Frequently Asked Questions
Why would someone choose an analogue mixer over a digital console?
Analogue mixing offers intuitive, hands-on control with no menus or screens, appealing to engineers who prefer tactile fader operation. Many touring companies and rental houses value the simplicity and reliability of the GL2400 format.
What venue sizes does the 30+2 input capacity suit?
The GL2400 handles mid-to-large productions: touring bands with full PA systems, festivals, conference broadcasts, and rental applications where 32 input channels are sufficient without digital complexity.
What does true dual FOH/monitor capability mean?
The GL2400 can simultaneously mix a front-of-house feed to main speakers and independent monitor mixes to band wedges and in-ear systems via separate routing. This is essential for touring live music where performers and engineers have distinct mixing needs.
How many auxiliary sends are available for monitoring?
The GL2400 provides 6 auxiliary sends, giving you plenty of independent mixes for monitor wedges, in-ear systems, and effects processing. This flexibility accommodates complex band and production setups.
What is a 7x4 matrix and when is it useful?
The 7x4 matrix mixes and routes signals flexibly between multiple destinations—useful for creating subgroup processing, splitting feeds to broadcast and recording, or managing complex venue configurations.
Is the GL2400 easy to setup and tear down for touring?
Yes, analogue consoles are renowned for quick setup with minimal cabling and no network configuration. The GL2400 fits portable flight cases and deploys rapidly at multiple venues without technical complexity.
