see website Allen & Heath

AR2412 rack with 24 mic / line inputs + 12 outputs configurable as desired (on stage)

config my most used: 24/6 ST 1/2 +1 USB 4 matrix on record surface effects and to host an LA-EQ AUDIO EQ231G insert in hand

UTILIZATION

grip in minutes for the basic functions
the rest depends on prior knowledge of the user
reflex that m 'was the longest to digest what is the use of' blue buttons' regulars will understand me! I mean do not forget to go main mix!

SOUNDS

I used a lot of ML and GL, it is a digital GL but the sound is much better than the GL!
the built-in effects sound great, the constant-Q equalizers are against a little 'soft', however the v1.2 firmware offer a fine selection of additional eq I have not tried
for this price range, sound quality, access to parameters and their efficiency and versatility are extraordinary

OVERALL OPINION

I just celebrated the first year of use and I'm in love!
only two freezes (during the same concert) and here a full year, and yet, it seems that the problem was a questionable USB key
I just go to firmware 1.2 and the same opportunity to add an ipad wifi I use to return, simply walk the musicos not want here once they have tasted it!
the value is not currently equal to my knowledge and if gld still hard to win against the aging LS9 is mainly due to the age of the yam and the reluctance of ingésons to novelty (c is like the SM58)
the choice again? her big sister gld-112 just came out and I think I'll pass too!
