GB2R

Soundcraft®

The Soundcraft GB2R is a 19" rackmountable mixer designed specifically for smaller installations. Available in two variants, it offers either 16 mono inputs to a stereo mix output, or a 12.2 version with 12 mono inputs, two full-feature stereo inputs, and two group busses, each model having six auxiliary sends. The console inherits both the GB30 mic preamplifier and GB30 equalizer designs from the larger GB4 and GB8. The connector section is contained in a rotatable pod, allowing cable access from the top of the mixer if on a tabletop or from the rear when mounted in a 19" rack. On the stereo inputs of the 12.2 model, connectors are provided for both mic and line inputs. With mic signals routed to the local channel, the line inputs are available as stereo returns to the main mix bus. Two stereo returns and a two-track (CD replay, for example) input are provided, so the GB2R-12.2 model can offer up to 26 inputs. Every input has a pre/post switchable direct output for recording or effects sends, while an internal universal voltage PSU avoids external power supply connections. All input modules are constructed with individual vertically-mounted PCBs fitted to the steel chassis front panel with individually-nutted potentiometers.
