4 bus MIXERS
zed-420 zed-428 zed-436
ZED 4 bus mixers are a favourite choice for larger
bands, houses of worship and theatres. They are
also appreciated by AV and PA rental companies
looking for a good return on investment with
minimal maintenance. Available with 16, 24 or 32
mic/line inputs plus 2 dual stereo inputs with EQ,
4-band EQ, 4 sub-groups, 6 auxiliary sends and a 7x2
mat
matrix, their truly professional feature set will
fit any sound reinforcement scenario.
DuoPre
BasedBased on the proven preamps from the hugely successful PA series, ZED
4-bus mixers have DuoPre preamps, which use a two stage design with
carefully controlled amounts of gain in each stage. When amplifying the
signal from the XLR input, the gain range is huge—69dB of range to be
exact—and is very evenly distributed around the gain control, meaning better
control of signal level. Most of the gain comes from the first stage, so
unwanted noise is kept to a minimum. Line level signals are simply plugged
into
into the second stage of the preamp by using the line input jack socket, which
has the great advantages of less noise and matching to a higher input
impedance.
MusiQ – 4 Band
All ZED 4-bus mixers employ a tuned 4-band EQ, taken from our acclaimed
GL2400 mixer, utilising MusiQ British EQ with musical response. The two mid
bands are swept and in/out switching allows instant comparison of the
pre/post EQ signal.
USB audio flexibility
ZEDZED makes it easy to get audio to and from your computer for live sound and
music production. 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. Just plug in a USB lead, 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. Switches and connection through jack socket terminals
provide different send/retu
provide different send/return configurations.
