Soundcraft FOUR series BROCHURE

Big spec. Small footprint.

appreciated. Partnered with the SM20

monitor console, the Series FOUR also

provides a flexible audio mixing

solution for live sound venues.

The Series FOUR is available in four
frame sizes providing 24, 32, 40 and 48
mono inputs into 8 group busses, 10

auxiliary busses and stereo and mono
main mix busses. 4 full-function stereo
input channels are also included in
each frame in addition to the mono
modules. The output section includes 8
VCA groups, and a 16x8 matrix section,
which includes feeds from four of the
Aux busses.

Series FOUR is a compact live sound

mixer for front-of-house

applications. Its high feature count

combined with small footprint makes

it ideal for budget-conscious touring

applications, where the familiar

control layout found on its big

brother, the Series FIVE, will be highly

Power and Reliability

Professionals need a console that

works the way they do.

The robust, modular construction of
the Series FOUR allows channel strips
to be removed and replaced quickly
and easily. A motherboard bussing
system is used, giving optimum noise
performance and virtually no cables
to disconnect.

With the Series FOUR in use all around
the world, its power supply needs to be
capable of operating reliably at many
different voltages. The CPS2000 features
a front panel digital display, providing
precise monitoring of incoming voltage,
with a warning indicator when the mains
voltage falls to within 3% of the
dropout point.

• Linear circuitry, using industry standard
components

• Fewer voltage rails for greater
simplicity and reliability

• Load is spread across several power
devices on each rail, for optimum heat
dissipation

• Heavy current wiring is all hard
soldered, minimising number of
connectors

• Built-in diode output linking allows
two supplies to be paralleled for
redundant operation, without a
separate switcher box

• Heavy-duty Socapex® DC connectors
on both the console and power supply

• Thermal sensing fan speed control for
reduced noise and longer life

• Housed in a 4U 19" rack-mountable
case

• Three year warranty

T

he Series FOUR console is shipped

with the ultra high-powered

CPS2000, as used on the Series

FIVE and FIVE Monitor consoles. This

power supply unit features high quality

components and uses fewer voltage

rails for a simpler, more reliable system.

Safety and performance are
demonstrated throughout the CPS2000.
It features built-in diode linking,
enabling two units to be used in parallel
for fail-safe operation without the need
of an external switching box. Heavy-duty
Socapex® DC connectors link the PSU to
the Series FOUR console, with heavy
current wiring used throughout the PSU
for optimum performance.

The CPS2000 features quiet PAPST®
thermostatically controlled fans, forcing
filtered air through the unit. All voltage
rails are protected against short circuits
and excess temperature, with front panel
status LEDs indicating thermal shutdown
and low mains power.
