With 32 DuoPre™ preamps borrowed from Zed14, low-noise summing amps from the acclaimed GL2400, and a simple (yet solid) surface that will be the envy of many lesser consoles, Zed 436 is flexible.
The 4-band eq (2 mid sweeps) and insert points on each mono channel ensure you’ve got good control on any mic you want to plug in. Mono channels also have individual +48v phantom power, direct outputs and 6 aux sends (2 pre, 2 post, 2 pre/post).
It’s a very well thought-out mixing console. Layout: 16 mono + 2 stereo to the left of Main output section, 16 more mono on the right.
2 dual stereo channels, 4 subgroups, 3 Main outs (left, right & mono). Insert points on all sub and main outputs, plus you get a talkback mic input (routable to a few relevant places), and the very useful USB for serious connectivity (stereo returns, send to recorder, or plug-in FX send-return). All connectors are in eyeshot for easy reference.
