Allen & Heath GLD-AR2412 expansionsrack

Allmänt

With the arrival of the GLD series, digital pro audio technology became much more affordable. The GLD series allows you to use expansion rack with built-in, remotely controlled preamps, so that incoming signals are digitised and jointly transmitted to the GLD-80 mixer via the Cat5 cable.

The GLD-AR2412 Expansion Rack

This expansion rack has 24 inputs and 12 outputs, making it the ideal on-stage companion. In essence, it behaves as a breakout box, but features artificial intelligence, built-in preamps and even Cat5 connectors. The AR2412 is the primary expansion rack of the GLD series and is the most logical choice when expansion is required, as the GLD-80 mixer only features a few inputs and outputs. Via the dSNAKE protocol, signals are transmitted via Cat5 cables of up to 120 metres, so that the mixer can be positioned further away from the stage. It's also possible to expand upon the AR2412 with an additional expansion rack that can easily be connected via the extra output. Furthermore, the GLD-AR2412 has an Aviom-compatible monitor output, for assigning personal monitoring systems like in-ear headphones or floor monitors.

Applications of the AR-2412

The GLD-AR2412 is versatile and can be used in various locations, it's perfect to install in a fixed rack. The accessory mixer can be locked away in a mobile rack, saving you having to haul it everywhere. Enjoy the benefits of a versatile setup by installing the GLD-AR2412 in a fixed location, for instance, and keep a separate unit in a mobile case for events on varying locations.
