AR84 plugged into the GLD Mixer:
Inputs
33-40

Input sockets 8 balanced XLR inputs for
microphone and line level sources. The preamps
are built into the AR84 rack and their Gain, Pad
and 48V phantom power is remote controlled
from the GLD console via the EXPANDER link.
The output of the analogue preamps are
converted to digital format and transported via a
Cat5 cable to be processed and mixed at the
GLD mixer.
Any input can be patched to any channel using
the
I/O
or
Preamp
screens.
The sockets are not numbered. This is because
the number depends on where the AR84 is
plugged into the GLD system. Write-on blocks
are provided for you to label the sockets.
Output sockets 4 balanced XLR outputs
operating at nominal +4dBu line level. Any GLD
signal can be patched to any socket using the

I/O
screen. The default Template Shows
provide a logical mapping of these sockets to get
you started.
