ZED-10 and ZED-10FX

Allen & Heath has unveiled its smallest format mixers to date, the ZED-10 and ZED-10FX. The additions are ultra compact mixers featuring two ultra-high-impedance discrete class-A FET (Field Effect Transistor) inputs, allowing an instrument to be plugged directly into the mixer, emulating the valve/tube input circuitry commonly found on instrument amplifiers. There is also a 26dB gain boost switch, which caters for instruments with very low output pickups.

The ZED-10 can also manage up to four microphones and two stereo sources with MP3 player compatibility, providing separate two-track record outputs and a stereo playback input for two-track replay or interval music from a CD player. Other features include XLR main stereo outputs with inserts, comprehensive monitoring with headphones and separate monitor speaker outputs, 48V microphone phantom power and DI level switching for sub mixing, in addition to a USB send and return for PC or Mac recording.

Equipped with a three-band swept-mid EQ on mono inputs and a two-band EQ on the stereo channels, the ZED-10 also boasts high-gain, low-noise preamps, two aux sends for monitors and FX and a  separately switched stereo bus for routing from any channel to create a selective recording bus, monitoring bus or stereo clean feed output. The ZED-10FX is also equipped with an integrated FX processor with TAP tempo delay settings and 48kHz, 24-bit conversion. The ZED-10FX uses digital effects algorithms, ranging from classic reverbs and cascaded delay plus reverbs and chorus effects.
