Introduction

GLD is an affordable live sound digital audio mixing system from Allen & Heath. At its low price point and

with its intuitive user interface and ‘plug n play’ connection it provides the perfect upgrade for users of

analogue mixers such as the Allen & Heath GL Series, and for small to mid-sized venues, tours and rental

companies looking for an affordable yet fully featured and configurable professional digital solution that is

easy to learn, operate and maintain.

GLD components

The heart of the system is the GLD-80 Mixer. The DSP is located in the mixer and can process 48

channels x 30 buses x 20 mix outputs plus 8 ‘RackFX’ internal effects devices with dedicated return

channels bringing the total number of sources able to feed the mix to 56. The rear panel provides

connections for 8 inputs and 10 outputs plus an option slot to fit one of several audio networking cards

available from Allen & Heath.

Adding one or more of the available AudioRacks lets you configure systems with up to 40 remote mic

inputs in addition to the mixer rear connections. This gives you a distributed audio system with convenient

CAT5 digital snake based on the proprietary Allen & Heath dSNAKE protocol. The main I/O (Input/Output)

rack is the GLD-AR2412 AudioRack providing 24 mic/line inputs and 12 line outputs. It also features a

MONITOR port compatible with the Allen & Heath ME and Aviom

personal mixing systems. The GLD-

AR84 AudioRack is an expander I/O remote rack adding an extra 8 mic/line inputs and 4 line outputs.

You can add up to two GLD-AR84 racks, one at the GLD-AR2412, the other at the GLD-80 mixer.

Compatibility with iLive

GLD is not compatible with iLive components, firmware, Libraries or Show files. However, it is compatible

with the range of iLive Port B option cards letting you interface easily between GLD and iLive or other

systems using a digital snake such as ACE, MADI, EtherSound or Dante.
