Guaranteed Versatility
The Allen and Heath GL2400-24 Live Mixer is designed for a wide range of professional audio applications. Whether mixing front of house, recording live or in the studio, installed in a busy or house of worship, out on the road touring or earning its keep in rental stock, the GL2400 provides all of the control you need over your audio.
Ultimate Mixing Experience
Engineered for modern engineering techniques, every detail in this mixer has been carefully thought out to provide the very best mixing experience. For example, the mono output can be configured as LR sum, wedge, or aux-fed sub or centre master. In Monitor mode, all six auxes are available on faders with mutes, inserts, meters and XLR drive. The new 7x4 matrix with ambient mic capability opens up a huge number of mixing applications, including stereo recording, zone feeds, delay fill speakers and stereo in-ear monitor mixes.
Extended Headroom Preamp Design
The GL2400 Series includes other thoughtful new touches such as the pluggable option jumpers, XLR lamp sockets and optional Sys-Link V2 expandability. Performance is top-flight with the latest extended headroom preamp design, responsive 4-band EQ, and a new ultra-quiet mix head amp. The stylish new design uses individual nutted pot cards in a rugged, all-steel small footprint chassis, ideal for flightcasing or the space-limited venue.
