10 GL2400 User Guide
Installing the Console
The GL2400 has a space saving, compact chassis design. This is convenient both in
saving seats for the paying audience in a busy venue, and in reducing the size, complexity
and weight of flight casing for on-the-road use. The control surface has a 10 degree slope
for optimum visibility during operation. The rear connector panel has a split angle design
for ease of plugging and unplugging the connectors.
Free Standing The console has rubber feet fitted for free standing operation on a flat
surface. Make sure the surface is well supported, stable and big enough for the console to
sit securely on all its feet. Allow enough space behind the console for access to its
connectors.
Flight Casing The console is shaped for easy flight casing. Make sure it is supported
on all sides using suitably thick, shock absorbent foam intended for this purpose. Ensure
no part of the case or its lid touches the controls or connectors. If you include a rear
‘doghouse’ to house the connections make sure the cables can be supported in a way that
prevents putting stress on the console connectors. To prevent transit damage through
inadequate protection, we recommend you have the flight case supplied or approved by a
professional, specialist equipment case manufacturer.
Do not obstruct the ventilation openings on the top and rear surfaces. Ensure
adequate air flow around these surfaces. To avoid audible hum, buzz or other
performance degradation, do not place equipment that radiates strong
electromagnetic fields such as mains power supplies, amplifiers and computers next
to or directly underneath the console.

- The mono input channel 16
- A 4 led channel meter displays the pre fader signal level sig lights when a signal level of 12dbu is detected 0 lights when the nominal 0dbu level is reached and 6 at 6dbu pk lights when the channel pre fade signal is within 5db of clipping this gives you enough warning to reduce gain before you hear signal distortion 17
- A high quality 100mm smooth travel fader with protective dust cover controls the channel level feeding the main lr mix groups and post fade aux sends it also affects the direct output if this has been set to post fade using the internal option jumpers the fader provides 10db maximum boost above its normal unity gain 0db position 17
- Aux send 17
- Gl2400 user guide 17 17
- Positions the channel signal between l r in the stereo mix and odd even if routed to the groups the centre position mono image is detented for quick resetting 17
- Pre fade aux sends are not affected by the channel fader movements these are typically used to feed stage monitors in most cases users also prefer that the monitor sends are not affected by inserted processors or the channel eq post fade aux sends follow the channel faders and are typically used to send a proportion of the channel signal to an effects device such as reverb or delay note that post fade sends may be preferred when the console is configured in monitor mode so that the faders become masters for all monitor mixes pre or post fade sends may also be used for special applications such as recording zone feeds clean feeds and aux fed subs or centre speaker 17
- Press l r to route the channel signal to the main lr mix press 1 2 or 3 4 to route to the groups use pan to position the signal between l r or the odd even group pairs to route to a single group set pan fully to one side you can route to l r and all groups simultaneously by pressing all switches check that you have set these switches correctly before you start mixing 17
- Press pfl to listen to the pre fade channel signal in the headphones and local monitor without affecting the main outputs the console pfl afl active red indicator lights and the monitor lr meters display the channel signal the pfl switch yellow indicator lights to show that pfl has been selected on that channel selecting more than one pfl at the same time mixes those signals together in the monitor 17
- Routin 17
- These rotary controls adjust how much channel signal is mixed to the aux outputs each of the 6 auxes has its own control they adjusts from fully off to 6db boost unity gain 0db is marked at 3 o clock position auxes 1 4 5 6 are switched pre post the settings may be changed if preferred by repositioning internal jumper link options they offer several different combinations of pre and post fade sends and a post eq option for the pre fade sends more detail is provided in options later in this guide 17
- When pressed the channel signal is turned off this affects the feed to the lr mix pre and post fade aux sends and direct output but does not affect the insert send the red indicator lights when the channel is muted always mute the channel when switching phantom power or plugging the cables and sources 17
- When pressed the pre fade channel signal is sent to the associated auxes when released the post fade signal is sent auxes 1 to 4 and 5 6 are grouped for pre post switching default setting is pre insert pre eq so that inserted compressors and eq do not affect the sends when mixing monitors from foh you can change this by repositioning the internal option jumpers 17

- Because a console provides an l and r output does not mean you have to mix in stereo it is often convenient to have separate fader control processor inserts and outputs to drive two mono speaker stacks in an foh system how much stereo you introduce into your mix depends on where you position the pan controls in most situations the size of the room and position of the speakers makes stereo mixing an advantage only for a small section of the audience usually those around the sound operator those listening near the speakers are likely to lose information from the opposite stack for this reason it is best to mix most sources in mono pan centred however it can enhance the image by mixing some ambient sounds in stereo for example reverb returns keyboards and special effects where the speakers are widely placed you can reduce the stereo image by reducing the amount of panning to each side whatever image you create it is important that you listen to the results and consider the listeners at al 26
- Before starting the sound check it is good practice to zero the console by setting all its controls to a sensible starting condition set all gain eq and pan controls mid fader aux and matrix controls off talkback and osc noise levels off and all switches up make sure the osc noise generator is turned off cue sheets are provided at the rear of this user guide for you to copy and log your control settings these can also be downloaded from our web site 26

- Power up the system in plenty of time before you start the sound check or show 26
- Refers to the positive and negative wires of a loudspeaker or balanced audio connection the console input channels include polarity switches which reverse the and input connections some applications include correcting for reverse wired cables correcting for microphone placement problems mixing two mics on a snare drum one above the other below where the diaphragms move in opposite directions and helping to reduce comb filtering effects as radio miked actors perform close to each other polarity is sometimes labelled phase on mixing consoles technically phase is not the correct term as it implies a 180 degree time shift polarity simply reverses the wires it does not affect time before starting your mixing check that all the channel polarity switches are correctly set normally up 26
- Sound level 26
- The ear is a delicate instrument do not subject yourself or any listener to long periods of loud sound particularly with extreme equalisation this may result in frequency selective or full range hearing loss adhere to the sound level regulations which may apply to the venue and common sense 26
