Allen & Heath GS-R24 Studio Recording Mixer

The Allen & Heath GS-R24 combines refined analogue quality with a choice of analogue or Firewire / ADAT interface modules and MIDI control for your chosen Digital Audio Workstation or recording device.

The GS-R24 is the culmination of many things: exceptional analogue design, super-flexible usability, control and integration with digital workstations, and with an easily removed interface card it can be future-proofed against fast-moving technology, helping it to gain the status of a true modern classic.

• 2 additional valve inputs
• 6 auxes
• 4 subgroups
• Main Stereo + Mono bus
• PFL, AFL + Solo in Place
• MIDI control
• 5.1 surround monitoring
• Integral meterbridge
• Separate linear power supply

Preamps

GS-R24 benefits from Allen & Heath’s ultimate pre-amp design to date. Wide bandwidth, super linear, extremely low noise and precisely controllable - the mono channel pre-amps are open, transparent and accurate.

Workflow

The GS-R24 adapts to the way you like to work. Routing switches for the interface allow the signal sent to the DAW to be sourced either directly from the pre-amp or taken from after the EQ and DAW return (or track return) buttons switch the signal from the DAW into the channel at either the pre-insert point or post EQ.

EQ

With its fully parametric mids, GS-R24’s EQ provides tremendous corrective and creative equalisation. The Q is continuously variable from 0.8 to 6 and the low mid sweep extends down to a super-low 18Hz for controlled band-pass equalisation at bass frequencies.

Valve channels

Two flexible valve channels are provided in addition to the mono and stereo input channels. They can be used as additional microphone pre-amps or with line level signals, or straight from a guitar or instrument pickup.

Monitoring

The input channels can be monitored either pre-fade, post fade in stereo, or solo-in-place.

Recording Interface

A 32 x 32 channel interface module enables easy integration with your DAW or of choice. The interface can be switched in and out of different points in the channel path allowing for different workflows from dry multi-tracking to mixdown, dubbing, processing effects or even using the GS-R24 circuitry as analogue plug-ins in your DAW.
