Allen & Heath ZEDi-10FX
Overview
The Allen & Heath ZEDi-10FX is a compact hybrid mixer and USB audio interface that delivers the refined British audio quality Allen and Heath is renowned for in a portable format designed for gigging musicians, podcasters, and small studio operators. The mixer features four GSPre microphone preamps, the same preamp design found in Allen and Heath's larger professional consoles, providing warm, detailed amplification with generous headroom and low noise that flatters vocals and acoustic instruments. The three-band EQ on each channel is voiced with the musical, natural character that has defined Allen and Heath's sound for decades, with a carefully tuned mid frequency that addresses the most common tonal problems encountered in live and recording settings. The built-in effects processor provides 16 presets including halls, plates, rooms, and modulation effects with a dedicated send and return level control. The integrated 4x4 USB interface operates at 24-bit/96kHz and supports multitrack recording of individual channels, making it a genuine recording tool rather than just a live mixer with USB tacked on. A dedicated headphone output with independent level control facilitates monitoring. The ZEDi-10FX is excellent for singer-songwriters, acoustic performers, and content creators who need premium sound quality in a lightweight, portable package. The compact four-preamp design limits its usefulness for larger ensembles, and the small fader size requires careful adjustment.
