Glensound GS-FW033 – Ten Channel 4 Wire Subrack with Integral Matrix Mixer Glensound

The GS-FW033 is a 2RU 19 inch subrack desigend to be the communication hub in small OB vans and studios. The GS-FW033 differs from many of Glensound’s other 4-wire units by including a talkback matrix mixer, this makes it a very powereful device capable of setting up complex IFB cicruits to each of 10 outputs.

Features:

• 10 Channel 4 wire Subrack
• Integral matrix mixer
• Fully programmable talkback keys
• Programmable talk to group key
• Illuminated talkback keys can be easily programmed to alter operation mode (latching, momentary, latching & momentary (intelligent lever key))
• Channel input & output gain controls
• IFB feeds mixes can be set up from any of the inputs to any of the outputs
• Front panel mic & loudspeaker
• External LS feed
• Front panel XLR for gooseneck mic
• Individual gain controls for both microphones
• Glensound ‘Referee’ compressor/ limiter circuits on mic amps
• Headphone Jack (cuts LS)
• Programme input
• Audio presence detectors on all inputs
• External loop inputs for remote control of talkback circuits & LS Dim & LS Cut
• External solid state relay loop outputs from individual talkback buttons & 1 global circuit
• 12V DC powered
• Optional mains input powering to replace 12V DC input
• Audio input/ outputs on standard 3 pin XLRs
• Matrix switches route a channels input to any of the 10 channel outputs
• 4 wire inputs can be looped to 4-wire outputs via Matrix (IFB)
• PGM input can be routed to 4 wire outputs
• PGM inputs & IFBs can be mixed or cut when talkback keys are operated
• Front panel switches for routing PGM & IFB & selecting mix/cut operation
• Balanced external LS output (0dB)
• Front panel LS/ Headphone volume control
• Transformer balanced inputs
• Highly reliable electronic ‘transformer’ balanced outputs

The unit also features Glensound’s new brightly illuminated talkback switches. These give a quick indication of the channels on state and can easily be programmed to operate in a latching, momentary or intelligent lever key mode. The use of these talkback switches also allows a fully programmable talk to group switch to be present, where by straighforward programming a group can easily be set up for the operator to talk to at the press of a single button.

Being initially designed for installation in OB vehicles the unit features a 12V DC input power supply. If requested a mains power supply can be fitted as an alternative to the 12V DC during manufacture.
