Soundcraft RW5695SM GB8 – 24 Mono, 4 Stereo Live Sound / Recording Console

The Soundcraft GB8 24-Channel Audio Mixer is part of the professional GB series, designed to meet the needs of front-of-house (FOH) and monitor mixing in both small and large venues. With its comprehensive set of features, including 24 mono inputs, 4 stereo inputs, and 8 group outputs, the GB8 ensures the high audio fidelity and routing flexibility required for live sound and recording applications.

This model is equipped with 24 inputs, which offer both microphone and line-level connections, along with 4 stereo inputs for added versatility. The stereo inputs (ST1 – ST4) provide both L/R stereo line level and 3-pin XLR microphone inputs, allowing for efficient stereo microphone placement to capture vocals, instruments, and ambient sounds.

The GB8 series integrates Soundcraft’s acclaimed GB30 microphone preamp and EQ, ensuring a clean, low-noise sound with high output gain that rivals more expensive models. It also features 8 group outputs for routing to monitors, external recorders, or other devices, making it perfect for both live performance and studio environments.

A key feature of the GB8 is its matrix mixer, which offers additional routing flexibility, enabling engineers to create multiple mixes from the same console. Additionally, the console includes a built-in LED and VU meter bridge to ensure accurate metering of both input and output levels for precise monitoring.

Designed for ease of use and reliability, the GB8 is built to withstand the rigors of live sound environments, with direct outputs on all mono inputs for simple routing to external equipment like recorders and mixers. Whether for large venues, concerts, or recording studios, the GB8 delivers the exceptional sound quality and functionality that professional sound engineers demand.
