ALLEN & HEATH EXPANDS INSTALLATION RANGE WITH NEW GR2
Agoura Hills, CA (September 12, 2005) -- Allen & Heath will unveil a new
addition to its installation product range at the 119th AES Convention
(booth #237) the GR2 1U rack or desk mount 9-input, 4-output analogue zone
mixer. With 6 mic and 3 stereo line inputs, two zone outputs (1 stereo, 1
mono), and a mono aux output, the GR2, launched at PLASA 2005, is designed
for installations in the live entertainment and conference AV sectors.
The GR2 is uniquely flexible, allowing all settings to be configured from
the front panel preset switches and trimmers. Installers can easily
configure key functions such as paging facilities, 3-band mic EQ including
HPF, 2-band stereo output EQ, and auxiliary output with LPF option for
sub-bass, for example. Once configured, these controls are blanked off by a cover plate and, if
required, user controls can be hidden with tamperproof plugs to keep things
simple for non-technical operators. Day-to-day functions such as source
selection and volume can be controlled on the front panel, or via several
remote control options using standard Cat5 cables.
"No two installation projects are ever the same, and even small
installations can have complications, such as interfacing to third party
alarm and media control systems, or requiring distributed wall plate
control," comments MD, Glenn Rogers. "Allen & Heath has drawn on years of
experience in this market to give the GR2 a unique flexibility, providing
the installer with a host of options and the user with a simple, uncluttered
interface."
The GR2 features a combination of XLR, RCA, and screw terminal connectors
for pre-wired installation, and to expand capacity by linking another GR2
unit. 2 RJ45 sockets provide connections for remote mic priority, mute
switching, page selection and alarm override.
Remote control capability is available via potentiometer/rotary switch wall
plates, third party systems such as AMX, or Allen & Heath's PL-12 wall plate
and optional IR PL-5 hand-held remote.
