that GigRac comes from Soundcraft, the

name behind the live sound mixing consoles used on

many of the world’s major tours and festivals.

The switchable 7-band

graphic equaliser

section lets you

optimise the tonal

quality of your mix to

suit the acoustics of

the venue.

Just like a professional

mixing console, +48V

phantom power on

channels 1-4 enables

you to use high quality

condenser microphones

with GigRac.

GigRac has eight

high-quality digital

effects

programmes built-

in, ranging from

stunning reverbs to

fat delays.

Professional sound

No experience necessary

GREAT SOUND MADE EASY

The front panel monitoring

section offers an additional

range of output options to the

power amplifier outputs on the

rear of the unit, providing an

almost limitless range of

monitoring options. You can even

record your performance via the

dedicated RCA/phono outputs.

Simply connect a footswitch and it’s

easy to turn GigRac effects On and

Off during the performance. And the

FX bus output gives you the flexibility

to connect an external effects

processor which can then be

plugged back into a spare channel

or into the submix input.

Stereo RCA/phono

inputs make it easy to

plug in a CD, MiniDisc or

MP3 player.

You might want your audience to
hear your voice bathed in digital

reverb, while you hear it ‘dry’ through

your monitors. That’s why GigRac’s

digital effects controls enable you to

turn the effects On or Off, and to

add different amounts of effects to

the Main and Monitor mixes.

Master Main and

Monitor level controls

provide independent

control over the

volume your audience

hears, and the volume

of your own monitor

mix on stage.

Stereo jack inputs

allow connection of

stereo keyboards,

samplers, sound

modules and MIDI file

players, along with

other audio equipment

such as effects

processors.

10-segment precision LED
metering gives you a clear
indication of how hard the

amplifier is working,

allowing you to achieve the

best results.

Amplifier overload

warning LED(s) enable

you to precisely control

the volume of your

performance.

And protection circuitry

means you’ll never have

to worry about distortion.

The Monitor volume

controls can be used to

create an independent

headphone mix.

The amplifier assignment

switch featured on the

GigRac 600 provides an

additional level of flexibility

with the option to power

both the Main and Monitor

mixes with the internal

power amplifiers.

Comprehensive channel controls
include Bass and Treble for tone

shaping, an FX send to control the

amount of signal sent to the digital FX

processor, and separate Main and
Monitor volume controls which allow
you to create independent band and

audience mixes.

GigRac lid with storage space

for microphones and cables.

GREAT SOUND MADE EASY

Some high-output microphones
and other devices can overload a
mixer’s inputs, causing distortion.

With GigRac it’s no problem,
thanks to the Pad switches which
reduce the level of problem input

signals by 20dB.

Combination jack/XLR sockets

make it possible to plug virtually

any type of microphone into

GigRac, along with electric

guitars, basses, electro-acoustic

guitars and other ‘electric’

instruments.

And these inputs are balanced,

just like a studio mixing console,

so noise and interference are

kept to a minimum.

Creating a great live performance sound just got easy.

Available in two models (GigRac 300 and GigRac 600), GigRac combines

a fully-featured 8 channel mixer with studio-quality digital effects and potent

power amplification in a portable package that sets up in minutes.

GigRac is built into a tough, portable, protective case,

and it can also be rack-mounted.
