Allen & Heath will be showcasing the new GLD Digital Mixing System during this year’s WFX show in Atlanta, GA September 19th – 21st offering free, hands-on, digital mixing training sessions at booth #303.
If you’ve been interested in trying out the new compact digital mixer, now is the time.
Introduced earlier this year, the GLD is a user-friendly, cost effective and scalable live digital mixing system, conceptually based on the successful digital iLive series.
A fully expanded GLD system is capable of up to 112 inputs and 88 outputs when outfitted with the optional port I/O card.
At the heart of the system is the GLD-80 mixer, providing 48 processing channels, 8 stereo FX returns fed by iLive’s acclaimed FX emulations, 30 configurable buses, 20 mix channels, and DSP power to provide full processing without compromise.
The GLD-80 connects to a range of plug ‘n play I/O racks to ‘build’ 28, 36 or 44 mic input systems A primary AR2412 rack (24 XLR inputs, 12 XLR outs with built in monitor port) and up to two AR84 expander racks (8 XLR inputs, 4 XLR outs each) can be connected over 120m CAT5 runs using A&H’s dSNAKE protocol. dSNAKE provides control to the remote preamp, and all mic preamps are scene recallable.
AR2412 also includes a monitor port connection for personal monitor systems such as the Aviom A16D.
GLD has the ability to record and playback a stereo signal on a USB memory stick. The System will record to .WAV file formats and will play back 4 different formats including Mp3, Mp4, .Wav and .Flac files.
Standard iLive audio I/O option cards for Dante, MADI, EtherSound, Waves Soundgrid and Allen & Heath’s ACE protocols can be fitted, allowing multi-channel record/playback, FOH/monitor splits, and connection to A&H iLive systems, which can easily be configured using GLD’s extensive soft-patching and the Industry’s first and only ‘drag and drop’ multi-gesturing touch screen.
