Zed10 (without the effects) just arrived
We're big on the mixers this week. Actually, to be a little more accurate, we're big on little mixers this week. Already there has been heaps of interest in the newly released Zed10FX (more here in a previous blog post), and now we've just received a nice shipment of Zed10 - without the in-built effects module.
Of course, the major bonus of not including the effects in this mixer is to keep down the cost down if you don't need effects. This makes Zed10 even more attractive for the stay-in-studio situation.
So for you post production suite or home studio environment, take a closer look at this little ripper. There's a pic here, one here, and another nice one here.

What a seriously great little mixer, the new ZED10FX. Awesome for so many reasons. What's your favourite feature? How about the inserts points over main L & R XLR outputs (which, by the way, have a very handy -30dB pad switch of you're using this as a sub-mixer). Separate stereo RCA outputs for Record out and Monitor out. 1 x dedicated Aux, 1 x FX Send (with excellent on-board digial effects, which can be wound easily into the Aux should you want some nice delay and 'verb in your foldback speakers).
Enough about the outputs though, how's the input section! 4 x XLR mic channels with 3-band eq (sweepable mid) and channels 3 & 4 have the very cool feature of a switchable input for using the line inputs as Hi Z guitar DI. Each of the 4 mono and 2 stereo channels AND the FX channel can be sent (by the press of a button) to the Record Bus, which in turn can be sent out of the USB port (or go old school and use the RCA outputs). And there is a playback input for left and right, with dedicated level control down near your monitoring control section. Just about anything is routable just about anywhere in this section. Seriously, it's an awesome little mixer. Come in for a closer look (or just enlarge the pic for the look-but-don't-touch experience)
