The Gainlab Audio Lieutenant (model GLA‑MC1) is a premium monitor controller and studio command station engineered to be the heart of your studio setup. Crafted for musicians, producers, and sound engineers, this device offers precision control over audio sources and power flow, ensuring both creative flexibility and technical reliability.
Built around a robust relay-based volume control, the Gainlab Audio Lieutenant lets you effortlessly toggle through four stereo input sources, two balanced analogue, one digital S/PDIF, and one Bluetooth 5.4, while directing them to three stereo destination outputs. Its powerful routing capabilities are complemented by volume trim functionality, so switching between monitor pairs remains seamless and consistent.
Beyond audio routing, the Gainlab Audio Lieutenant boasts an integrated power sequencer managing three independent power zones. You can programme the unit to power up your computer and interface first, followed by speakers, while controlling your outboard gear manually. Shut-down operates in reverse order, safeguarding gear and maintaining systematic workflow.
Supplementary features of the Gainlab Audio Lieutenant include a dedicated Cue loop with a headphone output, a talkback microphone system for studio communication, a master headphone output, output pad and mute buttons, and Focus filters (low, mid, high) to scrutinise specific frequency bands. Ideal for studio monitoring, source selection, power sequencing, and talkback applications.
