Allen & Heath ZED-10FX Mixer
Item: AHZED10FX
The Allen & Heath ZED-10FX is an amazing little mixer 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. It is equipped with professional XLR stereo outputs and a flexible monitoring section with headphone and speaker feed outputs. You also get a set of fabulous effects to give shimmering reverbs and enhance your sound. ZED-10FX is bundled with IK Multimedia’s AmpliTube X-GEAR software, giving access to superbly modelled amps and effects.
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! Just plug in a USB cable 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. These different send/return configurations re available:

The ZED 10FX features a responsive 3-band, swept mid frequency EQ design which utilises MusiQ – with optimised slope (or Q factor) for equalizing individual instruments. It also has an essential selection of 16 time-delay effects. Allen & Heath DSP engineers created beautiful reverb algorithms to enhance every performance. These effects are available nowhere else at this price point. ZED effects are easily controlled using 3 buttons with 9 display LEDs.
As if this weren't enough, the ZED-10FX comes with access to a full version of IK Multimedia’s AmpliTube X-GEAR software – the first fully modular, customizable and expandable preamp and FX modelling software system. All the ingredients are there for some truly legendary guitar and bass tones.
