Allen & Heath Announces GLD Digital Mixing Training Sessions at WFX Show Atlanta

Allen & Heath will showcase the new GLD digital mixing system during this year's WFX Show in Atlanta, September 19 - 21, offering free, hands-on, digital mixing training sessions at Booth #303.

Introduced earlier this year, the GLD is billed as being a user-friendly, cost effective and scalable live digital mixing system, conceptually based on the hugely 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, eight stereo FX returns fed by iLive's 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-and-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 (eight XLR inputs, four 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 four 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.
