General Precautions

Avoid storing or using the mixing console in conditions of excessive heat or cold, or in positions where it is likely to be subject to vibration, dust or moisture. Do not use any liquids to clean the fascia of the unit: a soft dry cloth is ideal.

Avoid using the console close to strong sources of electromagnetic radiation (e.g. video monitors, high-power electric cabling): this may cause degradation of the audio quality due to induced voltages in connecting leads and chassis.

Caution! In all cases, refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Handling and Transport

The console is supplied in a strong carton. If it is necessary to move it any distance after installation it is recommended that this packing is used to protect it. Be sure to disconnect all cabling before moving. If the console is to be regularly moved we recommend that it is installed in a foam lined flightcase. At all times avoid applying excessive force to any knobs, switches or connectors.

Power Cable

Always use the power supply cable supplied with the mixer: the use of alternative cables may cause damage and voids the warranty.

W a r n i n g ! In the event of an electrical storm, or large mains voltage fluctuations, immediately switch off the mixer and unplug from the mains.

Signal Levels

It is important to supply the correct input levels to the console, otherwise signal to noise ratio or distortion performance may be degraded; and in extreme cases, damage to the internal) circuitry may result. Likewise, on all balanced inputs avoid sources with large common mode DC, AC or RF voltages, as these will reduce the available signal range on the inputs. Note that OdBu =0.775V

RMS.

Refer to the Specifications section for details of input and output levels.

Mains Installation

General Wiring Procedures

To take full advantage of the excellent signal to noise ratio and low distortion of Soundcraft consoles, care must be taken to ensure that incorrect installation and wiring does not degrade the performance of the desk. Hum, buzz, instability and Radio Frequency interference can usually be traced to earth loops and inferior earthing systems. In some areas, especially heavily industrial areas, the incoming mains earth will not be adequate and a separate technical earth for all the audio equipment must be supplied.

However, check with your local electricity supply company to ensure that safety regulations are not infringed or negated.

The successful, hum free, installation of a system requires forethought, and the establishment of a set of ground rules, which must be consistently adhered to at all stages of installation.

12 GB4 User Guide

Initial Wiring Considerations

For optimum performance, it is essential for the earthing system to be clean and noise free, as all signals are referenced to this earth. A central point should be decided on for the main earth point system, and all earths should be 'star fed' from this point. It is common electrical practice to `daisy chain' the earths to all electrical outlets but this method is unsuitable for audio installations. The preferred method is to run an individual earth wire from each outlet, back to the system star point to provide a safety earth screen reference for each piece of equipment.A separate earth wire should also be run from each equipment rack and area, to the star point. This may or may not be used depending on circumstances, but it is easier to install in the first place, than later when problems arise.The location of the star point should be a convenient, easily accessible place, preferably at the rear of the console or in the main equipment rack.

Install separate 'clean' and 'dirty' mains outlets, wired individually back to the incoming mains distribution box. Use the 'clean' supply for all audio equipment and the `dirty' supply for all lighting, etc. Never mix the two systems.

If necessary, to provide sufficient isolation from mains borne interference, install an isolating transformer. This should be provided with a Faraday Shield which must be connected with earth.

Never locate the incoming mains distribution box near audio equipment, especially tape recorders, which are very sensitive to electro-magnetic fields.

Ensure that all equipment racks are connected to earth, via a separate wire back to the star point.

Equipment which has unbalanced inputs and outputs may need to be isolated from the rack to prevent earth loops.

Audio Wiring

Having provided all equipment with power and earthing connections, consideration must be given to the method of providing audio interconnection and adequate screening of those interconnections. This must be done in a logical sequence to avoid problems and assist in the localisation of problem equipment.

Connect the FOH or Monitor system to the console and check for any hum, buzz, or RFI. Only when you are satisfied with the quietness of the console and the PA system should you proceed with the next step.

Connect stereo or multitracktape recorders, FX and foldback sends one at a time, checking and isolating any connection which degrades performance.

Connect all other peripheral devices.

Connect all microphone lines.

By following this sequence much time and future trouble will be saved, and the result will be a quiet, stable system.

Shielding

Audio equipment is supplied with a variety of input and output configurations, which must be taken into consideration when deciding where the screen connections should be made. There are three sources of unwanted signal being impressed on the screen, which are as follows:

Extraneous electrostatic or electromagnetic fields.

Noise and interference on the earth line.

