Glensound GS‑1U042 Twin Ident 1U Subrack

The Glensound GS-1U042 twin ident 1U subrack is a compact 19″ unit providing two independent ident channels for clearly labelling and monitoring key broadcast lines.

Product overview

The Glensound GS-1U042 Twin Ident 1U Subrack is a dual-channel ident unit housed in a 1U 19″ chassis, designed to provide two separate identification points within a single compact frame. It is intended for broadcast installations where two key lines require clear, independent ident, such as main and backup programme paths, control circuits or critical returns.

Key features

  • Twin ident design providing two independent ident channels in a 1U 19″ subrack
  • Separate front-panel indication for each channel for clear status visibility
  • Balanced connectivity to integrate into professional audio or control paths
  • Compact depth suited to crowded studio and OB racks
  • Simple, clearly labelled front panel for operational use
  • Rugged construction for continuous 24/7 broadcast operation
  • Ideal for main and standby lines, control feeds or return circuits
  • Matches styling and layout of other Glensound 1U utility units

Connectivity and I/O

The GS-1U042 provides separate rear-panel balanced terminations for each ident channel, allowing both circuits to be wired cleanly in line with their respective paths. Professional connectors and a 1U format support neat integration into existing patchfields, router bays and OB racks, with each channel clearly separated for ease of tracing. It can be deployed alongside other broadcast audio interfaces and audio mixers wherever a pair of well-defined ident points is needed in the signal chain.

In operation

In daily use the Glensound GS-1U042 gives engineers and operators a straightforward way to maintain ident on two important lines, helping to differentiate main and backup feeds or distinct control paths. The dedicated front-panel indicators for each channel provide quick visual confirmation of status, while the fixed 1U rackmount format ensures the unit can be installed once and left in service. Within plants that standardise on the Glensound broadcast audio range, the GS-1U042 offers a neat twin ident solution that complements single and multi-channel ident and utility products.
