These are fantastic mixers for small bands, venues and
hire companies. In a market full of ‘me too’ mixers these
consoles stand out from the pack with their
comprehensive features, fine lines and quality
construction. Each model is provided with between 6
and 16 mic/line inputs, 3 or 4 stereo inputs with EQ, and 3
or 4 auxiliary sends. The FX versions are ideal for
gr
groups who need to travel light. larger models can
easily accommodate vocals, drums, guitar, bass and
keys whilst also providing a dedicated FX bus and 16
internal effects to give the whole mix extra ambience.

DuoPre
BasedBased on the proven preamps from the hugely successful PA series, ZED
2-bus and 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 – 3 Band
ZED 2-bus consoles feature a responsive 3-band British EQ with sweepable
mid frequency that is acclaimed for its musicality, even when applying
extreme creative or corrective equalisation. All EQ controls have been
carefully calibrated for responsiveness and smooth, precise adjustment.
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.

ZED-FX
TheThe ZED-12FX, ZED-16FX and ZED-22FX have an essential selection of 16
time-delay effects, designed for performers who don’t want to carry an
effects unit with their gear but who still want great quality FX at their gigs and
on their recordings. Our DSP engineers worked hard, crafting and refining
beautiful reverb algorithms to enhance every performance. These effects are
available nowhere else —this quality and integration is only available from the
ZED-FX. ZED effects are easily controlled using 3 buttons with 9 display
LEDs.
LEDs. For example, the ideal delay time can be quickly tapped-in, or the
perfect amount of reverb on the lead vocal can be dialled-in. There is
one-stop navigation and editing—in fact, it’s just as easy as using FX pedals.
