GRAHAM BLYTH

In the year of our 30th anniversary, Soundcraft

co-founder and Technical Director Graham Blyth has

taken a well established and classic Soundcraft

microphone preamplifier to a new level of performance,

resulting in the new GB30 preamp which boasts

extraordinary clarity with exceptionally controlled

overload characteristics.

Soundcraft’s legendary 4-band EQ has also been

improved further with the addition of elements derived

from Soundcraft’s highly successful MH Series consoles.

This new design delivers the sound of the classic ‘British

EQ’ enhanced even further with more focused HF and LF

shelving sections.

Note:These figures are typical of performance in a normal electromagnetic environment and are often exceeded. Performance may be
degraded in severe conditions.All measurements refer to electronically balanced inputs and outputs.

4-BUS & 8-BUS

PROFESSIONAL

MIXING CONSOLES

THE FULLY PROFESSIONAL LIVE SOUND CONSOLE
YOU THOUGHT YOU COULDN’T AFFORD

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, high-

end 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.

GB8 FEATURES:

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

• 19 busses

• 4 full feature stereo channels

• 4 stereo returns

• 8 Aux sends (all are pre/post

switchable)

• 8 sub groups (SWAP with all 8 Auxes)

• 11x4 output matrix

• Record output with limiter

• Alternate stereo output with limiter

• 1kHz oscillator

• Meterpod with 3 high definition LED VU

meters (L/C/R)

• Internal jumpers switch pre-fade Aux sends

to pre-EQ

• 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

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.

DUAL-MODE TOPOLOGY,
STRAIGHT FROM THE SOUNDCRAFT MH SERIES

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

Line inputs on the stereo channels can also

act as a stereo return.

SMALLER SCALE MIXING,
WITHOUT THE COMPROMISES

MONO INPUT MODULE

Mic Input

A balanced XLR connector accepts balanced or unbalanced mic
signals.

Line Input

A balanced 1/4" jack accepts balanced or unbalanced line level
sources, such as keyboards.

+48V Phantom Power

Phantom power is individually switchable on every channel, with front
panel LED indication of status.

Phase Reverse

Phase reverse is individually switchable on every channel.

Input Stage

Precision, low noise mic preamps deliver continuously variable gain
between 5dB and 60dB.A Peak LED indicates internal signal levels in
excess of +18dBu.

High Pass Filter

A steep 18dB per Octave High Pass Filter is included straight after the
preamp to reduce low frequency rumble on stage and clean up vocal
performances.

Insert

A pre-fade, pre-EQ (but post-HPF) insert point is provided for patching
in Limiters, Graphic Equalisers or other signal processors. It may also
be used for recording.

Direct Output

A direct output is also available on every mono channel with individual
pre/post fader switching situated on the rear panel. This allows the
direct outputs to be equally useful for effects send applications or
multitrack tape feeds.

EQ Section

GB Series consoles incorporate the GB30 4-band equaliser section ­based on that used in the high-end MH Series. Both the HF and LF
shelving sections have steeper slopes than usual which substantially
reduces mid frequency harshness in the HF band and muddiness in the
LF.This increase in “cleanliness” of response is further enhanced by an
element of undershoot and overshoot in the boost/cut response. It has
two swept mid frequencies carefully selected for optimum control
during live performances. All bands provide 15dB of cut or boost. The
Low frequency equaliser response shelves at 80Hz. The swept Lo Mid
control operates between 80Hz and 1.9kHz. The swept Hi Mid control
operates at frequencies between 550Hz and 13kHz. The fixed High
frequency equaliser response shelves at 13kHz.

EQ Switch

The EQ section can be bypassed using the EQ switch, allowing comparison
of treated and untreated sounds without having to reset controls.

Auxiliary Sends

The GB4 has 8 flexible Auxiliary sends which allow the choice of either
monitor or effects orientated mixes. Auxes 1-4 are pre-fader and, in
normal operation, are routed to the rotary Aux masters 1-4. In SWAP
mode, they are routed to Group faders 1-4 and Group meters 1-4, ideal
for monitor mixing applications. Auxes 5 to 8 are pre/post switchable ­globally assigned selectable per Aux bus from the Master Section.

The GB8’s 8 Auxiliary sends (Fig. 1) are globally selectable per Aux bus
between pre/post fade. The Auxes are routed to rotary Aux masters,
which all feature SWAP mode.

The GB2’s 6 Auxiliary sends (Fig. 3) are pre fade (1 & 2), pre/post
selectable (3 & 4) and post fade (5 & 6).

Level Control and Routing

On the GB4, the signal on each fader can be routed to the L-R mix (via
the Pan control), the C (mono) bus and Groups 1&2 and 3&4. On the
GB8, the signal can additionally be routed to Groups 5&6 and 7&8
(Fig. 2). On the GB2, the signal can be routed to the L-R mix, and
Groups 1&2 and 3&4 (Fig. 4).

Pan

Turning the pan control full left or right enables odd or even groups or
the left or right Mix bus to be accessed individually.

Solo/PFL

Each channel can be soloed pre-fader, post-EQ to check levels. PFL
status is indicated via a front panel LED.

100mm Fader

Professional grade, 100mm faders provide accurate, consistent control
of audio levels and have superb cut-off performance.

Metering

A 4-segment LED display on each GB4/8 fader strip provides an
instant reference for the signal level on that channel. The GB2 features
peak and signal leds.

STEREO INPUT MODULE

The stereo inputs (2 on the GB2/4, 4 on the GB8) allow connection of
stereo sources, or use as sophisticated effects returns. GB8 has four
stereo inputs. The stereo input channels share all features with the
mono input channels, with the exception of the following:

Connections

Each channel is equipped with both balanced jack and XLR pairs. The
left or right input can be selected, if required, as a single, mono source
to be routed to both paths. Alternatively both the left and right signals
can be mono-summed.

EQ Section

The equaliser section provides 15dB of cut or boost at each of 4­bands: a HF shelf at 13kHz; Hi-Mid at 2.5kHz; Lo-Mid at 450Hz; and a
LF shelf at 80Hz.

GB2 Stereo Return

The stereo inputs on the GB2 can be switched for mic + stereo return,
or line.

GROUP SECTION

Group Outputs

Each Group has an impedance-balanced XLR output
connector, allowing long cable runs on stage.

Insert Points

Pre-fade insert points are provided on jack
connectors, for the connection of Limiters, Graphic
Equalisers or other signal processors.

or greater. Both the control room and 2-track
return levels can be altered using the associated
controls. It is also possible to replace the Mix
output signal with the 2-track return by pressing “2
TRK TO MIX”.This allows easy playing of pre-show
music at a single button press, without having to
make any alterations to the band’s settings.

Metering

Three 12-segment Peak reading bargraph meters
display L-R mix and C (mono) bus output levels
when the appropriate control room selection is
made. If any input or Auxiliary master is soloed
then the PFL/AFL LED illuminates, and the master
meters show PFL/AFL levels instead.

Matrix Assignment

Any of the four Group masters, Left, Right and C
(mono) buses can be routed to any of the four
matrix outputs via individual rotary controls.

100mm Master Faders
