Allen & Heath 11 ZED-12FX, 16FX & 22FX User Guide

INTRODUCTION TO THE ZED-12FX, 16FX & 22FX

The following is a technical overview of ZED, if you want to, please skip to the next section.

The Allen & Heath ZED series mixers have been carefully and lovingly designed in the beautiful county of Cornwall in the UK and is manu-
factured alongside a wide range of professional audio mixing consoles. Many of the components used in ZED are exactly the same as in the
larger Allen & Heath products and the construction methods are also very similar — utilising individual vertically mounted channel circuit
boards with each rotary control fixed with a metal nut to the front panel. This provides a very robust product that will resist damage and
give years of reliable use. It also makes servicing much easier should it be required, with the ability to remove one particular channel from
the mixer at a time, or easily change a fader.

The audio circuitry is based on years of continual development and refinement , the performance of all the elements within the mixer scruti-
nised and perfected to ensure the very best sound quality possible.

Multi-application:

ZED’s are great for live mixing! Their layout makes them very easy to use and the 100mm faders give much better control of the mix com-

pared to most products at a similar price.
They are also great for recording, either a live show or an audio project at home can be built up track by track and studio monitor speakers
can be fed from the Alt Outputs.
ZED mixers are also ideal for teaching establishments, houses of worship, hotels and conference centres where their ease of use and robust
qualities make them a top choice.

Mic/Line Pre-amps:

Based on the pre-amps from the PA series, the ZED-12FX, 16FX & 22FX pre-amps use a two stage design, with carefully controlled amounts
of gain in each stage. When amplifying the signal from the XLR input, the gain range is huge (69dB of range to be exact) and is very evenly
distributed around the gain control, meaning better control of signal level. Most of the gain comes from the first stage, so unwanted noise is
kept to a minimum. There is no “pad” switch, or pad circuit — line level signals are simply plugged into the second stage of the pre-amp by
using the line input jack socket. This has the great advantage of lower noise when using the line input. (It is common to attenuate line level
signals, the amplify them back up again which can give more noise or hiss).

EQ:

The ZED series mixers are equipped with a 3-band equaliser circuit on each mono input and a 2-band EQ on the stereo channels. The fre-
quency and response of each has been carefully chosen to give the maximum performance when using the EQ on a variety of sources.

AUX system:

Zed 12FX, 16FX & 22fX mixers have 4 Aux buses. 3 are used for connecting external equipment such as foldback stage monitors, or exter-
nal effects processors, and one is used for the internal effects processor.

Effects Processor:

Zed-12FX, 16FX & 22FX mixers have a professional quality effects processor built in which uses our own effects algorithms developed by
our talented engineering staff at Allen & Heath. The effects range from classic reverbs, cascaded delay plus reverbs to shimmering flanger &
chorus effects. The different effects types are selected with a simple up/down button interface and the tempo of the delay settings can be
entered using the TAP button. Holding the TAP button allows the parameters of the effects to be adjusted. The audio signal to the DSP is
converted using 24 bit high dynamic range converters running at 48kHz sample rate, ensuring low noise, low distortion, transparent effects.

Zenith was one of the pioneers of the modern remote control. This remote was called the Lazy Bones and used a wire to connect to the television. As a matter of fact, Zenith had the first model designed to work with a tv. Zenith cl015 remote control manual download for pc. The Flash-Matic was the first wireless remote control, and it worked by flashing a light that was then picked up by a photoelectric cell within the television.

Mono and Stereo Channels:

One of the great things about the ZED series is the number and variety of things you can plug in. In addition to the mono channels there are
three stereo channels, each with a main stereo input on jack sockets, two of them have the ability to take additional stereo inputs from
phono sockets, the third can take the USB audio input. Flexibility gives you control.

USB:

Getting audio to and from a computer easily is now a common requirement for live sound and music production. The way we have imple-
mented this on ZED is super-flexible and super-easy! No longer do you need to fiddle around the back of your computer to get to the

soundcard inputs, only to find that the levels are all wrong and noisy. Just plug in a USB lead to your ZED, select the USB routing on the
mixer and the device on your computer and that’s it! Quality audio to and from your PC or MAC.
