Soundcraft GB4 Sound Desk
PSP have just taken stock of the Soundcraft GB4 sound desks. With dual-mode topology derived from Soundcraft's acclaimed MH Series, the 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.
