GL2400 User Guide
AUX SENDS
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.
Pre-fade aux sends are not affected by the channel fader movements.
These are typically used to feed stage monitors. In most cases users

processors or the channel EQ.

PFL
Press PFL to listen to the pre-fade channel signal in the

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.

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.
FADER
dust cover controls the channel level feeding the main LR mix, groups
