Glensound GS-1U-040 5x 4‑Channel Line Mixers

The Glensound GS-1U-040 5 x 4-channel line mixers is a 1U 19″ rack unit providing five independent 4-input line mixers for compact, flexible broadcast audio routing and utility mixing.

Product overview

The Glensound GS-1U-040 is a 1U 19″ rackmount multi-channel line mixer that provides five completely independent 4-channel mixers in a single compact chassis. It is intended for broadcast facilities that require reliable, space-efficient level control for multiple programme, utility and talkback feeds.

Key features

  • Five separate 4-channel line mixers in a 1U 19″ rack unit
  • Individual level controls on each input for precise mix balancing
  • Dedicated mix output per section for straightforward system integration
  • Electronically balanced line-level analogue inputs and outputs
  • Broadcast-grade build quality for 24/7 operation in critical paths
  • Compact depth for easy installation in crowded racks and OB vehicles
  • Clear front-panel layout for rapid setup and fault finding
  • Designed to complement other Glensound utility and routing products

Connectivity and I/O

Each of the five mixer sections provides four line-level inputs on the rear panel with a corresponding mixed output, allowing the Glensound GS-1U-040 to handle multiple independent stems or utility feeds in one chassis. The electronically balanced I/O is optimised for integration with professional routers, audio interfaces and audio mixers, ensuring predictable levels and noise performance. In typical installations it sits within your wider rack layout to provide localised level control and submixing.

In operation

In daily use the Glensound GS-1U-040 offers straightforward hands-on control for engineers who need to manage several small mixes without dedicating full console channels. Each section can be set up as a fixed utility mix, a dedicated talkback feed or a small programme submix, with adjustments made quickly from the front panel. Within plants that standardise on Glensound infrastructure, the GS-1U-040 integrates naturally with other devices from the Glensound broadcast audio range, helping to build scalable and resilient signal paths.
