Passes the XLR input through to an XLR output to split the signal to another console such as FOH or recording. This is a passive split. The GL2800 M does not need to be turned on GL2800M GL2800 GL2800 GAIN for the split to work.
The 16 Channel Mix Sends The GL28 M features 16 mixes (aux sends). These are used for GL28 GL2800 GL28 combinations of stage wedge and in-ear monitor sends. The controls are colour coded in pairs to quickly identify each mix. The mixes may be configured as mono or stereo, and pre or post the channel trim STEREO fader according to your requirement.
The Mix Master OUTPUT EQ (MIX 1-8 only) 2 band swept frequency peak/dip EQ with in/out switch. Use this to adjust the overall sound of the mix, for example to satisfy the preference of a performer using in-ears, or to notch out wedge speaker feedback when an outboard EQ is not available.
The Engineer’s Monitor System The GL28 M provides three independent engineer’s monitor outputs. By setting GL28 GL28 GL2800 configuration switches the engineer can listen to each mix the way the performer hears it. MONO WEDGE OUTPUT To feed a wedge ENGINEERS EQ speaker monitor placed next to the console.
The Engineer’s Toolbox The GL28 M provides a comprehensive combination of facilities GL28 GL28 GL2800 to help the monitor engineer set up and keep control of the multiple PHONES wedge/in-ear stage environment.
