Value For Money :
Excellent
Non-rackmount console, 4 XLR / stereo and 2 (1 in jack / RCA jack and 1).
2 entries are Hi-Z to plug a guitar / bass directly with the jack in the table.
For each channel XLR, a gain, a 4-band equa (1 high, 2 mid, 1 low) with a switchable filter (100 Hz), mixer effects, AUX volume, panning, level (knob), a switch to send the track to record the output, another for the headphones.
2 RCA outputs (record and monitor) and XLR (main).
16 onboard effects (reverb, chorus, delay etc..) With a 48kHz 24-bit DSP. A TAP button is used to set the tempo for some effects.
A bi-directional USB to connect the console to a PC / Mac. No driver to install, it is recognized immediately in the sequencers.
UTILIZATION
The manual is in English, but the handling quite easy. We quickly understand routings accessible from the console.
I use the following config:
- XLR 1: Bass (EBS)
- XLR 2: vocal microphone
- XLR 3: guitar plugged directly into jack (Hi-Z)
- XLR 4: pedalboard
- Stereo 1: MP3 player
- Stereo 2: beatbox

SOUNDS
is very effective. I did not notice any significant blows. My use is mainly domestic, I play a lot with headphones (Beyerdynamic), if I go out on a pair of powered speakers public.
I'm not a pro sound, but I noticed that she really respects the dynamics of instruments.
OVERALL OPINION
I'm an amateur musician, and I was looking for a compact console, practical, robust and "Plug'n Play".
I have owned a Yamaha 12 channel, which I sold to buy it.
The ZED-10FX completely meets my expectations: small footprint, integrated power supply (no transformer portable), easy to use and especially one that respects its instruments.
Very good value for money for a good English!
