27 buss live sound VCA console
The ML5000 is a fitting flagship for our range, satisfying those loyal ALLEN&HEATH customers who wanted a console with the complete professional tool set.
We 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.
NEW: There is now a 'B' Option available with first 4 mono channels to the right of the master section replaced with 4 stereo channels
he ML5000 ships with mains leads, dust cover, user guide, A&H stickers
