Soundcraft GB2 Live Sound Analog Mixer

Soundcraft GB2 16-channel live sound and recording console

The Soundcraft GB2 is a professional analog live sound and recording console designed to provide exceptional audio quality and flexible signal routing for front-of-house (FOH), monitor mixing, and recording applications. Available in multiple frame sizes, this 16-channel configuration is well suited for small to medium-sized venues, live performances, houses of worship, educational facilities, and commercial AV installations requiring dependable analog mixing capabilities.

The console provides 16 mono input channels with dedicated microphone and line-level connections, along with two stereo input channels supporting both stereo line inputs and balanced XLR microphone inputs. This configuration allows users to connect a wide variety of microphones, instruments, playback devices, and stereo sources while maintaining efficient workflow during live events and recording sessions.

Equipped with Soundcraft’s renowned GB30 microphone preamplifiers and GB30 equalizer design, the GB2 delivers low-noise signal amplification and accurate tonal control across every mono input channel. The professional-grade audio circuitry ensures clear vocal reproduction, detailed instrument capture, and consistent sound quality throughout demanding live production environments.

For flexible signal management, the console incorporates two stereo subgroup outputs that simplify routing to monitor systems, external recorders, or additional audio processing equipment. An integrated matrix mixer further expands routing capabilities by allowing signals to be distributed to multiple destinations without affecting the primary mix. Four auxiliary sends provide dedicated outputs for stage monitors, external effects processors, and additional sound reinforcement systems. Direct outputs on every mono input channel support individual channel recording, making the GB2 an excellent solution for simultaneous live sound reinforcement and multitrack recording. An integrated meter bridge provides accurate visual monitoring of signal levels for reliable system operation.
