GB4000 Generator
The world's most versatile 20 MHz sweep/function generator. The only frequency generator capable of running up to 8 frequencies simultaneously โ with perfect accuracy, worldwide voltage compatibility, and over 24 years of research behind every unit. A complete, powerful instrument straight out of the box.
Complete NZ kit โ GB4000 generator, NZ-made stainless accessories & frequency list book. One order from New Zealand.

1 Hz โ 20 Million Hz
The widest frequency range of any contact instrument on the market. Most competitors are limited to 400,000 Hz or less โ the GB4000 covers the full range used in the original 1930s and 1950s research instruments.
0.01 Hz Accuracy
Crystal Oscillator combined with a Digital Signal Processor, converted to analog before output. Accurate to one hundredth of a Hertz โ frequencies are guaranteed not to drift once set.
8 Frequencies at Once
The only instrument in the world capable of running up to 8 audio frequencies simultaneously to 40,000 Hz without frequency degradation. Up to 8ร faster than any single-frequency instrument.
Highest Contact Power
4.7W RF output at over 110 volts peak-to-peak โ 23 to 47 times more powerful than standard contact frequency generators. Four output connections versus the industry standard of two.
Easiest Interface
Full membrane keypad โ every function instantly accessible with no menu scrolling. 875 channels pre-loaded. Frequencies displayed on screen. No hidden program numbers. PC software included.
Complete NZ Kit
Most distributors make you source the generator, accessories, and frequency list book separately. We ship everything together as one complete, tested kit โ with NZ-made stainless accessories included.
Full frequency range โ 1 Hz to 20 million Hz
Most contact frequency instruments on the market are limited to 10,000โ400,000 Hz. The GB4000 covers 1 Hz to 20,000,000 Hz โ the full range used by the original researchers across four decades of work. This means you are not limited to using only audio frequencies or relying on harmonic workarounds to reach higher RF frequencies.

Digital precision. True analog output.
There is a persistent debate in the frequency generator market about digital versus analog output. The GB4000 settles it clearly: frequencies are generated digitally for precision, then converted to a true analog signal before they leave the unit. This is the best of both worlds โ and it is how every serious frequency generator on the market works, including the GB4000.
How the signal path works:
Digital generation
Digital-to-Analog
Low-pass / bandpass
True analog signal
The result is a highly accurate analog frequency โ complete with all the overtones and undertones of that analog frequency โ that can be swept up or down with far more precision than any purely analog tube-type instrument. An old tube generator could only produce 1500 Hz where the GB4000 can produce 1500.5 Hz, or any value to 0.01 Hz resolution. Claims of "advanced analog harmonics" from competitors who use the same digital-to-analog process are marketing hype; spectrum analysis shows all such instruments produce equivalent analog harmonics.
Accuracy, waveforms and sweeps
The GB4000 is accurate to 0.01 Hz โ one hundredth of a Hertz. Enter a frequency and that is the exact frequency you get. Frequencies are guaranteed not to drift once set. The original instruments of the 1920sโ1940s could not achieve this level of accuracy; today the GB4000 exceeds it substantially.
โฌ Square wave
Outputs to 100,000 Hz. Variable duty cycle from 10% to 100% โ most competitors are fixed at 50%. The most powerful waveform for generating harmonics. Used in the original 1930s/1950s instruments.
Duty cycle: 10โ100%
ใฐ๏ธ Sine wave
Outputs to the full 20,000,000 Hz. Clean, smooth waveform. Used alongside the RF carrier for the modulation method used in the original number 5 machine.
Full 20 MHz range
Three sweep types:
The only generator that runs 8 frequencies at once
To output up to 8 individual frequencies simultaneously, the GB4000 uses one Digital Synthesizing Processor (DSP) and two Direct Digital Synthesizers (DDS). The DSP outputs 1 to 8 audio frequencies simultaneously up to 40,000 Hz. The two DDS units output up to 2 RF frequencies simultaneously from 40,000 Hz to 20 million Hz. All frequencies are then summed together so every frequency runs at the same power level โ no degradation regardless of how many are running simultaneously.
24 min
8 frequencies
one at a time
3 min
8 frequencies
simultaneously
Running 8 frequencies one at a time at 3 minutes each takes 24 minutes. The GB4000 runs all 8 in just 3 minutes โ it is like having 8 frequency generators for the price of one. No additional equipment needed; this capability ships as standard.
Power output โ the highest in its class
The GB4000 is 23 to 47 times more powerful than standard contact frequency generators, with over 110 volts peak-to-peak in RF mode. Most standard generators operate at 1/10th to 1/5th of a watt โ the GB4000 runs at up to 4.7 watts, giving it ample power to run multiple frequencies simultaneously without any degradation in each frequency's output power.

Want more power?
The SR4 amplifier connects directly to the GB4000 and raises the output to a variable 1โ15W โ 75ร more powerful than most competing contact instruments. Or upgrade to the M.O.P.A. for 190W non-contact output through a plasma tube.
The easiest interface โ built for everyday use
When you are running your frequencies, the last thing you want is to fight your instrument. The GB4000 has a full membrane keypad with every function and number directly accessible โ no scrolling through menus, no hidden program numbers. All frequencies display on the LCD as you run them.
