The Soundcraft GB4-32 is 32-channel, 4-bus console designed and constructed to ensure rugged reliability under stressful tour conditions. All input modules have individual vertically-mounted PCB's fitted to the steel chassis.
It is designed for performance venue installation or small touring system applications. The Soundcraft GB4-32 dual-mode topology allows it to be used for FOH or monitor duties, with fader control of group or aux outputs.
Although largely conventional in layout, the Soundcraft GB4-32 does have some unique mechanical features. The rugged steel chassis has a sloping rear connector panel so that it is easier to configure from in front of the desk, while the integral power supply has a link option for an external backup PSU.
The Soundcraft GB4-32 has 4 mute groups that allows several channels to be muted simultaneously. Another unique feature for the Soundcraft GB4-32 is the limiter on a set of dedicated record outputs that makes it easier to create a stereo recording of the mix.
