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 linearization 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 equalization. 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 and 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.
