DISC Soundcraft GB4-16 16-Channel Mixer

Full Description

Dual-Mode Topology

The GB4-16 can be used on both Front of House and monitor duties, thanks to its dual-mode topology with fader control of group or aux outputs. There are four mute groups to allow several channels to be muted simultaneously, and the limiter on a set of dedicated record outputs makes it easier to create a stereo recording of the mix. The output matrix has seven feeds to four outputs, being fed from the group buses and the main L, R and C mono outputs. The GB4-16 also features an integrated LED and VU meter bridge to provide a functional level of visual feedback for accurate monitoring of input and output levels, allowing you to stay in control of your audio.

GB30 Microphone Preamps

The Soundcraft GB4 series features custom GB30 microphone preamps and EQ, delivering exceptional audio quality throughout. The GB30 microphone preamps are specially designed by Graham Blyth, delivering a warm yet articulate tone that captures every nuance of the original source material. Reminiscent of vintage microphone preamps, the GB30 preamplifier circuit is airy yet deep within its sound palette, creating exceptional harmonics and overtones. The ultra low-noise floor and high output gain ensures optimal clarity and punch, cutting through even the busiest of mixes.

Durable Build Quality

The GB4 console is ruggedly built, designed to be reliable under the most strenuous conditions, with all input modules constructed with individual vertically-mounted PCBs fitted to the steel chassis front panel with individually-nutted potentiometers. The rear connector panel slopes so it is easier to configure from the front of the desk, and the integral power supply has a link option for an external backup PSU.
