Allen & Heath GL2800-832 - 32 Channel Mixer

Allen & Heath's GL2800 is designed for use in any live sound application, including theatres, music venues, houses of worship, festivals, corporate AV and stadiums. With its neat, intuitive layout and straightforward analogue technology, clean audio and high dynamic range, its performance easily rivals that of the best digital consoles.

The GL2800 is derived from Allen & Heath's classic GL Series, a popular mixer for mid-range mixing applications. GL2800 is equipped with 10 auxiliary sends - including a dedicated stereo aux - and using the 12x4 matrix, provides an ideal solution for IEM and stereo recording. 8 audio groups and L,R and M busses are also provided, allowing for full dual functionality with 10 mixes with faders, inserts and XLR drive. At the heart of this design is a new gain structure allowing a whopping 34dBu maximum input capability and a new ultra-quiet mix head amp section, delivering excellent audio performance.
