Zed-10 and Zed-10FX will get their UK debut after NAMM launch
Allen & Heath will be showing several new products at the forthcoming PLASA Focus show in Leeds this April, following their introduction at NAMM and Prolight and Sound, Frankfurt.
The compact Zed-10 and Zed-10FX mini mixers will have their first UK showing. The new additions feature two high-impedance discrete Class A FET inputs, which allow an instrument to be plugged directly into the mixer. A 26dB gain boost switch caters for instruments with very low output pickups.
The ZED-10 and 10FX can also manage up to four microphones and two stereo sources with MP3 player compatibility, provide separate 2-track record outputs and a stereo playback input for 2-track replay or interval music from a CD player, XLR main stereo outputs with inserts, comprehensive monitoring with headphones and separate monitor speaker outputs, 48V microphone phantom power, and DI level switching for sub mixing.
There is also a USB send and return for PC or Mac recording, playback and effects. In addition, the ZED-10FX has a built-in FX processor with TAP tempo delay settings and a 24-bit/48kHz conversion rate. The ZED-10FX uses digital effects algorithms derived from Allen & Heath’s pro touring digital mixing system, ranging from classic reverbs and cascaded delay plus reverbs to shimmering flanger and chorus effects.
