Introduction
Introduction
In Standard mode, the GLC-1 allows a teacher to monitor and communicate with up to eight students in stereo via nine supplied GLC-SB interface boxes and headsets—the system’s expandable to 48 students in stereo with optional GLC-EXPKIT expansion kits. In addition, any student may be assigned to one of four practice groups (i.e. Group A, B, C, or D) for ensemble practice, performance, and communication. The result is a flexible music conferencing system that’s fully expandable.
The GLC-1 can also operate in Split mode, allowing a teacher to communicate with up to 16 students in mono via nine supplied GLC-SB interface boxes and headsets by adding optional headsets as needed—or up to 48 students in mono with optional GLC-EXPKIT expansion kits and additional headsets. (Practice groups are not available in Split mode.)

1. [GROUPS A, B, C, D] Buttons
Establish two-way communication between the teacher and students in a selected group. When one of these buttons (i.e. [A], [B], [C], or [D]) is held down and student number buttons are engaged, the selected students can listen to, talk to, and play for, or along with, other students in the selected group. Once groups have been established, engaging one (or several) of these buttons allows the selected student group(s) to listen to, talk to, and play for, or with, the teacher. The [TEACHER MIC] button must be engaged to activate the teacher’s micro­phone. To clear all groups, press the [All] and [STUDENT MUTE] buttons simultaneously (p. 15).
