Question about Allen & Heath merit.

[Bucky]

We bought a GL2400-24 and i was wondering what everyone out there thought of this type of board, also i have been have trouble getting everything to sound right with the rest of our setup we have a DBX driverack 260 signal processing, A QUC ISA-280 Amp for our fills, and a QSC ISA-750 amp for the mains, For fill speakers we have QSC AD-S82's, and EV T52's(which are like 20 years old i think and are the oldest part of the system) and our sound snake is a 10CH. w/ 2 returns

and SOund is not my main area Lighting is so i dont know if i said everything right or not

[soundlight]

From all reports that I've heard, it's an excellent board. I've used the GL2800-40ch in a festival mix situation, and it's a very nice board, had no problems with it. Allen & Heath is one of the most respected manufacturers of upper-midrange boards in the industry. About on par with Soundcraft, IMO.

I was hoping someone would say that because went spent like 3K on it i just cant figure out the Matrix on it yet

[soundlight]

Oh, matrices are fun. Read the manual, try to figure out how A&H has set this one up. I can't remember very well. Basically, adjust the knobs for each submix that is labeled in a matrix until you have as much as you want of each submix (aux, group, main LR or LCR or mono mix), and then adjust the matrix master to suit.

i dont know mabey its the whole Mixer within a mixer thing thats got me confused like i said i dislike sound but the sad thing is i still know more about it then any other student in my school

[avkid]

There has to be at least some musicians in your school. Any gigging musician probably knows enough sound stuff to get by.

I've never used this particular mixer before A&H is generally rock solid and A&H boards show up on alot of riders for bands who arnt quite big enough to be requesting the Super high end boards (midas etc..).

I should kick myself for saying that.
Where are you located Bucky?
Maybe I could find you someone who could give you some pointers.
