Description

  • DuoPre XLR Microphone preamps, including 48V Phantom power for condenser microphones and up to 69dB of gain. Each preamp uses two gain stages to provide a full and accurate sound across the entire gain range with enough power for even the most gain hungry mics.
  • A 100Hz High Pass Filter on every mono input allows unneeded low frequencies to be removed, then the 3-band MusiQ EQ with swept mid frequency uses carefully selected frequencies to ensure your sound sculpting is always musical. Cut or boost highs and lows with shelving EQ and use the mid frequency selection to choose exactly where to adjust the mid frequencies, especially useful for vocals, guitar and other instruments with a rich mid-range.
  • A built-in, studio quality multi-FX unit provides 16 different, tweakable FX types including reverbs, delays and modulation with tap tempo to keep everything in time. These are not your average compact mixer FX either, using algorithms developed entirely in-house by our DSP experts rather than an ‘off-the-shelf’ chip.
  • A routable stereo-in stereo-out USB connection makes it easy to record the whole main mix or just the channels you need and enables a stereo return from the connected device to be routed back to the mix. It’s also class compliant and does not require drivers, meaning not just Mac and Windows computers can be connected, but also many mobile devices such as tablets or even smart phones.
  • Optional rack ear kit [ZED1802-RK19] securely fits the mixer into a standard 19” rack or flight case.
  • 10 Mic, 10 Line/ Inst, 3 Stereo (2 Left, 2 Righ), 2 USB Audio, 1 FX Return
  • Allen & Heath’s ZED-16FX is ideal for groups who need to travel light. It gives musicians and venues and access to 10 full mono channels, 3 stereo channels and a high quality FX unit in a compact, rack-mountable format. Configurable USB audio in/out makes it easy to capture stereo recordings. Just plug in a USB, select the USB routing on the mixer and the device on your computer and that’s it! Get CD-quality audio to and from your PC or Mac. Switches and connection through jack socket terminals provide different send/return configurations. ZED-16FX features a responsive 3-band, swept mid frequency EQ design which utilizes MusiQ, with optimized slope (or Q factor) for equalizing individual instruments. ZED-16FX has an essential selection of 16 time-delay effects, designed for small groups who don’t want to carry around an effects unit with their gear. These effects are available nowhere else at this price point; this quality and integration is only available from the ZED-FX. ZED effects are easily controlled using 3 buttons with 9 display LEDs. For example, the ideal delay time can be quickly tapped-in, or the perfect amount of reverb on the lead vocal can be dialed-in. There is one-stop navigation and editing; in fact, it’s just as easy as using effects pedals. To alter effects parameters, the TAP button is held down and the up/down buttons pressed to adjust the specific parameter for that effect. ZED-16FX has DuoPre 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. Cakewalk SONAR X1 LE is included with ZED-16FX, so you can immediately start to use it to create your own music. Simply add a PC and it couldn’t be easier to get going. You’ll be able to record from your ZED mixer, create tracks and arrange songs, then play back to ZED via the USB port.
