LD Systems VIBZ 8 DC – 8 channel Mixing Console with DFX and Compressor

Four balanced microphone inputs with high quality preamplifiers, mono compatible stereo channels, an integrated compressor and 100 digital effects with 24-bit resolution turn the VIBZ 8 DC into a flexible sound control unit.

The microphone channels are switchable to line level and are equipped with high quality preamplifiers and a reduction in bass; two of them also feature inserts for individual signal processing. For an effective sound adjustment, the VIBZ 8 DC has very precise 3-band EQs with practical selectable mids.

The master section of the mixer has an effects loop, adjustable monitor outputs and a headphone jack. The VIBZ 8 DC also has inputs and outputs for recording and playback devices, is extremely easy to use and impresses with its transparent and detailed sound. It is ideal for small bands, installations, home recording, and for use as a sub-mixer.

It comes with an external power supply that can be tightly secured to the mixer. A foot switch for the effects section and an adapter for mounting the VIBZ 8 DC on microphone stands are available as accessories.

The Soundcraft GB-2 (2-bus) 24 Channel Console is designed for installed sound and A/V applications that donʼt require all the sophisticated functionality of the GB4 and GB8.

However the Soundcraft GB-2 24 Channel Console is a genuine GB Series console in every respect, with sound quality assured by GB30 Mic Pre and Equaliser designs, and reliability by the same rugged build quality that has made the GB4 and GB8 so dependable in demanding professional applications.

Along with six Aux busses and an integral 6 x 2 matrix, four subgroups are provided as two stereo pairs, with a unique facility for adjusting the width of the stereo signal across the stereo mix. The channel pan settings are retained on the group outputs, while the degree of stereo separation to the mix bus is independently adjustable from full stereo through to mono.

The GB2 also features two stereo input channels, with separate mic and line inputs. In normal use, the mic inputs are routed to the local channel and the line inputs act as a stereo return to the mix bus. Selecting the line input to the local channel overrides the mic inputs.

The Soundcraft GB-2 (2-bus) 24 Channel Console Main Features Include:

• 24 channel frame size
• 12 busses
• 2 full feature stereo channels
• 2 stereo returns (on stereo channels)
• 6 Aux sends
• 4 sub groups (paired)
• 6x2 output matrix
• GB30 mic preamp and precision equalisation circuitry
• Direct outputs on every channel
• Talkback facility
• 100mm faders
• Switchable 48V phantom powering on every channel
• 100Hz high pass filter
• 12-segment LED metering
• Record output
• Width: 1013mm (39.88“)
• Weight: 25kg (55.1lbs)

• 12+2 channel frame sizes
• Built-in 24 bit Lexicon digital effects processor
• 32 FX settings
• Tap Tempo and FX setting store function
• 1 FX send on each channel
• 1 configurable auxiliary bus
• XLR-type and Ό� metal jack connector sockets
• RCA phono stereo playback inputs and record outputs
• 3-band EQ with a swept mid on mono inputs
• 3-band EQ on stereo inputs
• TRS insert sockets and inserts on all mono inputs
• Ten-segment LED output metering
• Intuitive and comprehensive solo system
• Headphone output
• Easily rack mountable

The highly-acclaimed and successful Soundcraft GB Series has gained another new member, the Soundcraft GB2R.

This 19” rack-mountable mixer is designed specifically for smaller installations in churches and performance venues, or for small portable PA systems. It will also find friends in Broadcast where its high quality and feature set will be very appealing.

Available in two variants, the GB2R 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 2 group busses, each model having 6 auxiliary sends.

As always with Soundcraft consoles, emphasis has been placed on operational simplicity, clear and intuitive layout and the highest possible audio performance. The Soundcraft GB2R inherits both the GB30 Mic preamplifier and GB30 Equaliser designs from the GB4 and GB8.

For ease of installation, the connector section is contained in a rotatable pod, allowing cable access from the top of the mixer if sat on a table-top, or from the rear when mounted in a 19” rack.

On the stereo inputs on 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 2-track (for example CD replay) input are provided, which means that the GB2R-12.2 model can offer up to 26 inputs to mix in a mixer just 19” (485mm) wide.

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.

The whole GB Series carries the high quality hallmark with which Soundcraft is synonymous, with engineering and design as youʼd expect from this high-end manufacturer. Careful attention has been given to the mechanical construction, to ensure reliability and ruggedness under strenuous conditions, with all input modules being constructed with individual vertically-mounted pcbʼs, fitted to the steel chassis front panel with individually-nutted potentiometers.
