Allen & Heath ZEDi10 Compact Portable Mixer

The ZEDi-10 stands as a remarkable fusion of analogue mixing heritage and modern digital recording technology, offering musicians and recording artists a comprehensive solution that bridges the gap between traditional hands-on control and contemporary studio capabilities. This versatile mixer combines the robustness of analogue circuitry with a high-quality 4�4 USB interface, making it an ideal companion for home studios, live performances, and content creation for platforms like YouTube and SoundCloud.

At the heart of the ZEDi-10 lies the exceptional GSPre boutique preamp design, developed by analogue expert Mike Griffin from the acclaimed GS-R24 studio recording console. These preamps provide exceptionally low noise levels and massive headroom while maintaining the signature analogue warmth and depth that Allen & Heath is renowned for. The mixer features four mic/line inputs with separate XLR and TRS jack sockets, two stereo inputs, and notably includes two Guitar DI high impedance inputs that allow guitarists to connect directly without requiring separate DI boxes.

The studio-quality 24-bit/96kHz USB audio interface enables seamless multitrack recording and playback to Mac, PC, or iOS devices using the camera connection kit. Additional features include precise 3-band MusiQ EQ controls for tonal shaping, lo-cut filters for eliminating unwanted low-frequency noise, FX and aux outputs for external effects and monitoring, 48V phantom power for condenser microphones, and 8 LED signal metering. Built to Allen & Heath’s legendary touring-grade standards with individual vertical circuit boards and steel-nut secured rotary controls, the ZEDi-10 ensures reliable performance in demanding environments.
