Desk has great functionality, particularly the 4x4 usb connection...can finally record kick, snare and a couple of overheads at the same time! The unit is robustly made...meets expected Allen & Heath standards.
Really nice with an iPad and Auria Pro app. I can record my guitar and vocals duo on four separate tracks with condenser mics on the vocals and get a really nice monitor mix while I do it. This a great tracking mixer of you are on a laptop or an iPad.
I purchased the product because I need to record meditations from a class I teach each month. When I recorded from my mp3 recorder or directly to the computer, the sound did not come out as I wanted. With the Zed-10 the sound is pristine.
I'm very glad I made this purchase which has been a useful and practical enhancement to gigs that I used to play acoustically. Sounds nice and very user friendly.
I do home studio mixing and this unit is very nice looking and performs smoothly.
Haven't had a chance to use the unit. It is very well designed. The layout is excellent. The size and weight are perfect for studio as well as live performance.
Perfect amount of technology without being overall complicated
It's was my first mixer and I'm super happy with this product it's very simple to use and it has a great sence of durability
Excellent compact mixer with a good range of features
Product turned up very fast. Very happy with the mixer. Fits my needs perfectly
