It’ll be equally happy running your gig on stage, recording live or mixing down in your studio at home. We’ve teamed up with major software supplier, Cakewalk, to bundle its SONAR LE music creation and audio production software with ZED, giving you a fantastic, high spec digital audio workstation. The USB audio interface, with its uniquely flexible capability, is the same as on the new ZED 14 2 bus mixer and allows different signals to be sent to USB, from LR or from the aux busses, with the USB return signal available as a stereo return. The connectors are placed on the top surface for easy plugging & patching, and the construction, with individual circuit boards firmly nutted to the top panel, is as rock solid as Allen & Heath’s top of the range ML Series mixers. The ZED 4 bus series is available with either 16 mono inputs plus 2 dual stereo channels ZED 420, 242 ZED 428 or 322 ZED 436. Also included with ZED 4 Bus is the excellent SONAR LE digital audio workstation software for Windows, with audio and MIDI multi track recording and mixing capability, effects plug ins and editing features, enabling the ZED 4 Bus mixer to become a live recording or home recording mixer. Features Inputs One of the great things about the ZED series is the number and variety of things you can plug in. In addition to the sixteen mono channels there are two dual stereo channels, each with a main stereo input on jack sockets and with additional inputs on phono sockets. the USB return can be selected to one of the additional inputs so that it feeds either the main LR bus or the stereo channel. DuoPreTM Based on the proven pre amps from the hugely successful PA series, the ZED series has new DuoPreTM pre amps, 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. EQ section ZED 428 features a responsive 4 band EQ taken from the acclaimed GL2400 mixer. The design utilises MusiQ optimised slope or Q factor for equalising individual instruments. Auxiliary sends 6 aux sends are provided, of which 1&2 are
