4-bus mixer for live sound and recording from ZED series that is excellent for bands, houses of worship, theatres or AV applications. It has a truly professional feature set, which will fit any sound reinforcement application and professional PA hire stock, featuring configurable USB audio in/out which makes it easy to capture stereo recordings, 32 mic or line inputs (Neutrik XLR and 6.3mm jacks) plus 2 dual stereo inputs with 4-band EQ with MusiQ, 4 sub-groups, 6 auxiliary sends and a 7×2 matrix. The tuned 4-band EQ is taken from the acclaimed GL2200 mixer and utilises MusiQ with optimised slope (or Q factor) for equalising individual instruments. Based on the proven pre-amps from the hugely successful PA series, the mixer has DuoPre pre-amps, which use a two stage design, with carefully controlled amounts of gain in each stage. When amplifying the signal from the XLR input, the gain range is huge – 69dB of range to be exact – and is very evenly distributed around the gain control, meaning better control of signal level. Most of the gain comes from the first stage, so unwanted noise is kept to a minimum. Line level signals are simply plugged into the second stage of the pre-amp by using the line input jack socket, which has the great advantage of less noise when using the line input and also matching to higher input impedance. Other features include an illuminated mute control, sound image pan, illuminated PFL & peak warning indicator, ALPS 100mm faders, 12 bar meters, individual channel with 48V phantom power, direct output on every mono channel and peak and signal indication on every channel.
