Allen & Heath Zed-14

The ZED14 features ten primary channel strips: six mono and four stereo. The mono channels are equipped with XLR inputs for microphones and 1/4" jacks. All microphone inputs can be globally supplied with phantom power. The four stereo channels offer dual EQ without a mid-band and a gain range from silence to +15 dB.

Thanks to the USB interface, the mixer can be easily connected to a Windows computer or Mac. There is no need to worry about drivers, as the device is "plug-and-play" capable. The sampling rate can be set to 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz. If the standard configuration of the mixer is not altered, the main mix signal will go from the mixer to the computer. However, the aux and FX signals or the record bus can also be sent to the computer. When the effects signal is output via USB, the mixer can also function as an effects unit.
