GB2

Available in 16, 24 and 32 channel configurations, the GB2 is designed for
installed sound and A/V applications that don’t require all the sophisticated
functionality of the GB4 and GB8. However the GB2 is a genuine GB Series console in
every respect, with sound quality assured by GB30 Mic Pre and Equaliser designs, and
reliability by the same rugged build quality that has made the GB4 and GB8 so
dependable in demanding professional applications.

Along with six Aux busses and an integral 6 x 2 matrix, four subgroups are provided as
two stereo pairs, with a unique facility for adjusting the width of the stereo signal
across the stereo mix. The channel pan settings are retained on the group outputs,
while the degree of stereo separation to the mix bus is independently adjustable from full
stereo through to mono. The GB2 also features two stereo input channels, with separate mic
and line inputs. In normal use, the mic inputs are routed to the local channel and the
line inputs act as a stereo return to the mix bus. Selecting the line input to the local
channel overrides the mic inputs.

GB2 FEATURES:
• 16, 24, 32 channel frame sizes
• 12 busses
• 2 full feature stereo channels
• 2 stereo returns (on stereo channels)
• 6 Aux sends
• 4 sub groups (paired)
• 6x2 output matrix
• GB30 mic preamp and precision equalisation
circuitry
• Direct outputs on every channel
• Talkback facility
• 100mm faders
• Switchable 48V phantom powering on every channel
• 100Hz high pass filter
• 12-segment LED metering
• Record output

Line inputs on the stereo channels can also
act as a stereo return.

GB4

With dual-mode topology derived from Soundcraft’s acclaimed MH Series, the GB8
and GB4 consoles provide ideal live sound mixing solutions for medium-sized venues
including clubs, theatres and houses of worship.With a single button press on the
GB4 (4-bus), any of the first four Aux master controls can be swapped with the
respectively numbered Group fader, providing the flexibility to work at FOH, Monitors, or
perform both duties simultaneously.
The GB4 has L/C/R and eight Aux busses in addition to its four groups and, like the GB8,
there are four mute groups and an output matrix for creating zoned mixes.
Like all GB series mixers, the GB4 uses GB30 mic preamps which use local
linearisation techniques rather than global feedback to deliver an extremely open
frequency response and excellent phase linearity. The GB30 EQ borrows the innovative
designs developed for the Soundcraft MH4 console, providing GB users with the benefits
of genuine high-end equalisation. And thanks to a meticulous ‘ground-up’ approach to
circuit and mechanical design, the GB Series exhibits class-leading noise performance and
channel isolation figures. When it comes to recording a performance,
the GB4 & GB8 are similarly well equipped with pre-/post-fader switchable direct
outputs on every channel and a high-quality limiter on dedicated record outputs fed from
the L-R mix bus.

GB4 FEATURES:
• 12, 16, 24, 32 and 40 channel frame sizes
• 15 busses
• 2 full feature stereo channels
• 2 stereo returns
• 8 Aux sends (4 are pre/post switchable)
• 4 sub groups (SWAP with Auxes 1-4)
• 7x4 output matrix
• Record output with limiter
• GB30 mic preamp and precision equalisation
circuitry
• Direct outputs on every channel
• Talkback facility
• 100mm faders
• Switchable 48V phantom powering on every channel
• 18dB/octave high pass filter
• 4 mute groups
• 12-segment LED metering

Dedicated record outputs with a high-quality
limiter are fed from the L-R mix bus.

GB8

Drawing on 30 years of Soundcraft experience, GB Series consoles set new
standards in professional live sound mixing on a budget. The GB8 (8-bus) console is
packed with the features you need to create a memorable FOH and monitor mix,
combining totally re-engineered circuit topology with our ground-breaking GB30 mic
preamp and EQ designs to deliver a sonic performance rivalling many high-price, highend
consoles.
The GB8 has plenty of bus power for sophisticated mixing applications. All eight
Aux master controls can be swapped with eight Groups, and all Auxes
are pre/post switchable globally per Aux bus from the Master
Section. In addition to the eight Groups, the GB8 has L/C/R and
eight Aux busses. Four mute groups provide quick and easy muting
of groups of channels, ideal for scene changes or where groups of instruments
need to be silenced. And the output matrix is essential when different zones in a venue
require specifically tailored mixes, enabling the operator to create
sub-mixes of the Group, L-R mix and C (mono) busses.
Unlike other mixers in their class, GB Series consoles
are built to last with a rigid steel chassis, high quality
vertically mounted fibreglass PCB channel strips and individually nutted
potentiometers ensuring reliability in both fixed installations and on the road.
And because Soundcraft understands the way that live sound
engineers work, you’ll find an intuitive control surface and a
conveniently angled rear connector panel, so you can do
all your patching without ever leaving the mix position.

• 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 channel frame sizes
