Allen & Heath 11 ZED-10FX User Guide

EQ:

The ZED-10FX and ZED-10 mixers are equipped with a 3-band equaliser circuit on each

mono input, with swept mid frequency section, and a 2-band EQ on the stereo channels. The
frequency and response of each has been carefully chosen to give the maximum performance

when using the EQ on a variety of sources.

Effects Processor:

Zed 10FX has a professional quality effects processor built in which uses our own effects

algorithms developed by our talented engineering staff at Allen & Heath. The effects range

from classic reverbs, cascaded delay plus reverbs to shimmering flanger & chorus effects. The

different effects types are selected with a simple up/down button interface and the tempo of

the delay settings can be set using the TAP button. Holding the TAP button allows the pa-

rameters of the effects to be adjusted. The audio signal to the DSP is converted using 24 bit

high dynamic range converters running at 48kHz sample rate, ensuring low noise, low distor-

tion, transparent effects.

Record Bus:

A separately switched stereo bus can be routed to from any channel creating a selective

recording bus, monitoring bus or stereo clean feed output. You can even route just the ef-

fects processor output to this bus and use the mixer as a high end effects unit.

USB:

Getting audio to and from a computer easily is now a common requirement for live sound

and music production. The way we have implemented this on ZED is super-flexible and super

-easy! No longer do you need to fiddle around the back of your computer 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.

Internal power supply:

Not a “wall wart” - a proper built in power supply specifically designed and based on totally

reliable technology.
