Allen and Heath ZED16FX USB Mixer with FX is ideal for groups who need to travel light. It gives musicians, venues and hire companies access to 10 full mono channels, 3 stereo channels and a high quality FX unit in a compact, rack mountable format. Configurable USB audio in/out makes it easy to capture stereo recordings.
Allen and Heath ZED16FX
Allen and Heath ZED16FX has an essential selection of 16 time-delay effects, designed for small groups who don't want to carry around an effects unit with their gear but who still want great quality FX at their gigs and on their recordings. Our DSP engineers worked hard, crafting and refining beautiful reverb algorithms to enhance every performance. These effects are available nowhere else at this price point. This quality and integration is only available from the ZED16FX.
ZED16FX effects are easily controlled using 3 buttons with 9 display LEDs. For example, the ideal delay time can be quickly tapped-in, or the perfect amount of reverb on the lead vocal can be dialed-in. There is one-stop navigation and editing, in fact, it's just as easy as using effects pedals. To alter effects parameters, the tap button is held down and the up/down buttons pressed to adjust the specific parameter for that effect, for example, the decay length on plate, or the depth on chorus.

MusiQ
Allen and Heath ZED16FX features a responsive 3-band, swept mid frequency EQ design which utilizes MusiQ - with optimized slope, or Q factor, for equalizing individual instruments.
DuoPre
Based on the proven pre-amps from the hugely successful PA series, ZED16FX has DuoPre 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. Line level signals are simply plugged into the second stage of the pre-amp by using the line input jack socket, which has the great advantage of less noise when using the line input and also matching to a higher input impedance.
