Overview:
ALLEN AND HEATH ZED-12FX is ideal for groups who need to travel light. Even
with its small footprint, the 12FX squeezes in 4 auxiliary channels and swept
semi-parametric EQ on top of the already impressive feature set including
configurable USB audio in/out makes it easy to capture stereo recordings.
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
MUSIQ
- ZED-12FX 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-12FX 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.
DUOPRE
- Based on the proven pre-amps from the hugely successful PA
series, ZED-12FX 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, 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 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.
