General
Most people who want to amplify a band or theatre group are probably familiar with the difficulties of finding the right mixer. You have to take many things in consideration, especially the quality of the mixer. Most people only look at the number of channels, and want to spend as little money as possible. As a result, you often end up missing important functions and having to make do with sub-par quality. Soundcraft has been making high-quality mixers for the last 30 years, which is why you can count on their GB4 mixer to delivery high quality and to stand the test of time.
The mixer features sixteen mono channels and two stereo channels. As such, you can easily amplify a choir with a backing track or play a CD when the band's not playing. The mixer is fitted with four subgroups, giving you the option to connect a long line of floor monitors. Thanks to the VU meter in the upper right portion of the mixer, you can check whether the outgoing signals are at a normal dB level. Below the VU meter, you'll find routing controls that allow you to determine which signal goes to which output. This is a highly complete mixer that won't only surprise you, but will surprise your audience as well.
