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.

16 mono inputs to a stereo mix output. Rackmount version of the GB2.

The highly-acclaimed and successful Soundcraft GB Series has gained another new member, the Soundcraft GB2R. This 19 inch 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.

Features
19 inch Rackmountable console

16 channel version, with 16 mono inputs, Stereo Mix and Mono Sum Outputs and 6 Aux Outputs. - Total Inputs to Mix: 22

12.2 channel version, with 12 mono inputs and 2 stereo inputs, 1 Stereo Sub Group Output, Mix and Mono Sum Outputs, and 6 Aux Outputs - Total Inputs to Mix: 26 (when Mics used on stereo input)

Rotatable connector pod for top or rear cable entry

8 (GB2R-16) or 10 (GB2R-12.2) busses

2 full feature stereo inputs (GB2R-12.2 version)

GB30 Mic preamp and precision EQ on inputs

Switchable +48V phantom power on every mic input

100Hz Hi-pass filter

Stereo Mix Output and separate Mono Sum output

Record output

Internal Universal switched mode PSU

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 inch 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 you'd 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 pcb's, fitted to the steel chassis front panel with individually-nutted potentiometers.
