[Musikmesse] Allen & Heath ZED-10FX

Part of the ZED range of USB-equipped mixers for live performance, recording and production, the new additions feature two high impedance discrete Class A FET (Field Effect Transistor) inputs, which are designed to allow an instrument to be plugged directly into the mixer.

There is also a 26dB gain boost switch, which caters for instruments with very low output pickups.

The ZED-10 and 10FX can also manage up to four microphones and two stereo sources with MP3 player compatibility, provide separate 2-track record outputs and a stereo playback input for 2-track replay or interval music from a CD player, XLR main stereo outputs with inserts, monitoring with headphones and separate monitor speaker outputs, 48V microphone phantom power, and DI level switching for sub mixing. There is also a USB send and return for PC or Mac recording, playback and effects.

In addition, the ZED-10FX has a built-in FX processor with TAP tempo delay settings and a 24 bit/48kHz conversion rate. The ZED-10FX uses digital effects algorithms derived from Allen & Heath’s pro touring digital mixing system, ranging from reverbs and cascaded delay plus reverbs to flanger and chorus effects.