Capacitive coupling between the screen and signal wires.

To minimise the adverse affects of the unwanted coupling to the signal wires, it is important that the screen is connected at one end only, i.e. the screen must not carry any signal) current. Any signal) on the wires within the screen will be capacitively coupled to the screen. This current will ultimately be returned to the source of the signal, either directly, if the screen is connected at the signal source end, or indirectly via the earthing system, if the signal is connected at the signal destination end. The indirect connection will cause an increase in high frequency cross-talk, and should be avoided wherever possible.

Therefore, in general, always connect the shield only at the signal source end. In high RF areas, the screen can also be connected to earth via a 0.01 mF capacitor. This will present a short circuit at RF frequencies, thus lowering the effective shield impedance to ground. However, at low audio frequencies the reactance of the capacitor will be sufficiently high not to cause an earth loop problem.

GB4 User Guide 13

Points to Remember

In all cases, use good quality twin screened audio cable. Check for instability at the output.

Always connect both conductors at both ends, and ensure that the screen is only connected at one end.

Do not disconnect the mains earth from each piece of equipment. This is needed to provide both safety and screen returns to the system star point.

Equipment which has balanced inputs and outputs may need to be electrically isolated from the equipment rack and/or other equipment, to avoid earth loops.

It is important to remember that all equipment which is connected to the mains is a potential source of hum and interference and may radiate both electrostatic or electromagnetic radiation. In addition, the mains will also act as a carrier for many forms of RF interference generated by electric motors, air-conditioning units, thyristor light dimmers etc. Unless the earth system is clean, all attempts to improve hum noise levels will be futile. In extreme cases there will be no alternative but to provide a completely separate and independent `technical earth' to replace the incoming 'noisy earth'. However, always consult your local electricity supply authority to ensure that safety regulations are not being infringed.

WORKING SAFELY WITH SOUND

Although your new console will not make any noise until you feed it signals, it has the capability to produce sounds which when monitored through an amplifier or headphones can damage hearing over time.

Conforming to this directive will minimise the risk of hearing damage caused by long listening periods. A simple rule to follow is the longer you listen the lower the average volume should be.

Please take care when working with your audio - if you are manipulating controls which you don’t understand (which we all do when we are learning), make sure your monitors are turned down. Remember that your ears are the most important tool of your trade, look after them, and they will look after you.

Most importantly - don’t be afraid to experiment to find out how each parameter affects the sound - this will extend your creativity and help you to get the best results.

Setting Up & Troubleshooting

Initial set-up

Once you have connected up your system (see the sections on connection and wiring earlier in this manual for guidance) you are ready to set initial positions for the controls on your mixer.

Set up individual input channel as follows:

Connect your sources (microphone, keyboard etc.) to the required inputs and release the MUTE switches. Note: Phantom powered mics should be connected before the 48V is switched on.

Set Master faders at 0, input faders at 0, route the channels to MIX and set power amplifier level to suit the application.

Provide a typical performance level signal and press the PFL button on the first channel, monitoring the level on the bargraph meters.

Adjust the input gain until the meter display is in the amber section, with occasional peaks to the first red LED at a typical maximum source level. This allows sufficient headroom to accommodate peaks and establishes the maximum level for normal operation (but see note below).

Repeat this procedure on other channels as required.

Listen carefully for the characteristic sound of `feedback’. If you cannot achieve satisfactory input level setting without feedback, check microphone and speaker placement and repeat the exercise. If feedback persists, it may be necessary to use a Graphic Equaliser to reduce the system response at particular resonant frequencies.

Note: The initial settings should only be regarded as a starting point for your mix. It is important to remember that many factors affect the sound during a live performance, for instance the channel EQ settings or even the size of the audience!

You are now ready to start building the mix and this should be done progressively, listening carefully for each component in the mix and watching the meters for any hint of overload. If this occurs, back off the appropriate Channel Fader slightly until the level is out of the red segments, or adjust the Mix Master Faders. This procedure will ensure that the mixer is set up correctly, with adequate headroom. If more amplification is needed, adjust the power amplifier level controls.

Mono Input

MIC GAIN (1) adjusts the sensitivity of both mic (XLR) and Line (1/4” jack) inputs. Both inputs are electronically balanced, and are located on the rear connector panel.

The PEAK LED (2), monitors two points in the audio path: pre-insert point and post-EQ.

