About this item
- The compact ZED range of mixers feature the same high-level audio and build quality as A&H’s large format touring consoles, with separate internal channel boards, Neutrik connectors and every pot fixed to the chassis.
- GS-Pre XLR microphone preamps, developed from those featured in the highly acclaimed GS-R24 studio console, these provide exceptionally low noise, massive headroom and plenty of clean gain for a full, warm sound that brings the best out of any microphone. Two HiZ connections also allow direct connection of high impedance sources such as electric, electro-acoustic or bass guitars and most clip or stick-on pickups for acoustic instruments, without the need for a separate DI box.
- A 100Hz High Pass Filter on every mono input allows unneeded low frequencies to be removed, then the 3-band MusiQ EQ uses carefully selected frequencies to ensure your sound sculpting is always musical. Cut or boost high, mids and lows to get the tone you’re after without the fear of going wrong!
- Quick switch monitoring options paired with a clear powerful headphone amplifier originally developed for XONE DJ mixers, ensure you can monitor exactly what you need to, when you need to and with any headphones.
- A built-in, high quality, 96kHz 4x4 USB interface makes it easy to capture or stream the whole mix or individual channels with ease. With options to route Aux and FX sends it can even be used to add FX and processing from a computer. It’s also class compliant and does not require drivers, meaning not just Mac and Windows computers can be connected, but also many mobile devices such as tablets or even smart phones.
- 4 x Mic/Line Inputs, 2 x Stereo ( 2 Left, 2 Right), 2 USB Audio

From the manufacturer
ROAD TOUGH
Designed and Built to Last
All ZED mixers are designed and built to Allen & Heath’s legendary touring grade standards to ensure a long life in the toughest environments. All channels are on individual, vertical circuit boards and all rotary controls are secured to the front panel with a steel nut to guard against impact damage.
Made for Guitars
ZEDi series mixers come with two Guitar DI high impedance jack inputs, allowing guitars to be plugged straight into the mixer without the need for DI boxes. That’s one less piece of gear to buy, carry and set up.
MIXER + USB INTERFACE
ZEDi series mixers offer the best of both worlds, incorporating a studio quality 24-bit/96kHz USB audio interface for hassle-free multitrack recording and playback to/from a Mac or PC, or to an iOS device using the iOS camera kit. The USB output source can be set up in several different ways to match your workflow.

Aside from being mostly easy to set up (you do need to download their drivers, and the URL in the included instructions was wrong as of June 2021, should be: https://www.allen-heath.com/ahproducts/zedi-8/ ), the sound quality is shockingly good. I had expected it to be slightly better than the Xenyx, but in a "if you listen closely you can tell the difference" kind of way, because I'm using it at home, not under the ideal conditions of a recording studio. I figured the background noises from computer fans and poorly insulated walls would dwarf the quality differences between mixers. I was very, very wrong. I had always liked and been happy with the Xenyx, but now I realize I never knew how good I could have had it.
The ZEDi-8 was much better than the Xenyx, even for working in a home office that is not well insulated for audio work. The noise floor on the ZEDi-8 is so incredibly low, the dynamic range gave me about 8-10 dB more range compared to the Xenyx. I could turn up the gain so noise was at about -70dB and then speaking in a normal voice would drive up to about -12dB. That's 58dB of dynamic range (vs. 48-50 with the Xenyx) without even trying! I suspect with effort, I'll improve that further. That's a HUGE difference and easily detectable even to the casual ear.
I think the main reason is not the 24-bit connection (though that might help some), but just a unit that physically produces very little electronic noise. Amazing. I highly recommend it, at least for spoken voice work (but these same benefits should apply to music too).
Many high-end features such as channel inserts, individual channel mutes, and channel faders have been left out, but their absence isn’t really noticed in a home studio context. The features it does include such as AUX and FX busses, DI on 2 inputs, and built-in effects work fabulously.
Gripes? Very minor ones. While the unit connects perfectly to iOS devices, it does not charge them while in use. Also, there is no Mute function on the Main XLR outputs, so if you want to use the onboard Monitor outputs to drive a second set of reference monitors to check the mix, you’ll have to turn off your main monitors manually or use an external monitor controller to mute them ($60-$100 for a decent passive unit). As it is, I use the monitor outputs to drive a headphone distribution unit.
For small live setups, home studio use, podcasting, or streaming, I can’t recommend the ZEDi-10FX enough, it’s a fantastic unit. It’s solid and well-built, and above all sounds great!

- USB interface to iOS devices is quirky and intermittently just doesn't work. In the beginning, I thought I must be doing something wrong with connectivity to iPhone and iPad using Cubasis and GarageBand, but I realize there are just times when you plug in the USB and the mixer just isn't recognized, or (worse) is recognized and listed as a device you can select, but just doesn't pass audio data. It is worse for outputs than for inputs.
- BIGGEST PROBLEM: the only thing that is very confusing about this mixer is the routing of USB audio output into the FX channel, which essentially means you can use the FXs or USB audio out (in to the mixer), but not both. Routing from USB outputs (input to the mixer) to the headphones and monitor is obtuse, confusing, and error-prone. Every time I use this, I have to figure it out again since it is not logical.
USB is obviously an afterthought on this mixer, but if you care about audio quality and not intuitive and obvious DAW workflow as highest priority, then this mixer is just fine. If you are primarily looking for an intuitive audio gateway into/out of your DAW (e.g., as a podcast control station), I don't think this is the best. For me, instrument recording quality and flexibility of configuration on the audio side is more important, so I can recommend it.
Build quality and controls are excellent and feel great. Preamp functionality is very flexible.
