Anyone know where I can find description/specs on GL-3?

Thanks,
Steve

Channels 24 or 32 (maybe other configurations but its been awhile.)
4 bus with Master LR that can be selected as subs 5 and 6.

Each channel has-
mic/line level select
Polarity switching
input gain
channel insert
6 aux (2 pre/post group and 4 pre/post group)
4 band semi-parametric EQ low 70hz, two sweepable mids, and fixed high
PFL
Mute
Pan LR
100mm faders

In addition it has 2 track sends and returns, mono out (with level pot,) 4
stereo returns. PFL or AFL for just about everything. My only complaints
with this board are that the aux sends are unbalanced.

I work with two 32 channel boards on a regular basis and I just had all the
op-amps replaced and everything looked at by a tech. I don't know what the
S/N is, but mine are very quite.

Please let me know if you have any other questions about this board,

Not a good choice as a used board there were gain staging issues and power
supply problems with it and it's QC was below par.
very happy to see my GL3 go away

Thanks, I need a decent board for live work, nothing big (24ch) The
GL2200 has about all the features that I would need plus more. I'm
looking at the used market (is that even a good idea?) for a better
price. Should I just go ahead and bite the bullet and get a new GL2200?

Thanks,
Steve

The 2200 is a great product but for about 700$ less you can get all the same
features(essentially) plus a sweeter eq on the soundcraft Lx7 I just picked
one up and can recommend it as a equal to the A&H 2200

Good advice, I see the LX7 doesn't have phase or 48v switches on input
channels and the aux sends are unbalanced. Does the Spirit Live 4^2
figure in to this equation?

Thanks,
Steve

I can count on one hand and still hold a fatty all the times I have needed
phase reversal on a console in this range
global 48 v is very acceptable as your non-phantom mics will just ignore it.
the aux sends are electronically balanced on 1/4 inch trs connectors the
same as my K2
