GL2800 is equipped with 10 auxiliary sends – including a dedicated stereo aux – and using the 12×4 matrix, provides an ideal solution for IEM and stereo recording. 8 audio groups and L,R and M busses are also provided, allowing for full dual functionality with 10 mixes with faders, inserts and XLR drive. At the heart of this design is a new gain structure allowing a whopping 34dBu maximum input capability and a new ultra-quiet mix head amp section, delivering excellent audio performance.
