![]() ![]() ZED-FX features a musical 3-band EQ derived from the acclaimed GL2400 mixer. 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. Most of the gain comes from the first stage, so unwanted noise is kept to a minimum. 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. 6 mic/line channels are provided on ZED12FX - plenty for mics or DI boxes for a small band, duo or solo performer 4 stereo line inputs - dual inputs, both with gain and 2-band EQīased on the proven pre-amps from the hugely successful PA series, the ZED series has new DuoPreTM pre-amps, which use a two stage design, with carefully controlled amounts of gain in each stage. In addition to the six mono channels there are three dual stereo channels, each with a main stereo input on jack sockets, and with the ability to take additional stereo inputs from phono sockets or from the USB audio input, flexibility gives you control. One of the great things about the ZED series is the number and variety of things you can plug in. Five of the effects can have their tempo tapped in, and the output auditioned by the FX PFL. Each of the effects has a parameter which can be altered: pre-delay can be adjusted, room sizes tweaked, and flanger speed dialled-in. ![]() All have been designed to complement the material the engineer is working with. These include Delay and Reverb, Ping-Pong delay, a selection of reverbs with different room/hall/arena properties, a flanger and a chorus. Each mono channel has an insert point, allowing in-line effects such as compressors to be added to the signal chain, just like our large format mixers.ġ6 separate effects have been crafted into the ZED-FX range. Keyboards, microphones, samplers, the sky is the limit. ![]() Between them they offer a solution for any small group or singer songwriter needing up to 16 mono inputs and 3 stereo inputs. ![]() The ZED FX range currently comprises of the ZED12FX and the 22FX. The connectors are placed on the top surface for easy plugging & patching, and the construction, with individual circuit boards firmly nutted to the top panel, is as rock solid as Allen & Heath's top of the range ML Series mixers. The USB return signal can be routed straight to the LR mix or to a stereo channel. The USB audio interface, with its uniquely flexible capability, allows different signals to be sent to USB, from LR or from selected aux buses. The layout and features have been arranged to be logical and instantly recognisable at a dark gig- a mixer you can trust to per form. The ZED FX is designed to fulfil all the functions a small band would need without their own sound engineer. Hold down the TAP button and press the up or down button to alter the effects parameter, for example on patch (9) Plate, this would adjust the decay length. In fact, just as easy as your effects pedals. Quickly tap the ideal delay time or 'dial-in' the per fect amount of reverb on the lead vocal. ZED FX are easily controlled using 3 buttons and 9 LEDs. In addition to the DuoPreTM mic pre-amps, 100mm faders and MusiQ EQ section which are shared with the whole ZED range, the ZED FX has 16 unique effects, designed by Allen and Heath's DSP team, in Cornwall. The mixer is ideal 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. The effects are available nowhere else - this quality and integration is only available from the ZED FX.ġ6 essential time-delay effects add to the already bulging feature set. Allen and Heath's DSP engineers have been working hard, crafting and refining beautiful reverb algorithms. Complementing the existing ZED series, the ZED FX has been developed around an FX chipset purely for the new model. ![]()
