Soundcraft Gigrac 600 Manual
Soundcraft 600
High quality and rack mountable.
I use this in my studio for recording and live practice, and it is perfect for both applications. Soundcraft is my choice for mixers because of the quality they build into their products. The GigRac 600 comes mounted in a durable portable case, but can be removed for rack mounting. It sounds great and the inputs will accept any standard connector. For me, it's perfect.
Best bang for your buck!
I have been playing through the gigrac 600 for a few years with my old band. This this thing sounds great & takes a licking, too. Good clean sound for 600 watts (& plenty of power). When that band split up I bought one for myself. I use it with the Yamaha BR 15's. Talk about crisp, clean sound! Nice lows, even without a sub. If you're in the market for a quality easy to use (& transport) pa system, start with this.
Well pleased
I am blown away with the quality of the Gigrac.
I am a street performer in London UK and even my fellow performers are commenting on the differance in Sound quality , the built in effects are also great .
I use to use a Phonic powerpod 620 and that one compared to the Soundcraft sounds really tinney and thin sounding. The Gigrac two band EQ are amazingly musical , I tend to put lots of treble on my vocals but it does'nt at all sound harsh but warm and sweet.A great small format P.A. head
This is a great little P.A. Amplifier.
I bought one of these a few years ago.After using it for 2 months I was visited by a Large Hurricane.It was in my storm damaged Van and was wet for a few weeks while I tended to my House. It was a little rusty around the edges but still worked fine.I decided to get another clean one and at that time the GiGRac 1000 had been released.So,I thought,more power and a few extras for not much more $$. However ,I had 3 of the 1000 watt models break down within weeks. The Company returned my money and said try something else. What I came to find out was they had changed the Toroidal Power Supply with a Switching Power Supply (That's how the got a 1000 watts out of it.) The Switching Power Supply is very sensitive and needed to be a higher Quality to work well. This is the reason for negative comments on the 1000 watt Gigrac. The Gigrac 600 (with the Toroidal power supply) is a stable and road worthy piece. It's limited power, 2 bands of EQ, decent but average quality effects make it suitable for small gigs but it is rackmountable which is a prerequisite of mine. So, I now have bought a second GigRac 600 and all is well. Thanks Sweetwater.GIGRAC 600
This unit has parts that cause failure in the power supply. 2 resistors that are called out as 1 watt rated are actually 1/4 watt, as factory installed. This is a failure point. R10 and R11.
Let me down twice!!
Bought this new from Sweetwater (GigRac 600). I liked the features, design and sound, but had only used it a handful of times when it just stopped working at a gig (just wouldn't come on...no user error involved, just flat wouldn't power up). Luckily it was an outdoor folkie gig, and we managed to squeak by acoustically. The warrantee had just expired, but I liked it, so I took it to an authorized repair person who kept it for several weeks, then said that Soundcraft was discontinuing the model and they couldn't get the part needed to fix it. What went bad was some microprocessor chip that controls the fan speed/thermal protection, and wasn't allowing it to power up. I ended up having to write a letter to Soundcraft Corporate HQ, and shaming them into allowing me to send it back to the factory to get fixed. They ended up replacing the entire audio printed circuit board. Anyway, I got several more years of light use out of it (we don't play very often) and the same thing happened again, this time at a NYE gig!! No more Soundcraft for me. It sounded nice while working, but they designed it with an unreliable, difficult to replace microprocessor in the front end that craps out for no reason and makes the entire mixer go dead.
Overrated
Didn't care for the effects, didn't care for the sound. came as a neat package with front and back covers. Was not impressed with the output. Sorry, but there are a lot of other products available that do the job better.
