 Allen & Heath     32   ZED-R16 User Guide 
Device Settings 
This area of the control panel shows information for the ZED-R16 if connected to the FireWire bus. The device (mixer) is 
shown in the Devices list on the right, the clock symbol is displayed if it is the clock master and a padlock symbol shows if 
the device is locked or unlocked (synchronised or not). 
ZED DICE CONTROL PANEL 
On the left of the Device Settings area are two Tabs, General and Firmware Loader. 
The General tab displays the device description which should be set to Allen & Heath Ltd. ZED R 16 if connected, and the 
Nickname box allows the user to give a particular name to the mixer connected which is useful if different mixers are being 
used, or if two are connected together (this is possible but is not described in this control panel guide). 
Underneath the device Nickname, the actual measured sample rate is displayed along with the device status. 
An alert icon will appear on the device list item to show that certain 
events have been logged which apply to the device shown such as the 
device being locked or unlocked temporarily. The icon will fade, but if the 
mouse is hovered over the icon before it fades the reported events will 
appear as a ToolTip. When the icon has faded, shift+clicking over the 
device box in the Devices list will show the most recent 40 events logged. 
Parameter Locking: 
When an audio application is running on the computer, 
certain functions are locked by the control panel for 
example the sample rate setting. A ToolTip will appear 
to inform the user of this if the mouse pointer is hov-
ered over the relevant parameter box. 
To access these parameter settings, the audio applica-
tion should be closed and re-opened after the settings 
are made. 
The Firmware Loader tab allows the user to upload new Firmware to the ZED-R16. The procedure for doing this is not 
described in this control panel guide.
