Allen & Heath ZED Sixty10FX USB mixer demo at Nevada Music UK

The Allen & Heath ZED60-10FX is designed as a portable mixer for solo artists, duos and small bands.The ZED60-10FX is essentially the same as Allen & Heath's popular ZED-10FX mixer, but it replaces the level knobs with 60mm faders for a more traditional mixing experience. Just like the ZED-10FX, the ZED60-10FX features 16 pro-quality FX and can be used both live or in the studio.

The ZED60-10FX mixer is in fact the perfect choice for a guitar player .... 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 whilst two stereo inputs are provided for MP3/CD players or keyboards.

Allen & Heath's ZED60-10FX comes with configurable USB audio in/out, making it easy to capture a stereo recording at a 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 impressive sounding FX. Most important of all, ZED60-10FX lives up to the audio and build quality standards that have made Allen & Heath one of the most trusted names in professional audio for more than 40 years.

my girlfriend were listening to this on the background, she just came in with a remark that went like this, "That guy sounds like he should be housting a nighttime radio show, hes voice is so calm and soft" and i´ll have to agree! :)
ps, great review!

The USB can handle 2 outputs and 2 inputs i.e its a 2in 2 out USB sound card so can't do 4 ins/ outs on separate channels.

This looks like a higher quality construction and sound capabilities than the Yamaha MG10XU which I currently have. Wish I could do a side by side comparison. Excellent video btw !

Great demo well done. Love A&H desks, I've got a ZED 12FX and ZED R16 and they're a joy to use. Must say it looks like they've improved the "user interface" on the ZED Sixty 10FX, much cleaner layout with some improved push buttons and clearer markings. Really like the per-channel push-button send to USB.

So this mixer connects to my PC via USB?

[AdnanAlsannaa]

I'm torn between this and the Yamaha MG12XU. Anyone has experience with Yamaha mixers?

Thanks for the info. What kind of USB mixer would be able to handle say 8 in and 8 out channels simultaneously? Something that in practice would enable me to record 8 separate tracks to my DAW, but then also enable the mixing of those tracks on the desk hardware faders, EQs and Aux.

I am using Zoom r24 which enables me to record 8 simultaneous tracks, but only outputs 2 channels.

I'm using the ZED 10 fx, has anyone else noticed a noise that piles up on each recording? It's just soft white noise, but after you've made a few recordings and layered them you can really hear it. I've tried adjusting the Unity Gain and the Output gain switches on the back, nothin'.

[sonicuprising]

Can you feed multiple channels to and from your DAW via the USB?

If you had say a 4 channel mix in your DAW, could you route each channel to the desk channels and use the desks volumes, EQs, Aux etc?

[mikimini]

can we record sounds using this? if so, how? please reply, because we have this kind of mixer

[nyfries]

is there pre post fader option for the aux sends?

[gomajeja]

Hello,
Can i use this in a DJ application?.

[kamayboy]

I'm routing my DJ controller to my Zed 10fx because I needed multiple microphones, how do I get the best and loud sound in this type of set up. Do I need to tweek some knobs on the zed mixer? Thank you.
