 Allen
& Heath ML5000 Series
27 buss live sound VCA console
Frames Available
32+4, 40+4, 48+4, plus up to 2 optional 24 input sidecars.
The ML5000-B option equips the console with an additional 4 dual stereo
channels at the far right of the console in the place of the last 4 mono
channels.
The ML5000 is a fitting flagship for their range, satisfying those loyal
Allen & Heath customers who wanted a console with the complete professional
tool set.
They really set out to change the rules for VCA desks with this console,
forever raising the pro audio industry's price / performance expectations.
From its enhanced P/AFL facilities to its sidecar and dual power supply
options, ML5000 is clearly capable of competing for touring work against
old-style large format desks costing far, far more.
