Build quality
Allen
Allen & Heath continues to use separate 
vertical PCB construction on the ZED 
borrowed from our large format mixers. 
Even with the smallest ZED, every one of its 
controls is solidly PCB mounted, and every 
potentiometer is nutted to the front panel.
MusiQ
ZED-18 features a responsive 3-band, swept 
mid frequency design which utilises MusiQ 
with optimised slope (or Q factor) for 
equalising individual instruments. 
USB audio flexibility
The ZED-18 comes with a full duplex USB 
soundcard built-in, many useful routing 
options (including master LR pre and post, 
aux 1 & 2 mixes) and a separate stereo 
return channel.
