Allen & Heath ZEDi-10FX Hybrid Compact Mixer/4x4 USB Interface with FX

Product Information

With a mac however, the ZEDi runs as a class compliant device and so you would use routing in whatever application you are running to select the channels you want to use. Last but not least, the Allen & Heath ZEDi-10FX is built to last. It should be able to handle most of the reasonable abuse you can throw at it, which is good news considering the people who will buy a small-format console like this are probably people who are also on a budget.

Then, there are the effects. These effects are optimized for send and return use, so they’re all time-based — that’s to say you’ll get reverbs, delays, and some modulation effects.You get a hefty 61 presets, and you can adjust parameters and save presets yourself. Really they’re a dream for live engineers working in small settings. Again, in a studio situation you may find yourself relying a little more on in-the-box solutions — but in a live setting, where you don’t want to lug around a lot of gear, the effects included are versatile, sound great, and are easy to use. Conclusions M1-M2-L-R = USB channels 1&2 are sourced directly from the preamps of M1 and M2 then USB channels 3&4 are the stereo main LR mix. In the middle of the console are the FX controls. On the right side of the consoleyou’ll find the master section, which has a long-throw fader, headphone controls, aux and monitor controls, and a phantom power switch — which is global. I currently use it as my main audio interface in my little studio, and it works well enough for that. As an interface it's not as user friendly as the scarlett suite, but it makes up for it in versatility. Beneath the level pot is a tell‑tale sign that there's an on‑board audio interface: a button labelled 'record', with which you can assign the channel's output to the USB output, for recording in your DAW, and, beneath that, a 'listen' button, which similarly routes the signal to the 'phones output (of which more later).There are a few things to keep in mind while using this console. For example, plugging into the second stereo input cuts the mixer’s USB signal — so remember to avoid doing that if you want to keep your mixer connected to your DAW. Allen & Heath told us that users can also configure the DAW return to be on ST3 instead of ST2 through a firmware update.

As the name suggests, the ZED10 FX is a 10‑channel mixer with onboard effects, but it also includes a stereo USB audio interface, capable of 24‑bit, 48kHz conversion, along with some useful routing options, which I'll discuss later. Also bundled with the mixer is a free version of IK Multimedia's X‑Gear amp and cabinet modelling software, which offers a few very good-quality models, and is arguably a more useful addition than the usual cut‑down DAW software. I connected the ZED10 FX to my MacBook Pro and it was recognised instantly as a class‑compliant USB audio device, so no drivers were required. However, Allen & Heath suggest trying the third‑party ASIO4ALL driver if you're experiencing any problems on a PC (not that you should be!).Although a power switch is missing, Behringer has to compensate with the phantom power supply. The condenser microphones can also be used. Third, the built-in FX are not only actually optimized for send/return use (no distortions or harmonizers or other stuff you’d never strap across an entire bus in a conventional mix!), but they’re actually adjustable. The engine features 61 presets with delays, reverbs, and modulation effects, alone and in combination. Each has one internal parameter that can be adjusted to taste and saved with the preset. While the standards are all here, I particularly enjoyed some of the unusual choices like the LF-adjustable Thunder Verb and the mixtures of reverb and modulation like Ambient Phase and Plate Symphonic. Allen and Heath will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of its obligations under this Licence that are caused by an event outside of its reasonable control

One of the mic/line channel strips from the ZED10 FX, which includes three‑band EQ plus Aux and FX sends.A special feature of the UX version of the MG mixer is its USB interface. This offers two additional inputs and outputs in 24-bit, 192 kHz quality. The mixer thus also functions as an audio interface. The microphone reduces excess noise. The console has a button that allows you the ability to control external noise once you have included the microphone.

The unit’s new GSPre mic preamps have tons of headroom and a very clean sound, as good as or better than anything you’ll hear in this price range. As I said before, the EQ is very musical and easy to use, and encourages experimentation, especially in combination with the PFL system. It was easy (and fun!) to get the sounds I was after. The multiple monitor routing options spoiled me for choice in a very short time, eliminating a lot of guesswork. The whole thing feels pretty solid, and all of the knobs seem to be securely fastened to the front panel, rather than directly to the circuit‑board, as you sometimes find on cheaper, flimsier designs. On Test The rear panel of the ZED10 FX hosts the IEC mains power inlet, as well as a recessed switch to alter the output level. from New York capital region on December 27, 2022 Rated 5/5 BLUE, KANGAROO, EFFECT NUMBER 92!
