Allen & Heath GL2800M-840 40-Input, 8-Bus Live Sound Console

The Allen & Heath GL series live sound reinforcement consoles exhibit the quality and detail synonymous with consoles that would render some live sound rigs over budget. The GL2800M-840 is a 40 input, 8-bus monitor console designed to address the needs of accurate stage and in-ear monitor mixing at a fraction of the cost. The mixer is capable of up to 16 simultaneous mixes globally assigned as mono or stereo with level and pan. Sound engineers benefit from actual wedge of IEM monitoring, for an accurate representation of what the talent hears.

Each input channel features a 4-band semi-parametric EQ, complete with In/Out switch. A HPF filter switch attenuates frequencies below 100Hz by 12dB per octave. The main output section consists of Left, Right and Mono outputs via balanced 3-pin male XLR connections. The combination of stereo and mono outputs allows the engineer to mix a stereo image while sending mono signals to subs or a separate center (or "C") channel mix.

The Allen & Heath GL2400M-840 is a budget conscious, work-horse monitor mixer designed to meet the needs in large clubs, houses-of-worship, theaters, halls, outdoor band shells, rehearsal studios, recording studios, etc.
