Overview
HYBRID COMPACT
MIXER / USB INTERFACE
- ZEDi-8 gives musicians, recording artists and venues the

around at home, performing live or recording tracks to share on YouTube and
Soundcloud, ZEDi-8 is a versatile companion for every step of the creative
journey. Featuring the new GSPre boutique preamp design, developed from the
revered GS-R24 studio recording console, the ZED boasts exceptionally low noise
and massive headroom, with a signature analogue warmth and depth. Guitarists

impedance inputs, allowing guitars to be plugged straight into the mixer
without the hassle and expense of carrying separate DI boxes.
MIXER + USB
INTERFACE
- ZEDi-8 offers the best of both worlds, incorporating a
studio quality 2 in / 2 out, 24-bit/96kHz USB audio interface for hassle-free
recording and playback to/from a Mac or PC, or to an iOS device using the iOS
camera kit. The USB output source can be set up in several different ways to

EXCEPTIONAL AUDIO
QUALITY
- ZEDi-8 features an exceptional new preamp design, created
by analogue guru, Mike Griffin and developed from his highly acclaimed GS-R24
studio recording console. Known as GSPre, the preamps deliver exceptionally low
noise and massive headroom, and the warmth and depth that Allen & Heath’s
analogue range is famous for. For tonal shaping, the precise MusiQ EQ controls
have been carefully calibrated for responsiveness and precision, making it easy
to shape and enhance each musical source.
ROAD TOUGH
- All ZED mixers are designed and built to Allen &
Heath’s legendary touring grade standards to ensure a long life in the toughest
environments. All channels are on individual, vertical circuit boards and all
rotary controls are secured to the front panel with a steel nut to guard
against impact damage.
MADE FOR GUITARS
- ZEDi-8 comes with two Guitar DI high impedance jack
inputs, allowing guitars to be plugged straight into the mixer without the need
for DI boxes. That’s one less piece of gear to buy, carry and set up.
IT’S AN ALLEN
& HEATH
- Allen & Heath has been a trusted name in professional
audio since 1969. The ZED technology advances, but the commitment to audio
