The ZED22 FX is the perfect center to your live rig, and it’s also ready to rock in the studio. First of all, the Allen & Heath ZED22 FX gives you all the connections you need to hook up a small band, duo, or solo performer. Thanks to the 16 mic/line channels you can connect all the mics and DI boxes you need. Plus you’ve got three dual stereo channels available, each with a gain and 2 band EQ control. Allen & Heath definitely know mixers. And their ZED series is super popular for a number of reasons, not the least of which because it puts first class A&H quality at a new affordable price point. We’ve already mentioned a bit about the I/O capabilities, but you’ll also want to know that it has four aux sends available – 1 and 2 are prefade and 3 and 4 are post fade for monitoring with effects. Here’s the magic. You can send a stereo signal from the auxes via USB right to your computer, so you can create two separate record feeds that are totally independent of the main L/R mix. The ZED22 FX is Mac and PC compatible and you’ve got three send/return configurations for recording, playback, and external FX. That’s a lot of power.

Now for the effects. Onboard, 16 separate effects , ready for any kind of live sound material you face. These include a number of useful delays and reverbs, including a ping pong delay and a selection of reverbs with different room/hall/arena properties. Plus a flanger and chorus. Every effect has a parameter you can tweak to dial in your sound and five of the effects support tap tempo

All in all, with the combination of mic/line inputs (and these preamps are awesome, by the way), professional effects, recording capabilities, and bullet proof construction, you can’t go wrong with the Allen & Heath ZED22 FX. Get one!
