Allen & Heath ZED-12FX 12-Channel Multipurpose USB Mixer with E...
The Allen & Heath ZED-12FX 12-Channel USB Mixer with Effects is designed for live sound, recording, and portable setups. It combines microphone preamps, built-in effects, and USB connectivity in a compact format, making it suitable for small groups and creators who need flexible audio control.
DuoPre Microphone Preamps
Equipped with DuoPre XLR preamps that provide up to 69 dB of gain and 48V phantom power. The dual-stage design delivers consistent signal control and supports both dynamic and condenser microphones, including high-gain models.
MusiQ EQ and High Pass Filter
Each mono channel includes a 100 Hz high-pass filter to remove unwanted low frequencies. The 3-band MusiQ EQ with swept mids allows precise adjustment of vocals and instruments, helping shape a balanced mix.
Built-In Multi-FX Processor
Includes 16 effects such as reverb, delay, and modulation. The FX engine is developed in-house and features tap tempo for timing control, reducing the need for external processors.
USB Audio Interface
Features stereo in/out USB connectivity for recording and playback. It supports class-compliant operation, allowing connection to computers and mobile devices without installing drivers.
Flexible Input and Routing
Provides 6 mic inputs, 6 line/instrument inputs, and stereo channels, along with auxiliary sends and FX return. This allows multiple sources to be connected and managed in one mixer.
Compact and Rack-Mountable Design
Built for portability with an optional rack ear kit for installation in a 19-inch rack or flight case, making it suitable for mobile and fixed setups.
