Functions 1. Mic input Electronically balanced XLR-type inputs for connecting lowimpedance microphones. The input provides extremely low noise and low hum signal processing. When connecting a microphone make sure that the pin assignment is correct. Always make sure to read the manual of the microphone you want to connect. The XLR-inputs are not suitable for connecting line level signals like an additional mixing console, FX-unit, etc. You have to use the LINE-inputs, when connecting this kind of equipment.
8. Gain control Input level is determined by the Gain control. With the Gain control you can adjust the MIC or LINE input-sensitivity, while optimally matching the incoming signals to the mixer’s internal operation level. The high gain of this mixer is ideal when dealing with very low input levels (i.e. vocal recordings or distant sound sources). How to set the Input level: 1) Set the gain control and the corresponding channel fader to their minimum setting.
19. Pan/Panorama control Mono Channels: By using the panorama control you can change the input signal’s position within the stereo image. When the panorama control is set to center position, the audio signal is equal for both the left and right output. Stereo channels: By using the balance control you can adjust the balance between the left and the right channel.
25. Stereo return 1 to aux 1 bus level control The signal of the Stereo 1 return inputs (68) is summed to a mono aux signal and is routed to the aux 1 bus. You can adjust the level of the Stereo 1 return inputs (68) to the (mono) aux 1 bus with this control. 26. Stereo return 1 to aux 2 bus level control The signal of the Stereo 1 return inputs (69) is summed to a mono aux signal and is routed to the aux 2 bus.
37) Aux 3 send level fader Allows you to adjust the level of the Aux 3 (71) output. 38) Aux 3 AFL button Allows you Allows you to route the aux 3 output (post level control) to the control. room bus 39) Aux 4 send level fader Allows you to adjust the level of the Aux 4 (72) output. 40) Aux 4 AFL button Allows you to route the aux 4 output (post level control) to the control room bus. 41) LPF button Allows you to activate the low pass filter.
50. Ctrl Room/Phones level control This control allows you to adjust the volume of the Control Room (82, 83) outputs and the Headphones (70) outputs. Depending on the type of headphones connected to the phones jack, the Powermix is capable of producing very high output levels via the phones output. Therefore, make sure to turn the control all the way down (minimum setting) before connecting the headphones.
64. Aux 1 Send balanced output Use this output to connect the input of an effect processor or use it as a separate mono output ie. To connect a monitor speaker. 65. Aux 2 Send balanced output Use this output to connect the input of an effect processor or use it as a separate mono output ie. To connect a monitor speaker. 66. Aux 1 Send unbalanced output Use this output to connect the input of an effect processor or use it as a separate mono output ie. To connect a monitor speaker. 67.
73. IEC power inlet This connector is meant for the connection of the supplied main cord. Connect one end of the power cord to the connector, the other end to the mains, and then turn on the power (74) switch to operate the unit. 74. Power On/Off Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly. 75. 12V Lamp connector For connection of an optional snakelight i.e. DAP 60722, 60723, 60706 or 60711. 76. Stereo (main) right output Balanced male XLR. 77.
Set Up and Operation Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa. 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.
Compensation of interference with balanced connections Maintenance The DAP Audio GIG-24 requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Do not use alcohol or solvents. Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the connectors with a damp cloth. Make sure connectors are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.
