#ALLEN HEATH ZED 10FX PC#

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. The way this has been implemented on ZED is super-flexible and super-easy! No longer do you need to fiddle around the back of your PC to get to the soundcard inputs, only to find that the levels are all wrong and noisy. No fancy incompatible power supplies which is a huge plus.Getting audio to and from a computer easily is now a common requirement for live sound and music production. Unit is powered with typical 3 pin cable. But I would suggest to buy the ZED-10 FX version which has built-in effects. It can be used also for small band, thanks to 4 XLR channels. It's a perfect mixer for the drummer using four microphones (bass,snare,overheads) configuration. It has USB port and is compatibly with most of DAW's. Pretty useful for the selectivity within 'most busy' range of every instrument. It has 3 range EQ available with possibility to swipe through mid range. This at least is worth the price of the unit. Equipped pre amps are absolute top notch and give perfect warm without EQ distortion especially on overhead microphones.

I did not heard better sound quality mixer in that range before. But I must confirm that ZED-10 deserves for them. I am usually sceptical when seeing so many positive reviews on item. I looked for some small versatile mixer to be used with microphones on the drum set. This desk has a great eq for a desk of it's size, very few similarly small desks have a hpf and swept mids.Īll in all a great little desk, I can't see any reason why anyone would choose anything else similar. I have installed them in several churches and over the last 5 years not one has given any problems though my 428 needed it's faders to be cleaned (like all mixing desks I'd advise using a cover if you plan on owning it for several years.) I have 3 Zed's this one, a 16 channel with fx and a 428, this should give you an idea of how much I like them. I haven't used the usb so I cannot comment. Controls feel really nice and the desk feels well made. All Zed's can be a little noisy when not used with good gain structure, this is probably their main failing. Sound quality is as good as your going to get for a desk in it's class, nice smooth tone. Truly great sound, I have used them professionally for the last 5 years and not once has anyone had anything negative to say. I've substituted them for wood to improve the aesthetic). Great build quality (the plastic end cheeks make them look like they might not be built as great as they are. In my opinion Zed's offer the greatest bang for buck in their price ranges.

UPDATE APRIL 2015: Now running on OS x Yosemite v10.10.3 with no problems encountered. At the price, it's extremely good value for money. Perfect for people like me who are not sound engineers and want an unobtrusive, intuative mixer on their desks. There is also enough amp gain to cleanly power 'cold' mics like an EV20 and SM57 etc. Since gain on mics, for my purpose, is 'fix and forget', the need for sliders, and therefore a larger unit, proved unnecessary.

The USB is connected to a MacBook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.4 and worked first time with no subsequent problems. Used for speech and mixing/editing pre-recorded radio pieces it also allows me to attach 3 mics and a broadcast headset for live links to the broadcast studio via a Comrex BRIC-Link. So it was a real pleasure to have tactile controls that feel good to operate. Plus, I'm not a fan of virtual mixing boards. I bought this to replace my Motu 4Pre which although is also solid and has excellent sound, is difficult to physically control.
