Soundcraft GB4

Electronically, the GB4 gains a new Soundcraft mic-preamp and EQ section, both designed by Soundcraft founder and electronics wizard Graham Blyth. “The new GB30 mic pre on the GB4 brings together some of the quality and precision of the mic pre’s we use on our biggest touring desk. “The GB30 EQ, owing its heritage to the work we did on the new MH range, gives a steeper than usual slope on the fixed LF and HF sections, removing unwanted mid-frequency ‘mush’ and delivering a clearer sound.

MONITORING SYSTEM


The  Central Station is a comprehensive monitor switching center. The main audio path of the Central Station is completely passive, offering the most transparent sonic quality. This mastering-level signal path has no amplifier stages, including op amps, active ICs, or chips eliminating coloration, noise, and distortion. To minimize noise and maximize signal integrity, this PreSonus unit is equipped with 34 sealed relays that use a minimal signal path design so that the audio does not pass through extraneous electronics.

-2  Digimax FS 8 channel mic pres

The DigiMax FS is loaded with new patented JetPLL™ jitter reduction technology ensuring ultra-high converter performance, fast and robust locking through a wide range and variation of frequencies and noise shaping to remove nearly all audio band jitter.

Superior Analog Circuitry - XMAX Class A Preamplifiers
The DigiMax FS starts with eight custom-designed high-voltage, discrete, XMAX Class A microphone preamplifiers.

JetPLL™ is a patented solution for audio band jitter attentuation.

The fundamental problem in audio networks comes as more devices with clocks are added to the system -- there is a beating of the clocks against each other which creates additive audio band jitter. Traditional solutions involve expensive VCXO's and/or sample rate conversion. There is the further complication of low quality clocks in lower cost devices -- as networked products and systems become more common, lower prices for consumer and professional equipment drive manufacturers to use poorer clock solutions. In many cases, the variation from the specified clock frequency is so great that it falls outside the ability of many clocking solutions to cope (e.g. >100ppm variance). In such cases, equipment simply fails to work. This is not acceptable in either pro, CE or prosumer markets.

JetPLL™ provides the same performance as traditional, expensive clocking solutions found in the world's best professional clocking products. JetPLL™ is highly robust and extremely tolerant of wide variations in clock frequencies. As a result, with JetPLL™, equipment just works.
