Soundcraft Gigrac 600 Powered Mixer Questions & Answers
Why does my gigrac power down after a few seconds?
Your unit is telling you that there is something wrong. This can be in two places, your power supply is shutting down (thermal) because of a component fault, and or your Amp(s) are overheating due to also a component fault. My guess, for what it's worth, is one of the amps has a bad final so I would disconnect the power supply from the amps and see if the unit keeps running. If it does than re-connect one amp at the time and see what happens. This should get you a fair way in to finding the fault. Have fun.

Check the fuse. If it has blown, do NOT replace it without taking for service first. Additional damage often occurs when users replace fuses that have blown due to internal failures in equipment.
Also check that the power cord is fully seated... sometimes they don't quite make it...

There is a bad amp in that divice that is causing an overload. The device then shuts down. This is not something that you can fix yourself. IT requires special diagnostic tools and troubleshooting as well as soldering ability.

The resistor is acting as a fuse and will continue to blow until you fix the REAL problem. LIKELY the filter capacitor(s) beyond the bridge rectifier are failing. One needs to use test equipment to measure the current through the resistor and see if it is reasonable. The capacitors can heal briefly and then start to short. One should also check the rectifier in operation with an oscilloscope as one diode could intermittently short.

How do I connect a laptop to record from a Soundcraft FX16ii mixer please?
Unfortunately there is no audio input on most laptops so you need another solution. You can use a simpler RCA to USB input like a Behringer U-Control USB Audio Interface (UCA222) but this will require you to make of buy a couple of 1/4" to RCA cables, watch the level though.
If you are looking for something more pro then I would suggest something like a BehringerU-PHORIA UMC204HD which has XLR inputs and is better suited for your mixer.
There are other companies that make audio to USB interfaces, M-Audio, Focusrite etc, but they are not cheap
