Allen & Heath proves that size doesn't compromise quality with their ZED-10 multi-purpose mixer, packing professional-grade features into their most compact console yet. This USB-equipped mixer serves live performance, recording and production needs across diverse applications from solo artists and bands to schools, houses of worship and conference facilities. The ZED-10 handles up to four microphones and two stereo sources like iPods or CD players, while emulating the valve/tube input circuitry found on instrument combos and amplifiers.
Professional connectivity options include XLR main stereo outputs, separate 2-track recording outputs, comprehensive monitoring with headphones and dedicated monitor speaker output. The USB functionality provides both send and return capabilities for PC or Mac recording, playback and effects processing. Audio shaping comes via 3-band swept-mid EQ on mono inputs and 2-band EQ on stereo channels, supported by high gain, low noise pre-amps and two aux sends for monitors and effects.
The ZED-10FX variant adds premium quality effects derived from Allen & Heath's professional touring digital consoles, including classic reverbs, cascaded delays, flangers and chorus effects. Construction quality sets these mixers apart at their price point, featuring vertical board construction and internal universal PSU that designer Mike Griffin notes puts the ZED-10 in a truly professional class of its own, maintaining Allen & Heath's reputation for superior build quality and sound performance.
