Allen & Heath GLD console – Hands-On Review

On the back of the console, it has 4 XLR inputs as well as 4 RCA inputs.  There are a variety of outputs on the back of the console which include 4 XLR jacks, 2 RCA, S/PDIF as well as AES.  That’s quite impressive for a console as small as the GLD and should allow the user to easily connect to any speakers or system processor while still having some extra outputs for a CD/Flash recorder, and even that annoying guy that always asks for an audio feed for his video camera at the last possible second.

An INCREDIBLE feature of this console is the I/O module slot that is compatible with all of the small cards that Allen & Heath already makes.  For me, that means Dante which I’m a huge fan of already and the fact that I can have it on my GLD, is basically audio bliss.  So cool!  But, it also means cross compatibility with the iLive if you use an ACE card or and Ethersound card if you’re running an older iLive system.

The Stage Rack

The GLD AR2412 stage rack is also extremely light weight and could be easily mounted in a small SKB case.  It features 24 inputs and 12 outputs which should give you quite a bit of flexibility to start with on a small format console like this.
