GB SERIES JOINS
NEW-LOOK PROFESSIONAL RANGE
The latest in what seems a never-ending stream of new products
from Soundcraft this year is the GB4 console, which carries the
GB30 Mic preamps and EQ, designed by Graham Blyth for the company's
30th anniversary last year.
The new desks are of the caliber we’ve all come to expect
from Soundcraft, including the company’s signature high-end
design and engineering. Meticulous attention to detail has gone
into mechanical construction to ensure reliability under the toughest
conditions. All input models are constructed with individual vertically
mounted PCBs, fitted to the steel-chassis front panel with individually
nutted potentiometers.
The GB Series also shares the stylish looks of the MH4, MH3 and
LX7ii consoles, lending the entire range a strong family feel
and flavor.
Available in frame sizes from 12 to 40 channels, the Soundcraft GB 4 is
designed for installations such as churches and performance venues,
or for small touring sound systems. The dual-mode topology implemented
to such success on the MH3 and MH4 desks allows the GB4 to be
used on FOH or monitor duties, with fader control of group or
aux outputs.
Although largely conventional in layout, the GB4 does have some
unique mechanical features. The rugged steel chassis has a sloping
rear connector panel so that it is easier to configure from the
front of the desk, while the integral power supply has a link
option for an external back-up PSU.
Four mute groups allow several channels to be muted simultaneously,
while another unique facility is the limiter on a set of dedicated
record outputs that makes it easier to create a stereo recording
of the mix.
The console also features an output matrix with seven feeds
to four outputs, being fed from the group buses and main L,
R and C (mono) outputs.
The GB4 offers the full gamut of features and functionalities
in a small, cost-efficient footprint, delivering the high performance
and dependability Soundcraft is known for.
