GET INTO ZED YOUR SPACE LIVE & STUDIO Allen & Heath has been in the mixer business for nearly 40 years, so we understand what elements make a good mixer such as fantastic sound, rugged build quality and imaginative feature sets. We ve brought all these principles together to produce the ZED series, a range of competitively-priced mixers for musicians and sound engineers which will last a lifetime, and make mixing a real pleasure. FEATURE SET Comprising both stereo and 4-bus versions, ZED s feature set is incredibly advanced for mixers at this level. ZED mixers offer many sources to the mix, 4 or 6 aux sends, 4 groups on the 4 bus versions, a USB send and return (for PC/Mac recording, playback and effects), a unique dual stereo input capability and some very advanced monitoring facilities. SOUND QUALITY Our chief designer, Mike Griffin, has been at the forefront of audio innovation for many years and has developed the designs for our spectacularly successful MixWizard, PA and GL series professional live mixers. VERSATILITY Bundled with Cakewalk s superb SONAR LE production software, ZED mixers can be used for many different tasks:- Straightforward live performance mixing, utilizing plug-in effects via USB. SOLID CONSTRUCTION This impressive feature set is complemented by 100mm faders for accurate control, the connectors are placed on the top surface for easy plug-in and patching, and the construction, with individual vertically-mounted circuit boards nutted to the top panel, is identical to Allen & Heath s professional touring mixers. Mike is always striving to produce the best possible sound for our products, so ZED mixers utilize MusiQ 3 or 4 band EQ, and incorporate the DuoPre TM, a mic preamplifier which will not colour or distort your sound, will give you lots of headroom and a truly professional feel. Mixing sources and managing outputs for AV presentations Live recording via USB and digital audio workstation such as SONAR LE Studio recording or mixing down to produce 2-track recordings.

ZED-14 / ZED-24 ZED-14 is fantastic entry-level mixer for small bands, solo performers or AV ZED Design Essentials applications. Its comprehensive feature set, compact size and fine lines combine to make it one of the best small mixers around. Provided with 6 mic or line inputs, 4 stereo inputs with EQ, there are an incredible 153 controls on the front panel of the ZED-14. The ZED-24 adds a further 10 mono mic/line inputs for more demanding applications. 6 mic/line inputs / 16 mic/line inputs DuoPre tm mic preamps Responsive 3-band, swept mid EQ with MusiQ 6 mic/line inputs DuoPre TM Based on the proven pre-amps from the hugely successful PA series, all ZED series mixers have new DuoPre tm pre-amps, which use a two stage design, with carefully controlled amounts of gain in each stage. When amplifying the signal from the XLR input, the gain range is huge - 69dB of range to be exact - and is very evenly distributed around the gain control, meaning better control of signal level. Most of the gain comes from the first stage, so unwanted noise is kept to a minimum. Line level USB audio flexibility Getting audio to and from a computer easily is now a common requirement for live sound and music production. The way this has been implemented on ZED is super-flexible and super-easy! No longer do you need to fiddle around the back of your PC to get to the soundcard inputs, only to find that the levels are all wrong and noisy. Just plug in a USB lead to your ZED, select the USB routing on the mixer and the device on your computer and that's it! Quality audio to and from your PC or Mac. Three switches provide different send/return configurations:- 4 stereo line inputs with gain and 2-band EQ 4 aux sends Rack-mountable with optional rack-ears, fits into a 11U space 100mm professional quality faders Flexible dual input options ZED-420 / ZED-428 / ZED-436 Zed 4 bus mixers are excellent for bands, houses of worship, theatres or AV applications. It s got a truly professional feature set, which will fit any sound reinforcement application and professional PA hire stock. Available with 16, 24 or 32 mic or 16 mic/line inputs signals are simply plugged into the second stage of the pre-amp by using the line input jack socket, which has the great advantage of less noise when using the line input and also matching to a higher input impedance. MusiQ ZED-14 and 24 feature a responsive 3-band, swept mid frequency design, while ZED 4-Bus mixers have instead a responsive 4-band EQ taken from the acclaimed GL2400 mixer. Both designs utilise MusiQ with optimised slope (or Q factor) for equalising individual instruments. Option 1 LR Post-Fader to USB - with all USB switches up, the main output from the LR is sent through the USB connection to record the main mix to software. Option 2 LR Pre-fader to USB the LR prefade signal is sent via USB to record the mix independent of the master faders. Option 3 Aux 1-2 to USB 2 separate record feeds from Aux 1 and 2, independent of the main LR mix and channel fader position, are sent to PC. Option 4 (ZED-14/24) Aux 3-4 to USB used to create post channel fader sends to USB for use as effects sends. The USB return acts as the effects return. Option 5 (4-bus only) Auxes 5-6 send a postfade mix for FX sends. line inputs plus 2 dual stereo inputs with EQ, it boasts 4-band EQ with MusiQ, 4 sub-groups, 6 auxiliary sends and a 7x2 matrix. 16 mic/line inputs ZED-14, ZED-24 ZED-420, ZED-428, ZED-436 Option 6 (4-bus only) Matrix 1-2 outputs are sent to the USB port enabling a combination of LRM and Groups to be recorded. Ideal for adding backline to the record mix. 4 groups 16/24/36 mono mic/line inputs with DuoPre tm preamps 2 dual stereo channels with gain 4-band, 2 swept EQ with MusiQ Lo-Cut Filter HF SONAR LE - provided Free!

You can use SONAR LE and your ZED mixer together in many ways for example, straightforward recording of a stereo mix, recording tracks individually to build up a song, or sending a postfade mix from ZED and inserting an effects plug-in from SONAR LE, returning the post-effects signal to the mix in ZED. The package also includes 2 instruments, 6 MIDI effects and 14 audio effects.
