GL2400-16 16 Channel Mixer

The new GL Series from Allen & Heath provides the benefits of analogue audio performance and intuitive walk up and go operation, and features an enhanced capability for the latest in live sound mixing such as in-ear monitoring, mix-fed subs, ambient recording, engineers wedge/earpiece monitoring and matrix flexibility. In the GL Series, Allen & Heath has retained the rock-solid, all-metal, individual card build for which they are renowned. Every detail of the GL2400 has been carefully implemented with no controls redundant in either mode. When mixing Front-of-House, the monitors can be set pre-insert as well as pre-EQ to prevent your house mix EQ and compression affecting the stage mix. Per channel aux switching means you can mix pre-fade with post-fade sends such as theatre radio mics and sound effects. As a monitor console, the aux masters get faders, inserts, mutes, meters and balanced XLR drive. You even get a fader controlled engineer' wedge feed. The Groups and LR mixes are still available to create yet more sends. In monitor mode the GL2400 can provide up to 10 mixes, for example 6 wedge and 2 stereo IEM. A new mic preamp has been created with 74dB gain range and massive headroom, in order to deal with the widest range of signals right up to +34dBu. The GL2400 also has a low-noise mix amp, responsive 4 band EQ, and differential balanced +26dBu outputs. In fact, every stage has been carefully designed to ensure optimum gain structure and the best sonic performance possible. There are three master faders on the GL2400. A configurable M fader lets you create an LR sum mono fill, an engineer's monitor wedge feed, or a dedicated centre or sub-bass speaker mix from Aux 6 - which means you can dial in exactly what you need from each channel. L, R and M each provide a dedicated meter, mute, AFL and balanced XLR output. The 7x4 Matrix is a big feature for corporate AV work, specialised recording and broadcast feeds, and personal monitoring. Smart auto-switching of the external inputs lets you add a common mono, stereo or independent sources to the matrix. Cross patch from the stereo channel mic breakpoints to add room ambience to your recording and IEM feeds. Dual Stereo Channels provide a mic and 2 stereo line inputs each. Use the channels as mic inputs while the 4 stereos are independently routed to LR, or combine stereo sources such as backing tracks and reverbs while the mics are patched elsewhere, or use conventional stereo channels while the second inputs provide additional returns and the mics patch into the matrix for ambience. 16 channels; LR and M main outputs; 4 Audio groups with pan control; 6 Auxiliary sends with per-channel pre/post fader switching; 2 stereo channels each with mic and dual stereo line inputs; 7x4 Matrix; Proper dual functionality for FOH and/or Monitor mixing; M can be configured as LR sum, Wedge, or Aux-Fed Sub or C master; Recording capable with channel direct outputs; Matrix external inputs with level trims and common input capability; Stereo channel line inputs can be independently routed to LR; Stereo channel mic input breakpoints for cross patching into matrix; Responsive 4 band, 2 sweep EQ; 100Hz channel high pass filters; Individual phantom power and Polarity switching; Dedicated Channel, Master and stereo Monitor meters; Internal jumper plugs for pre/post-EQ aux, direct out and other options; Mutes, meters and AFL on all fader masters; Assignable talkback; Not Available for Expedite Shipping
