Overview:
ALLEN AND HEATH ZED-10FX is an amazing little desk for small band mixing. It
is ultra portable for carrying to the gig, and can be used for recording live
or in the studio. It comes with configurable USB audio in/out making it easy to
capture stereo recordings.
Guitars can be plugged in directly to the mixer using the
specially designed high-impedance inputs, while the mixer has two stereo inputs
for MP3/CD players or keyboards. Equipped with professional XLR stereo outputs
and a flexible monitoring section with headphone and speaker feed outputs.
We’ve added a set of fabulous effects to give shimmering reverbs and enhance
your sound.
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! CD quality audio to and from your PC or Mac. Switches and connection
through jack socket terminals provide different send/return configurations:-
SEND OPTIONS
1) Main Mix Left + Right (Post-fade)
2) Main Mix Left + Right (Pre-Fade)
3) Auxes 1-2
4) Auxes 3-4
RETURN OPTIONS
1) To Stereo 3 channel
USIQ
- ZED-10FX features a responsive 3-band, swept mid frequency
EQ design which utilises MusiQ – with optimised slope (or Q factor) for
equalising individual instruments.
ZED-FX
- ZED-10FX 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 but who still want great quality FX at their gigs and on
their recordings. Our DSP engineers worked hard, crafting and refining
beautiful reverb algorithms to enhance every performance. 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 dialled-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,
for example, the decay length on PLATE, or the depth on CHORUS.
GUITAR DI
- ZED-10FX’s pre-amps are similar in design to our MixWizard
range of mixers, but with a twist! Inputs 3 & 4 have a high impedance jack
input capable of taking either a normal line level or a low level input from a
guitar pickup. These newly designed inputs have been crafted with the aim of
replicating the sound of a classic guitar or instrument tube pre-amp in a combo
or head amp. An extremely high input impedance ensures loading on pick-ups is
minimal and a Class A FET (field effect transistor) circuit powered from 48V is
employed to give the valve-like gain stage. There is a gain “Boost” switch
associated with the guitar inputs which boosts gain by 26dB to cater for
instruments with very low level outputs and the overdrive characteristics of
the guitar inputs are very similar to a valve (tube) circuit, being asymmetric
and soft. All this makes for a wonderfully natural sound to be reproduced from
the instrument, full of warmth and character
