Allen & Heath ZED16FX

As an intermediate model in the ZED series, the ZED-16FX is a compact, high-quality solution for mid-sized groups and small installations that want a reliable, warm, accurate sound console.

Versatility in everything.
With its inimitable lines and two elegant red wings, this console is easily identifiable! Designed for groups looking for a complete analog console and small theaters, the ZED-16FX offers 10 mono channels, 3 stereo channels and a high-quality effect circuit, all in a rack-mountable format for all the situations !
A sound signature just inimitable.
To give you that warm, precise sound that's so much in demand by the sound engineers, the ZED-16FX incorporates DuoPre professional quality preamps. Specially developed for these consoles by Allen & Heath, they have a two-stage design that provides precise gain control evenly over a range of over 69 dB. In order to precisely control the level of each channel, each slice sports a 100mm ALPS fader of quality, while a 3-band EQ with semi-parametric midrange (2-band stereo) allows you to effectively sculpt your sound.
Very wide possibilities.
Notwithstanding the modest size, the ZED-16FX offers extensive connectivity and listening capabilities. Each channel is indeed equipped with a Mute and PFL function to work efficiently live and simply adjust the gain of each instrument. In addition to its dedicated effect slice that allows precise control of the overall effect level, it has 3 mono aux sends, 2 switchable in stereo on the appropriate slices, a send effect, and an insert on each mono channel and on the master to insert external effects. In addition to these numerous connections, there are switch-routing options that suggest configurations that you may not have imagined.
An all-terrain console.
The reputation of Allen & Heath in the design of mixing consoles for the live is over, as the image of the brand is inseparable from the greatest concerts of the last 40 years. Very comfortable on a stage or in a theater, the ZED-16FX is as much in its element in a recording studio or on a fixed installation thanks to its numerous analog and digital outputs. Delivered with Sonar LE audio acquisition software, the ZED-16FX has a USB interface that induces the sending and the return of a stereo signal between the computer and the console. Perfect to register, this interface is a real asset that eliminates the purchase of an external sound card, expensive and cumbersome.
Always more versatile and complete, the ZED-16FX is as comfortable on a stage in the studio or fixed installation thanks to its various advanced features. In fine, it will delight both music groups and directors of small theaters.
