Key Features:

Direct Recording of 24-bit/96kHz Audio:

The Allen & Heath ZEDi mixer offers USB 2.0 connectivity, ready to record and play back 24-bit/96kHz audio. Connect to your computer or iOS device, and use the included Cubase LE software, Cubasis LE app, or your preferred DAW software. Independent controls for the USB playback channels allow you to blend USB audio with the Main Mix and Aux Mix separately.

GSPre Preamps:

This compact mixer features GSPre preamplifiers, designed by analog guru Mike Griffin and based on his renowned GS-R24 recording console. These preamps offer plenty of headroom and minimal noise, promising to deliver warm and deep audio. Whether podcasting or recording vocals for a music project, you can expect outstanding results from the ZEDi's GSPre preamps.

Direct Connection of Guitar and Bass:

Unlike many other compact mixers, the ZEDi doesn't require separate direct boxes to connect your guitar or bass. The first two channels feature switchable hi-Z inputs. Simply toggle the switch and connect any electric or acoustic-electric instruments. A low-cut filter helps reduce rumble and unwanted low frequencies, and a 2-band EQ enables you to shape your sound to taste.

The Allen & Heath ZEDi mixers offer excellent value for studio or stage use.
