[Musikmesse] ZED-10 to Feature Amplitube

Effective from April 2010, Allen & Heath will ship the new ZED models with a full version of Amplitube X-Gear, the first modular, customisable and expandable amp and FX modelling software system, which can operate as a plug-in or a stand-alone application.


The software is a companion for the ZED-10 and ZED-10FX models, which feature two low impedance 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 combos or amplifiers, according to the company.

The ZED-10 and ZED-10FX are compact mixers with capacity for up to 4 microphones and 2 stereo sources, separate 2-track record outputs, a stereo playback input, 3-Band EQ, 2 aux sends for monitors and FX, separate stereo bus, as well as monitoring and DI level switching. Additionally, the ZED-10FX has a built-in FX processor with TAP tempo delay settings and a 24 bit/48kHz conversion rate, using a bank of digital effects algorithms derived from Allen & Heath’s pro touring digital mixing system.
