Dual Functionality
A great show requires great performers and a great sound system working together.
The sound must be perfect for the audience and the performers. The tools are here;
a dual function console that effortlessly combines both FOH and Monitor functions.
As a FOH console, the GL3300 has up to 40 channels in a single frame -
of which up to 8 can be stereo dual mic inputs - 8 groups, 8 aux sends, Left, Right,
Mono sum, and matrix outputs.

Monitor
As a Monitor console, the GL3300 provides the same input capability,
but with 8 independently controllable mixes and a stereo stage mix.
Every monitor output has balanced XLR connector, insert point, 100mm fader,
metering, AFL and talkback. And to keep the engineer in control, the Mono output
supplies the engineer’s wedge with AFL overridden by PFL. The true flexibility of
the system can be realised in Dual Mode, where both FOH and Monitor duties
can be handled from the same console for those occasions when a single engineer
is required to serve both the audience and the performers.

Stereo Inputs
The demand for more input channels these days seems never ending. To give
you maximum flexibility, as well as the two Stereo Returns in the master section,
several configurations with stereo input channels are available. The stereo channels
have mic and line capability as well as 4 band EQ and access to all busses.
The dual preamps, with mono select switches for left and right, help deal with those
unexpected input demands and make running sound effects from a single track
of a stereo tape easy, without the need for any external patching.

Mute Groups
Mute groups help provide that ‘extra pair of hands’ when a lot of changes are required
simultaneously. The system can be used to quickly mute multiple channels.
The input channels can be assigned to any combination of the 4 mute groups using
the assignment switches on the channel. The mute group master buttons are located
beside the main mix faders and allow a group of inputs to be muted or un-muted by a single
button press.

Matrix
To help manage the ever increasing demands for different output mixes for FX, zone
and delay speakers, additional monitor mixes, recording, video and broadcast, etc.,
the GL3300 has two matrix outputs, ‘A’, and ‘B’, each of which can be fed from the 8 groups,
left, right, and the stereo returns. They feature 60mm faders with AFL for precise control
of these important outputs.

Sound Quality
Crystal clear sound under tight control with the transparent mic preamp and precise
‘British’ EQ provides the ideal ingredients for any sound system. The direct outputs from
each channel combine with the groups to ensure this console is equally at home in the recording studio
