Allen & Heath ZED60-10FX 10-Channel Analog Mixer with Effects with Instrument Inputs

Inspired by the successful ZED-10FX, Allen & Heath offer the ZED60-10FX, an ultra-portable mixer for solo artists and small bands. The ZED60-10FX adds premium quality 60mm faders for that intuitive, tactile mixing experience. This ZED Mini comes with configurable USB audio in/out, making it easy to capture a stereo recording at the gig or in the studio. The mixer is also equipped with professional XLR main stereo outputs, a flexible monitoring section with headphone and speaker feed outputs, and 16 stunning FX.

This mixer is a guitarist’s dream as two of the 4 mono channels have high impedance jack inputs that can take a normal line level or a low level input from a guitar pickup, so guitars can be plugged straight into the mixer without the need for DI boxes. These inputs have been crafted to recreate the sound of a classic tube preamp in a combo or head amp for incredible definition and warmth. Two stereo inputs are provided for MP3/CD players or keyboards.

The ZED60-10FX 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. These effects are available nowhere else at this price point – this quality and integration is only available from the ZED-FX. ZED effects are easily controlled using 3 buttons with 9 display LEDs.
