Proving that good things come in small packages, Allen & Heath’s Zed10 crams a bunch of awesomeness into a little (34 x 28 x 10cm) space, that weighs in at just 3.2kg. It’s ideal for small band as a live performance mixer, or in your video editing suite, or for a home studio.

Aside from the 4 x XLR microphone inputs, there are choice features not usually found in mixers of this price range, including a handy (recessed) switch to pad your XLR outputs down, allowing the ZED10 to be used as a sub-mixer.

USB audio flexibility

Getting audio to and from a computer easily is now a common requirement 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 to your ZED, 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.
