Functions 1. Mic Electronically balanced XLR-type inputs for connecting low- impedance 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.

7. Low cut If you push the “low cut” button, a filter will be inserted into the audio chain of the GIG-12 that has a characteristic 80Hz, 18dB/oct high pass characteristic to cut any undesired low frequencies. This function can be used to cut the humming sound or to prevent resonances of low frequencies, when the speakers are placed in close distance.

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.
Compensation of interference with balanced connections Maintenance DAP Audio GIG-12 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.
