[QUOTE="Simon Coffin, post: 148819, member: 388"] Re: Allen & Heath GLD stage boxes question I've always preferred the stage boxes rack mounted and then use xlr drop boxes on stage to patch inputs. This setup works well if you are running monitors, or FOH with the inputs on stage. The GLD is obviously built with another style in mind. The AB168 is a pretty cool idea and could be very handy as a drum drop, but somehow having three different style of stage boxes looks haphazard to me. My need for neatness and order is rebelling..... A company in Norway, maybe Denmark can't remember exactly, makes a case for a GLD-80 with 2 side by side 2u rack mounts under the console. They show them used for drawers, but could be used for an AR84. That would be a cool setup. The GLD strikes me as such a great platform that could be so much better. Add another two or three dSnake ports, increase local IO to 8x8, add the hot swappable power supplies from the dLive series and develop an input gain sharing scheme and you would have a serious Midas Pro2 competitor.
