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.
