The GL2800M is a brand new dedicated monitor console packed with innovative features. Using the best Allen & Heath analogue technology it offers great sound and reliability with an intuitive, walk-up-and-go layout in a space saving, ruggedly built chassis.
Top end monitor mix capability is now accessible to the budget conscious sound provider. The popular GL Series has grown with the addition of the GL2800M, a dedicated monitor console offering an easy to use, innovative tool set for simultaneously mixing large numbers of wedges and in-ears. With the benefits of personal freedom, a tailored mix for each musician and a quiet stage, IEM monitor systems have become increasingly popular with performers and engineers alike. Although IEM has become a lot more affordable, the console required to run them properly is typically too large, complex or expensive for all but the biggest budgets. Meet the GL2800M… affordable, capable and easy to use—without compromise, exactly right for the job.
With its 16 mixes and true stereo IEM capability, the GL2800M is able to handle many combinations of wedge and in-ears, and even includes a built-in mic splitter. The engineer is provided with dual listen wedge/IEM monitoring as well as a host of useful tools for setting up the system.
