The GL4000 is the front end of the studio's audio set up, connected to a Nuendo media production software suite via 4 RME ADI-8 audio converters. The desk manages all recording, and can sometimes be used for up to five different projects a day.
"We selected the GL4000 for the studio because we had previously used a GL2200 for a live event and were totally sold on Allen & Heath's sound and build quality," comments studio director, John Clark. "The desk is as solid as a rock. We rely on our equipment in order to service our clients from around the world, and every morning when we come into the studio to start the day's work, we know the desk will not give us a problem. Our favourite feature is probably the switchable 10th aux that can be used as a rotary for the direct out level."
"Furthermore, I know it may only be a small matter, but when we decided to re-arrange our desk and wanted to change the colour of some of our fader caps, all it took was a call to the tech support guys and the replacement parts arrived the next day. I guess if you treat your customers right, they come back time and time again!" Clark concludes.
