Allen & Heath GL2400

Toonaangevend en onafhankelijk, het oordeel van Sound on Sound is altijd eerlijk en vaak invloedrijk. De GL2400 van Allen & Heath werd in augustus aan de tand gevoeld, en uitstekend bevonden.

De nieuwe GL-series zijn nu volop verkrijgbaar voor aangenaam scherpe prijzen.

Allen & Heath has unveiled the 4-bus dual-function GL2400 live sound mixer, a successor to the industry-standard GL2200, at the Pro Light & Sound exhibition in Frankfurt.

• 4 Group, 6 Aux, LR mix
• Enhanced 7x4 matrix
• Multi-source stereo channels
• Aux-fed subs capability
• Frame sizes 16, 24, 32, 40 incl. 2 dual stereo channels

Available in 16, 24, 32 and 40 channel frame sizes - all individual vertical PCB's and copper bus bar grounding - the GL2400 benefits from the latest audio circuitry with an extended preamp gain range of 74dB with input on XLR or jack, differential balanced +26dBu outputs, and a new ultra-quiet mix head amp design for optimum dynamic range.

Based on dual-function capability, which Allen & Heath pioneered in the early 1990's, the new GL2400 has been developed with a feature set dedicated to modern sound engineering, such as in-ear monitoring and matrix recording.

The GL2400 has a third master fader, which can be configured to create a centre-fill or sub-bass mix from Aux 6, a mono sum of the LR mix, or a monitor wedge output. All channels have pre/post fader aux switching, and in Monitor mode, all auxes are available on faders with mutes, inserts, meters and XLR drive.

One of the key features of the GL2400 is the new 7x4 matrix, which provides extra output flexibility. In FOH mode, independent fill speaker and acoustics compensated recording feeds can be created, while in Monitor mode, the matrix offers more monitor outputs from the groups and LR with added ambience for in-ear applications.
