Allen & Heath GL2400 424 24-Channel Audio Mixer Console - $450 (Baltimore)
QR Code Link to This Post
It's also a great option for a home studio - it's got 24 preamps with phantom power (even on the stereo channels). All of the mono inputs have both mic & line inputs plus direct outs and insert points, so it's well-situated to work as a split recording console, with record channels on one side and playback on the other. And analog mixers == zero-latency headphone monitoring.
Phantom power, HPF, and the EQ sections can each be disabled per channel. The 6 aux outputs are all switchable, per channel between pre-fader and post-fader. They're grouped in such a way that you switch Aux 1-4 together, and Aux 5-6 together.
There are also 4 subgroups with discrete outputs, 4 matrix outputs, and a fader-flip mode for the bus outputs that's kinda useful if you're using this as a monitor desk.
I can't test the lamp outputs or the auxiliary psu input, so I have no idea if they work. Otherwise, I've gone through the entire console - every switch, knob, fader, button, etc. It all works great. I didn't even find any scratchy pots or switches, which is kinda nuts. That's probably partly due to the fact that it came from a federal government installation, so it wasn't sprayed with beer every night.
There are some minor cosmetic issues - a couple of the knobs are a bit crooked, there's a single line input jack that's got a crack in it, and that board tape has probably been on there since the Clinton administration, so I don't imagine that's ever coming off. But in spite of that, everything on it works really, really well.
For delivery, you're gonna have to come get it, because I'm lazy and have other stuff to do. Pickup is available in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore, MD. It's small enough that one person can carry it and easily fit in in the back seat, or even the front if all you have is a sports car. I can have it hooked up if you want to take a quick run through it.
I accept cash, Paypal, and Venmo. Only.
It is being sold as-is. Returns are not accepted.
