Allen & Heath ZED10
Compact multipurpose console with USB I/O
Proving that good things come in small packages, Allen & Heath's Zed10 crams a bunch of awesomeness into a little (34 x 28 x 10cm) space, that weighs in at just 3.2kg. It's ideal for small band as a live performance mixer, or in your video editing suite, or for a home studio. Aside from the 4 x XLR microphone inputs...here are a few choice features:
"The flexibility and quality of these mixers make them stand out from the crowd. You can plug your guitars or instruments straight into the class A discrete FET high impedance inputs, cater for up to four microphones, two stereo sources with MP3 player compatibility, separate 2-track record outputs and a stereo playback input for 2-track replay or perhaps interval music from a CD player, XLR main stereo outputs with inserts, comprehensive monitoring with headphones and separate monitor speaker outputs, 48V microphone phantom power, and DI level switching for sub mixing"
Sounds like a lot of hype, but Zed10 really is a ripper little mixer. Simple as that. And should you wish to choose a model with on-board effects, Zed10FX is the one for you!
