Series 400B
Launched in 1983, the 400B replaced the Series 400, by providing more facilities at less
money. It achieved this by applying skilled production engineering to the design of the
console, enabling manufacturing costs to be lower than ever.
Retaining the classic 4-band sweep EQ, the 400B had 4 groups and 4 Aux sends, with a
choice of input and output modules giving the same tailoring of configuration between
recording, front-of-house and monitoring as had proved successful on the older Series
800.
A built-in VU meterbridge was designed not to use any extra frame extrusions, and this
gave the 400B its characteristic ‘recessed’ appearance.
The 400B was to set a new record for volume production at Soundcraft until its
replacement in 1985 by the Series 500 and 600.
