The Allen & Heath range of iPad apps has been extended with the release of the GLD digital mixing system controller – GLD Remote – providing a suite of mixing controls for remote wireless applications using iPad or iPad Mini.

GLD Remote connects to A&H’s GLD-80 mixer on a wireless network and gives access to the mixers channel faders and mutes, DCA faders and mutes, image controls, aux sends and assignments, as well as channel input and output processing, mic preamp control and full metering.

Where most apps offer limited control over the channel processing, GLD Remote gives control of high-pass filters, gates, parametric and graphic EQ, compressors and input/output delays.

Other unique features for system set-up include a real-time analyser (RTA) to ring out monitors and EQ the PA, the facility to name and colour channel strips, custom layers with dragand-drop strip set-up to suit any application, and a mix view where monitor engineers can see both master levels and contributions in a single screen. Additionally, GLD Remote provides channel PFL control to enable the engineer to remotely listen to feeds using a wireless monitor system.

‘GLD Remote unlocks comprehensive wireless control of processing and mixes resident in the GLD-80, ranging from monitor mix stage setup, venue roaming and PA tweaking, and secondary control applications for fixed installs,’ says R&D Director, Rob Clark. ‘During set up, engineers can walk around a venue and individually mute or apply level, processing and delay changes to the PA, and discreetly mix from anywhere in the venue during the show, whilst monitor engineers will appreciate being able to balance monitors from the musician’s position on the stage.’

GLD Remote will be available soon as a free download.
