{"product_id":"soundcraft-rw5697sm","title":"Soundcraft RW5697SM","description":"\u003cp\u003eAugmenting the already highly successful GB4 console range is the new GB8 8-bus console. The GB4 has found many friends including the Cavern Club in Liverpool and in use at the Bedford venue in South London.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in frame sizes from 24 to 48 channels each with four full-function stereo channels and four stereo returns the GB8 is designed for installations such as churches and performance venues or for small touring sound systems. The dual-mode topology implemented to such success on the MH3 and MH4 desks allows the GB8 to be used on FOH or monitor duties with fader control of group or aux outputs. Additional features over the GB4 include a 1kHz oscillator and a meter bridge with three led meters that very closely emulate the ballistics of VU meters.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFour mute groups allow several channels to be muted simultaneously while another unique facility is the limiter on both the Record and Alternate stereo outputs that makes it easier to create a stereo recording of the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe console also features an output matrix with eleven feeds to four outputs being fed from the group busses and main L R and C (mono) outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough largely conventional in layout the GB8 does have some unique mechanical features. The rugged steel chassis has a sloping rear connector panel so that it is easier to configure from the front of the desk while the integral power supply has a link option for an external back-up PSU.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the GB4 and GB8 desks carry 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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe GB Series also shares the stylish looks of the MH4 MH3 and LX7ii consoles continuing a strong family look and feel across the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"productSpecification section col1\"\u003e \u003ch2 class=\"tabSectionHeader\"\u003e Soundcraft GB8 Specifications \u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cdl\u003e \u003cdt\u003eAnalogue\/Digital\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003eAnalogue\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eFrame Sizes\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e40\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eStereo Channels\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e4\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eDigital I\/O\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003eNo\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eFX Processors\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e0\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eFixed Send (Group) Buses\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e8\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eEQ Bands\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e4\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eVariable Send (Aux) Buses\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e8\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eReturns\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e5\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eDirect Outputs\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003eYes\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eMatrix Buses\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e4\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eNoise\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003eMeasured RMS, 22Hz to 22kHz Bandwidth\u003cbr\u003e Mic E.I.N. at unity gain,150W source impedance: -128dBu\u003cbr\u003eMix Output, 40 inputs routed to mix: \u0026lt;-82dBu\u003cbr\u003eGroup Outputs: \u0026lt;-83dBu\u003cbr\u003eAux Outputs: \u0026lt;-80dBu\u003cbr\u003eMatrix Outputs: \u0026lt;-89dBu\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eCrosstalk ( at 1kHz, typical)\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003eInput Channel Mute: \u0026lt;-97dB\u003cbr\u003eInput Fader cut-off: \u0026lt;-95dB\u003cbr\u003ePan isolation: \u0026lt;-77dB\u003cbr\u003eMix route isolation: \u0026lt;-97dB\u003cbr\u003eGroup route isolation: \u0026lt;-97dB\u003cbr\u003eAdjacent channel crosstalk: \u0026lt;-99dB\u003cbr\u003eGroup to Mix: \u0026lt;-89dB\u003cbr\u003eAux Send pots offness (typical): \u0026lt;-84dB\u003cbr\u003eMatrix Send pots offness (typical): \u0026lt;-84dB\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003eMic\/Line Input to any output, 20Hz - 20kHz: \u0026lt;1dB\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eTHD + N\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003eMic sens. -30dBu, +20dBu at all outputs at 1kHz: \u0026lt;0.006%\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eCMRR\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003eTypical at 1kHz: 80dB\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eInput \u0026amp; Output Max Levels\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003eMono \u0026amp; Stereo Mic Inputs: +15dBu\u003cbr\u003eMono \u0026amp; Stereo Line Inputs: +30dBu\u003cbr\u003eStereo Returns \u0026amp; Insert Returns: +20dBu\u003cbr\u003eAny output: +20dBu\u003cbr\u003eNominal Operating Level: 0dBu\u003cbr\u003eHeadphone Power: 2x250mW into 200Ohm\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eInput \u0026amp; Output Impedances\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003eMic Inputs: 2kOhm\u003cbr\u003eLine Inputs and Stereo Returns: 10kOhm\u003cbr\u003eMix, Group, Aux, Matrix \u0026amp; Direct outputs: 150Ohm\u003cbr\u003eInsert Sends: 75Ohm\u003cbr\u003eInsert Returns: 5kOhm\u003cbr\u003eRecommended Headphone Impedance: 50 - 600Ohm\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eDimensions (H x W x D)\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e6.26 x 65.59 x 25.83\" \/ 15.9 x 166.59 x 65.60cm\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eWeight\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003e40.0kg (88.2lbs)\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eMfr #\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003eRW5697SM\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003cdt\u003eSKU\u003c\/dt\u003e \u003cdd\u003eSCGB840\u003c\/dd\u003e \u003c\/dl\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Soundcraft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43895205986347,"sku":"SC-RW5697SM","price":5347.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/3019\/5243\/files\/sc-rw5697sm-2__63506.1682443657.1280.1280.jpg?v=1775684200","url":"https:\/\/www.empirepro.com\/products\/soundcraft-rw5697sm","provider":"Empire Pro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
