GL3800 User Guide

Installing the Console

The GL3800 has a robust, all metal chassis design. It is convenient both for fixed

installation and flight casing. The control surface has a 10 degree slope for optimum
visibility during operation. The rear connector panel is recessed and angled for ease of
plugging and unplugging the connectors.

Free Standing

The console has rubber feet fitted for free standing operation on a flat

surface. Make sure the surface is well supported, stable and big enough for the console to
sit securely on all its feet. Allow enough space behind the console for access to its
connectors.

Flight Casing

The console is shaped for easy flight casing. Make sure it is supported

on all sides and along the rear extruded beam using suitably thick, shock absorbent foam
intended for this purpose. Ensure no part of the case or its lid touches the controls or
connectors. If you include a rear ‘doghouse’ to house the connections make sure the
cables can be supported in a way that prevents putting stress on the console connectors.
To prevent transit damage through inadequate protection, we recommend you have the
flight case supplied or approved by a professional, specialist equipment case manufacturer.

Do not obstruct the heatsinks or ventilation openings on the power unit. Ensure
adequate air flow around its surfaces. To avoid audible hum, buzz or other
performance degradation, do not place equipment that radiates strong
electromagnetic fields such as the console power unit, other mains power supplies,
amplifiers and computers next to or directly underneath the console.
