Allen & Heath ZEDi-10FX Hybrid Compact Mixer/4x4 USB Interface with FX

Product Information

The ZEDi10FX also features a built-in effects engine, boasting a brand new suite of studio quality reverbs and delays, painstakingly crafted to enhance your recordings and performances. Special multi-model effects provide uniquely dynamic combinations of reverbs and delays. Features I connected the ZED10 FX to my MacBook Pro and it was recognised instantly as a class‑compliant USB audio device, so no drivers were required. However, Allen & Heath suggest trying the third‑party ASIO4ALL driver if you're experiencing any problems on a PC (not that you should be!).

As the name suggests, the ZED10 FX is a 10‑channel mixer with onboard effects, but it also includes a stereo USB audio interface, capable of 24‑bit, 48kHz conversion, along with some useful routing options, which I'll discuss later. Also bundled with the mixer is a free version of IK Multimedia's X‑Gear amp and cabinet modelling software, which offers a few very good-quality models, and is arguably a more useful addition than the usual cut‑down DAW software.The first two channels also offer a “ guitar mode,” which basically engages high impedance inputs, which cuts out the need to bring your own DIs on the road. The other two channels replace the guitar mode button with a Line/Pad button — one that cuts the input level by a handy 20dB. Directly under those buttons, on all four channels, you’ll get a low cut filter, which sits at around 100Hz.

Guitarists will be pleased to know that ZEDi-10FX comes with a pair of Guitar DI high impedance inputs, allowing guitars to be plugged straight into the mixer without the hassle and expense of carrying separate DI boxes. Preamp design from Soundcraft, effects from Lexicon, and Dynamics from dbx: that sounds like an enticing compact mixer. Especially since the Soundcraft Signature 12 MTK is generally not expensive at the friendly music equipment dealer. It even has a 14-channel, bidirectional USB interface on board.

I currently use it as my main audio interface in my little studio, and it works well enough for that. As an interface it's not as user friendly as the scarlett suite, but it makes up for it in versatility.
