Allen & Heath Launches ZED60-14FX Compact Analog Mixer
Looking for a state-of-the-art, small-footprint analog mixer? If that sounds good to you – and it probably does to a lot of people – then Allen & Heath has obliged with the launch of the ZED60-14FX.
The ZED60-14FX is available immediately for 335 Euro, or $411.05 at today’s exchange rates.
A very compact analog mixer ideal for small bands, personal studios, project studios, and live venues, the ZED60-14FX is a companion to the ZED60-10FX, which was launched earlier this year. The 14FX employs the same 60mm faders, but with the addition of an additional four mono/mic channels.
With the ZED60-14FX, two of the eight mono channels have high-impedance jack inputs that can take a normal line level or a low level input from a guitar pickup, allowing guitars to be plugged straight into the mixer without the need for DI boxes. According to Allen & Heath, these inputs have been crafted to recreate the sound of a classic tube preamp in a combo or head amp for definition and warmth. In addition, two stereo inputs are provided for MP3/CD players or keyboards.
The ZED60-14FX also 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 equipped with professional XLR main stereo outputs, a flexible monitoring section with headphone and speaker feed outputs, and 16 high quality digital effects.
