AR84 is an Expander AudioRack for the GLD digital mixing
system.
Each AR84 adds 8 XLR inputs and 4 XLR outputs to a GLD
system. Up to two AR84s can be added to a GLD system, connected to an AR2412
AudioRack and / or direct to the GLD-80 mixer. Connection is over Cat5 cable
running Allen & Heath’s dSNAKE protocol, allowing the AR2412 to be
positioned up to 120m from the GLD-80 or GLD-112 mixer. dSNAKE provides control
to the remote preamp, and all mic preamps are scene recallable.
AR84 is now available in a choice of black or purple
livery. Black models feature locking XLRs.
The AR84 is an expander audio interface rack for the
Allen & Heath GLD and Qu digital mixing systems. It provides 8 remote controlled mic/line preamps
and 4 XLR line outputs. Up to two AR84 AudioRacks can be added to a GLD system. The AR84 can
connect directly to the mixer or to the AR2412 AudioRack to expand the number of system inputs
and outputs. The AR84 is simply an audio interface. It cannot be used
by itself. It must connect to the GLD or Qu mixer which is where the audio is processed.
The AR84 is not compatible with Allen & Heath iLive
Series components or ACE connection.
Refer to the GLD User Guide AP8561 and Qu User Guide
AP9372 for instructions on connecting and using the AR84 with your system. Refer to the Allen
& Heath web site for more information and suitable Cat5 cables. The
