The GL2800M adds a fully-featured yet affordable dedicated monitor console to the popular GL Series live sound range. It is compact, easy to use, offers the best of analog reliability and sound, and has a capability that rivals that of much bigger and more expensive consoles.

Mechanically similar to the GL2800 with individual card and nutted pot construction and small footprint, the GL2800M is available in 24-, 32-, and 40-channel frame sizes. It presents the monitor engineer with a compact, easy-to-use desk capable of mixing a large number of wedge and in-ear sources, the company says. Its 16 mixes can be globally assigned as mono or stereo, and each stereo mix provides level and pan control as well as stereo AFL signal checking. Mixes may be configured as 'wedge' or 'IEM' so that AFL automatically routes to the engineer's speaker or in-ears as appropriate. There are many other benefits, including using external inputs for the house engineer to talk directly to the monitor listen wedge or in-ears, dialling in the swept HPF on each mix to cut unwanted low end and improve amplifier efficiency, using the master polarity switching and EQ to clean up the overall stage sound, hitting the dim buttons to quickly catch problem feedback, and plugging the ear piece directly into the console's headphones socket.