The 48V switch (3) applies 48V phantom power to the input XLR. An adjacent LED indicates when the phantom power is on.

The PHASE switch (4) reverses the phase of the selected input.

HI-PASS (5) switches in the high-pass filter.

The module insert point is pre-EQ , pre-fader. It is located on the rear connector panel.

The EQ section (6) is four band, with shelving HF and LF, and swept peaking high and low mid sections.

The HF and LF sections give +/-15dB cut/boost at 12kHz and 60Hz respectively. The Lo-mid section gives +/-15dB cut/boost at 80Hz-1.9kHz. The Hi-mid section gives +/-15dB cut/boost at

550Hz-13kHz.

The section is switched in by the EQ switch (7).

Signal is sent to the AUX 1-8 busses via individual level pots (8). Aux 1- 4 are pre fader signals, whilst Aux 5-8 are globally selectable pre or post fade via switches on the master section.

Signal for the L+R (main mix), 1-2 group busses and 3-4 group busses are routed via the PAN pot (9). The pan pot positions the signal within the stereo image.

The signal in the module is turned on and off by the illuminated MUTE switch (10), and also the master mutes M1-M4 from the master section, if they are selected using the M1 - M4 switches

(11).

Post-fader signal level is controlled by a 100mm fader (12).

The signal is sent to the stereo mix bus, centre bus and 4 group busses using the C, L+R, 1-2 and 3-4 switches (13). Note the use of group 1 & 2, and group 3 & 4 as 2 sets of stereo pairs.

A 4-segment LED bargraph meter (14), next to the fader, meters the signal post-EQ, pre-mute, pre-fade. The meter has a peak type response.

The PFL switch (15) feeds the pre-mute, pre-fade signal to the monitor output and phones output. An adjacent LED indicates when the PFL is on.

Stereo Input

STE MIC GAIN (1) adjusts the sensitivity of both pairs of Mic (XLRs) or Line (1/4" jacks) inputs.

Both pairs are electronically balanced, and are located on the rear connector panel.

The PEAK LED (2), monitors both left and right signals after the gain control.

The 48V switch (3) applies 48V phantom power to the input XLRs. An adjacent LED indicates when the phantom power is on.

The Left PHASE switch (4) inverts the phase of the left channel.

The L switch (5) routes the left input signal to both L and R channels in the module. The R switch similarly routes the right input signal. Pressing L and R together mono sums the input.

The EQ section (6) is four band, with shelving high and low frequencies and peaking high-mid and low-mid bands.

The HF control gives +/-15dB cut/boost at 12KHz. The LF control gives +/-15dB cut/boost at

60Hz. The HM control gives +/-15dB cut/boost at a centre frequency of 2.5kHz, and the LM control gives +/-15dB cut/boost at a centre frequency of 450Hz.

The EQ is switched in by the EQ switch (7).

A mono sum of the signal is sent to the AUX 1-8 busses via individual level pots (8). Aux 1- 4 are pre fader signals, whilst Aux 5-8 are globally selectable pre or post fade via switches on the master section.

The BAL control (9) allows the stereo image to be balanced between the left and right channels within the module.

The stereo signal in the module is turned on and off by the illuminated MUTE switch (10), and also the master mutes M1-M4 from the master section, if they are selected using the M1 - M4 switches (11).

Post-fader signal level is controlled by a 100mm stereo fader (12).

The signal is sent to the stereo mix bus, centre bus and 4 group busses using the C, L+R, 1-2 and 3-4 switches (13). Note the use of group 1 & 2, and group 3 & 4 as 2 sets of stereo pairs.

The feed to the centre bus is a mono sum of the stereo signal.

A 4-segment LED bargraph meter (14), next to the fader, meters the signal post-EQ, pre-mute, pre-fade. The meter has a peak type response.

The PFL switch (15) feeds a mono sum of the pre-mute, pre-fade signal to the monitor output and phones output. An adjacent LED indicates when the PFL is on.

GROUPS

Note that the group controls are swappable with the aux 1-4 controls by pressing the GRP/AUX

SWAP switches (1). If the contols are swapped the aux and group faders swap function (and their respective AFL buttons) and the group insert point becomes an aux insert point. The 12segment meter swaps function.The group and aux output connectors retain their original function.

The following description assumes that swap mode is NOT used.

The GRPx fader (2) controls the level after the insert point. This signal is fed to the Group Output

XLR on the rear connector panel.

