On the rear of the GLD-112, there are four XLR mic/line inputs, four XLR line outputs, 4 RCA inputs, 2 RCA outputs and digital connections (S/PDIF and AES3). This is easy to expand further with the separately-available AR2412 rack, adding and extra 24x XLR inputs, 12x XLR outputs and a connection for Personal Mixing Systems. What's more, you can use two extra AR84 expander racks as well. The various racks communicate via a regular network cable (CAT5) that can be up to 120 metres long.
Intuitive Operation
Under the bonnet, the GLD-112 is drive by innovative digital technology and motorised faders so you can assign the inputs and outputs to the various sliders and toggle between functions easily, using the practically-positioned buttons and assignable Softkeys. The touch-sensitive colour display has a drag & drop layout, which facilitates fast, intuitive control.
Effects, Recording and iPad Operation
Allen & Heath are known for high-quality, professional audio, but they also give the competition a run for their money in other areas as well. With the GLD-112, you can add compression and equalisation to the channels, along with effects like a de-esser, delay, chorus and reverb. You can record the stereo mix to USB stick, operate the mixer from a distance via your iPad, and use iLive cards (Dante, MADI, Ethersound, ACE) for multi-channel recording.
