Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Thanks for the review man, I have question about MIDI recording. So can I play my MIDI keyboard thru this mixer only, with no usage of audio interface and have low latency?

A: Unfortunately the ZED-10FX isn't capable of receiving or transmitting MIDI information.  The USB interface on the console can only be used to record or playback up to 4 channels of audio. If your keyboard does produce audio, then yes, you could use one of the stereo 1/4" inputs on the console to record that audio signal via USB.

Q: 2. Which allen heath mixers of similar and also smaller size accept 100 to 240 volts?

A: The ZED 10 and the entire ZEDi series will accept 110 to 220 volts. You will need to change the shpe of the plug as it would come wth the US version.

Q: 3. Does this box provide clock as a leader?

A: No, the Allen & Heath DT20 Dante Input Interface with Power Supply does not provide any clock leader functionality.

Q: 4. Can I use this to mix audio from a conference (3 mics) and send into computer for video conferencing?

A: Yes you can use this Allen & Heath ZEDi-10 Compact Hybrid Mixer/USB Interface to mix audio from a conference (3 mics) and send into computer for video conferencing.

Q: 5. Would I be able to record 64 channels of multitrack audio at 96kHz with this card in the SQ?

A: The SQ mixers can only process up to 48 channels, so that would present a limitation. The Dante Virtual Soundcard is also not capable of 64x64 operation at 96 kHz, so the Allen & Heath SQ Dante Module for SQ Mixers and AHM-64 Audio Processor would not be able to be used in that particular way.

Q: 6. dose it have pad ? to Attenuate the signal ?

A: The Zedi 8 does not have any pad switches for the input level, but the model up, the Zedi 10 (B&H # ALZEDI10), does have Line/Pad switches on channels 3 and 4 which attenuate the input level by 20 dB.

Q: 7. Can i record 4 tracks simultaneously by usb?

A: With both USB Out Source Select buttons in the up position, channels 1 through 4 will output via USB. This is from the ZEDi-10 manual, describing how the USB interface section works: A built-in 4 in, 4 out, 24-bit/96kHz USB Audio Interface allows for studio-quality recording direct from your mixer to your PC without the need of any additional equipment. This is class-compliant (plug-and-play) for Mac and iOS devices. (iOS devices require a camera connection kit). Simply connect a USB cable between the USB port on the mixer and the USB port on your computer or device. For Windows systems, driver software must be installed in order for it to work. The latest drivers and documentation can be found at www.allen-heath.com/downloads 1. MONITOR OUT is an unbalanced stereo line level output using standard RCA phono sockets. This could be used for connecting to external equipment such as monitor speakers or a phones/ in-ear monitoring system. 2. USB connector is a Type-B USB connector for multi-channel bi-directional audio streaming between the mixer and a computer and follows the high speed USB 2.0 standard. 3. USB OUT SOURCE SELECT buttons allow you to chose where the signal to the outputs of the USB interface output is taken from. M1 - M2 - AUX - FX selects the USB OUT source from channels M1, M2 and the AUX and FX buss outputs and has priority over the default M1 - M2 - M3 - M4 source select. M1 - M2 - L - R selects the USB OUT source from channels M1, M2 & MAIN MIX and has priority over the M1 - M2 - AUX - FX source select switch. If neither of these buttons are selected the default channel USB OUT source is taken directly from channels M1 - M2 - M3 - M4. 4. ST2 and ST3 to AUX send control the level of signal sent to the AUX OUT. This is useful for routing USB IN 1-2 and USB IN 3-4 to the PHONES or MONITOR OUT 5. ST2 & ST3 MIX rotary faders control the volume of the USB IN 1-2 or USB IN 3-4 signals into the MAIN MIX respectively.

Q: 8. Can you output to speakers as well as laptop?

A: Yes, you can send the output from the ZEDi-8 to speakers using the left and right XLR main outputs and the USB output will connect to your computer.

Q: 9. does it have pad ? to Attenuate the signal

A: No, there is no dedicated pad switch on this mixer. However, Allen & Heath's GSPre preamp stage has a wide dynamic range of 5 to 60 dB and this provides exceptionally low noise and enough headroom to accommodate a wide range of signals. The mixer also features guitar DI high-impedance jack inputs allowing guitars to be plugged straight to the mixer without the need for separate DI boxes. A low-cut filter is also provided to clean-up unwanted low-frequency noise.

Q: 10. Can the usb support usb wireless mics?

A: Unfortunately this is not a supported function. If you were to plug a USB microphone directly into the USB port of the ZEDi-10FX, there would be no drivers available for either unit to function properly. Even though some USB devices can be plugged into some computers and function without any additional driver installations (typically computer's running macOS), the USB devices are still utilizing the computer's core audio drivers.