The 12-segment meter (3) monitors the level after the fader.

The AFL button (4) feeds the group post-fader signal to the monitor output and phones output.

The post-fader signal is routed to the main mix stereo pair via the L-R switch (5) and the centre mix via the C switch (6). The Group PAN pot (7) is before the L-R switch in the signal path. It is used to position the group’s signal within the stereo image of the main mix.

The post-fader signal may be routed to any or all of the 4 matrix busses via the four matrix input pots (8).

AUX MASTERS 1-4

Aux masters 1-4 are all pre-fade feeds from the input modules.

Each AUX master 1-4 level pot (9) controls the level fed from its own aux bus to its aux output.

The AFL button (10) feeds the aux post-fader signal to the monitor output and phones output.

AUX MASTERS 5-8

Aux masters 5-8 are each globally selectable to be pre-fade or post-fade feeds. this is done via the PRE (11) switch.

Each AUX master 5-8 level pot (12) controls the level fed from its own aux bus to its aux output.

The AFL button (13) feeds the aux post-fader signal to the monitor output and phones output.

MATRIX MASTERS

Each MTX MASTER level pot (14) controls the level fed from its own matrix bus to its matrix output.

The AFL button (15) feeds the matrix master post-fader signal to the monitor output and phones output.

L, R & C Outputs

Each of the 3 main mix busses, Left, Right and Centre, has its own insert point. These are located on the rear connector panel. Each mix bus has its own Fader (16) following the insert point in the signal path.

The post-fader signal for each bus is then routed to the following places:

• its main output XLR on the rear connector panel,

• feeds to the matrix 1- 4 buses (17),

• the REC/ALT output section,

• the MONITOR SOURCE select switches L-R (18) and C (19).

A mono sum of the L & R outputs can be routed to the C output via the L-R TO CENTRE switch

(20).

REC/ALT Outputs

The REC/ALT output is a stereo pair. Each of the 2 channels (L & R) has 2 output connectors on the rear connector panel: an RCA phono socket and a 1/4” jack.

The three feeds to the REC/ALT section are from the L, R & C main faders (16). The C switch

(21) feeds the C signal to both L & R channels. The MONO switch (22) sums both the left and right channels together.

The LEVEL pot (23) feeds the stereo signal to a limiter which can be enabled by the LIMITER

ON switch (24), the adjacent LED indicates when the limiter is active.

The stereo signal is then fed to the rear connector panel.

Monitoring & PFL

The monitor section feeds the control room L & R outputs (on the rear connector panel) and the headphones output (right hand front of console).

The sources for the monitor section are:

• the 2-track input (25), its volume is controlled by the 2-TRK LEVEL control (26),

• the centre mix, C (19), and

• the main mix, L-R (18).

Any or all of these sources may be selected at any one time. The monitor signals (L & R) are passed to the control room L & R outputs via the C/ROOM level pot (27), and to the headphones socket via the H/PHONES pot (28). The monitor L & R signals can be mono summed using the

MNO switch (29).

The L & R 12-segment meters (30) indicate the level of the monitored signal, as selected by the monitor source select switches. The CENTRE meter (31) monitors the Centre mix output except when any AFL or PFL button is pressed.

When a PFL or AFL button is pressed the CENTRE meter displays the pfl/afl signal level, and the pfl/afl signal is routed to the control room outputs and to the headphones. This signal replaces the normal monitor signal. The PFL/AFL LED (32) illuminates when this is happening.

Note: the 2-track input may also be routed directly to the main L-R mix via the 2 TRK TO MIX switch (33).

Master Mutes

These four switches (34) will mute any input modules which have been assigned to them.

GB4 User Guide

GB4 User Guide

Talkback

The talkback mic input is on the rear connector panel.

The level of the talkback mic signal is controlled by the LEVEL pot (35). The signal is the fed to all groups, aux 1-2, aux 3-4, aux 5-6 and aux 7-8 using the appropriate buttons (36).

Stereo Returns

There are two stereo return channels. The connectors are 1/4” jacks on the rear connector panel.

Each has its own level control (37), and each may be routed to the L-R main mix or to groups 1-

2 for Stereo Return 1 or to groups 3-4 for Stereo Return 2 via the appropriate switches (38).

PSU Monitor LEDs

These LEDS (39) confirm the presence of the correct voltage on the +8V and the +/-17V power rails in the console.
