Plus, with extensive control support via footswitches, expression pedals, and the GA-FC or GA-FC EX, you can operate your rig hands-free as you perform. But that's not all - the Gigcaster 8 also features four XLR/TRS combo inputs for additional gear and playing along with other musicians. The low-noise preamps, wide dynamic range, and phantom power support deliver broadcast-quality XLR mic sounds, while the 1/4-inch jacks allow for any electronic musical instrument. And with dedicated vocal effects from the popular VE series, you can sing with effects like compression, pitch correction, delay, and reverb, and even dial up harmonies that automatically follow a set key.

The Gigcaster 8 puts a deep array of powerful mixing and audio routing features at your fingertips, with each mixer channel including various sound-shaping options for pro mixing on the fly.

You can play music from a mobile device via Bluetooth or a wired connection and use the ducking function to automatically reduce the volume as you speak over it. And with eight sound pads available for triggering theme songs, sound effects, sample loops, and backing tracks, configured in eight pad banks for a total of 64 on-demand sounds, the possibilities for fan engagement are endless. With its color touch display and intuitive panel controls, you can easily configure and operate the Gigcaster 8 using nothing but the hardware.
