and placed on a hard surface or rack-mounted
in a standard 19” profile.
You will need the following items;
T10 Torx screwdriver
Small flat blade screwdriver
Hex Screwdriver
Rack ears (supplied)
4 x M3 Torx screws (supplied)
4 x M6 Screws
To rack-mount the unit follow the below
procedure;

Setting up GR3
7.1 Operating Features
The GR3 is a feature rich analogue zone mixer.
Multiple configurations are possible by means
of internal jumpers, external dip switches and
also via digital programmable pre-sets.
The below gives an overview of the various
Modes that the GR3 enters when signal is
sensed on various input connectors.
Primary Mic Mode: When audio sensed on
Mic 1 channel and/or PAGE contact closure is
sensed then music is faded to pre-set level
and Mic 2 muted for the duration of the
announcement. Mic 1 zone select LEDs flash
slowly when in primary mic mode.
Secondary Mic Mode: When audio is sensed
on Mic 2, then music is faded to pre-set level
for the duration of the announcement. Mic 2
zone select LEDs flash slowly when in
secondary mic mode.
Emergency Mic Mode: When ALARM contact
is activated all zone feeds are muted and Mic
1 is fed direct to all zones. All select LEDs
except Mic 1 LED are switched off for the
duration. Mic 1 LED will flash quickly.
Juke Box Mode: Is a priority Music feed.
When in Jukebox mode and audio is sensed
on ST2 the current music feed will ‘duck’* to
the pre-set level. If ST2 is silent for the pre-set
period, the previous Music selection will
resume. Mic volume is not affected by
Jukebox priority.
*Pre-set levels for the above modes are
achieved via a side-chain compressor or
‘ducker’. A ducker is dynamic control of Input
x by input y which has a higher priority. If audio
is detected at Input y then Input x will be
‘Ducked’ by a predetermined level which can
be set by the user (see Table 1 6.4 for user
definable parameters). In addition to the
amount of attenuation is applied to the
‘Ducked’ signal the user can also control the
hold time and release time of the compressor
to suit the application.

7.4 Programming Parameters
The GR3 has a total of 7 parameters (shown in Table 1) which are configurable by the
installer/user.
Each parameter has four pre-defined values which can be stepped through and set as required.
Changing a Parameter Step by Step Guide
To enter Programming Mode;
1. Press and hold Z1 Mic & Music “SEL” switches whilst powering on
the GR3
2. Power LED will flash continuously whilst in Programming Mode.
Changing a parameter;
1. Use Z2 Mic & Music “SEL” switches to toggle through the parameter
to change as shown in Table 1 (Note LED sequence).
2. Use Z1 Mic & Music “SEL” switches to toggle through the value
required as shown in Table 1.
3. The new parameter value is stored automatically. The parameter LED will flash
quickly during the save procedure.
Exit Programming Mode;
1. Power cycle the unit to return to normal operation, LED will remain solid

FAQ
Q: What are the main differences
between the GR3 and GR2?
A: The GR3 has an additional stereo zone
output. Each microphone input has individual
tone control. Additional connectors have been
added to the front panel in the form of an XLR
Mic input for priority announcements. The
ability to control the mix of mic and music
sources on zone outputs 1 & 2.
Q: My audio sources keep fading in and
out?
A: It is likely that one or more dip switches
have been set to the “ON” position. The GR3
has various “MODES” that allow priority
control of the incoming signals.
Primary Mic Mode (Dip Switch A). This
will automatically mute mic 2 and fade
the music sources to a pre-defined
level.
Secondary Mic Mode (Dip Switch B).
This will automatically fade the music
sources to a pre-defined level.
Jukebox Mode (Dip Switch C & D).
This will fade down the music on all
stereo inputs except for ST2 which is
set as the Jukebox priority input.

Q: Can I control the unit over a standard
network?
A: No, the rear RJ45 port is for use with Zone
remote panels only and is not intended for
connection to a network switch.
Q: How do I control the unit remotely?
A: Remote control can be achieved by either
using the optional Allen & Heath PL-14
controller or via custom wired control. The
“ZONE REMOTE” RJ45 port on the rear of the
unit will accept up to two PL-14’s which are
connected in a ‘daisy-chain’ configuration. An
optional PL-5 remote is also available for
Infrared control of the PL-14. Alternatively a
custom or 3rd party 0-10v controller can be
wired to the “REMOTE Z1” and/or “REMOTE
Z2” connectors on the rear of the unit.
Q: I want to change some of the
processors software parameters?
A: These options can be accessed by holding
down Z1 select buttons whilst powering the
unit.
Mic ducking attenuation, hold and
release speeds.
Music cross fade speed.
Juke box attack, hold and release
speed.
