ALLEN HEATH GL2400-24 4 Buss 24 Input Ch Live Console
The GL2400-24 is a 24 channel, 4 group, 6 aux, LR mix, dual function live sound console.
Includes 7x4 matrix and aux-fed subs capability.
Dual Functionality
As pioneers of dual functionality, Allen & Heath has ensured that
every detail of the concept 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.
Performance
Our new mic preamp has an extended 74dB gain range with massive headroom
able to deal with the widest range of signals right up to +34dBu. From our new low-noise
mix amp through responsive 4 band EQ to the differential balanced +26dBu outputs,
every stage has been carefully designed to ensure optimum gain structure and the
best sonic performance possible.
Third Fader
There are three master faders on the GL2400. The configurable M fader
lets you create an LR sum mono fill, an engineers monitor wedge feed, or a dedicated
center 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.
7x4 Matrix
The matrix is a big feature for corporate AV work, specialized 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
These two multi-function 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.
True versatility in a tiny space.
