Control, mix, and route audio signals through professional audio systems with the Dynacord MXE5 Matrix Mix Engine, an open architecture audio matrix and system controller with professional sound quality, Dante network, and AES70/OCA control. The MXE5 is designed for fixed and live audio installations such as stadiums, arenas, houses of worship, concert halls, theaters, and other applications that require high-performance multichannel audio system controllers with sophisticated signal processing and networking.

The performance audio matrix with 12 analog mic/line inputs, 8 line outputs and 24x24 Dante channels provides configurable matrix blocks with up to 3840 cross-points and up to 256 internal signal-paths. The configuration allows the choice between a fixed or a free DSP configuration. At the same time, the MXE5 serves as a control center and communications hub for system devices and IP-based peripherals, providing comprehensive supervision of system-wide commands. The MXE5 ships with a set of Euroblock connectors and a power cord.

• 12 mic/line inputs, 8 line outputs, 8 configurable GPIOs
• 24x24 OMNEO/Dante channels
• Task Engine for sophisticated system control and integration
• Integrated into SONICUE Sound System software

MXE5 benefits from advanced DSP and latest technology, providing outstanding audio quality. This is ensured by an internal sampling rate of 96 kHz (switchable to 48 kHz), more than 118 dB of dynamic range and the industry's lowest audio latency of less than 0.22 ms.

MXE5 is designed for consultants, specifiers, system integrators and production companies who demand the highest-quality audio and uncompromising live performance sound.

MXE5 integrates seamlessly with Dynacord's SONICUE Sound System Software, one of the most powerful software interfaces in the industry. It offers comprehensive control and easy, intuitive operation. SONICUE allows the design of customized control panels running on TPC-1, WPN1, or network computers utilizing the SONICUE Control app. MXE5 also features plug-ins for Crestron and Q-SYS systems.

MXE5 offers a variety of functions beyond being a powerful DSP processor and cross point matrix. MXE's Task Engine is a freely programmable logic engine that transforms it into a sophisticated system manager and an OCA controller with comprehensive monitoring and supervision capabilities.

Q: 1. Can I use this alongside a wired ethernet connection to a WAN?

A: there should be no interference running this alomg side wired ethernet or even power cables.

Q: 2. Can you buy additional receivers to this system?

A: Additional receivers are available for the Williams Sound FM 557 Pro Wi-Fi, Dual FM, and Dante Assistive Listening System (BH # WIFM557PROD). Williams Sound PPA R37 N Select Channel FM Receiver (No Earphone/Batteries), BH # WIPPAR37N.

Q: 3. 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.

Q: 4. I see full mix control for Str input 1 and mix control fot St 3. Is there no trim control for Str input 2?

A: Yes, there is no trim control for the ST2 input on the Allen & Heath ZEDi-10FX Compact Hybrid Mixer/USB Interface (with On-Board Effects Engine).

Q: 5. 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: 6. Is this compatible with online karaoke subscription services?

A: No, this is intended to be used with discs only; DVD, DivX, VCD, CD+G, MP3, and CD.

Q: 7. Can the mix in the usb out of the ZEDi10 FX replace my iOS camera mic for live streaming? I have been using an Apple camera connector cable with no luck so far.

A: Yes, you can use the usb out for streaming. ZEDi can be used like an interface in DAWs as well recording individual channels. To my knowledge, OBS only supports a stereo sum of a usb audio signal. If that’s still the case, you could use a ZED10fx if your intent is only for streaming and not recording. The usb put on the ZED10fx sums to stereo over usb

Q: 8. Hosa Technology GPP290 Monaural Male 1/4" Phone to Stereo Female 1/4" Phone Adapter Can the above adapter be used to insert headphones into the adapter re the Zedi 10 FX's "aux out" quarter inch jack? Would this, notwithstanding the need for a converter, to convert line level signal to headphones level signal, work? If headphones are inserted into the aux out jack directly, the result is audio in the left ear only.

A: First, let's make clear that headphone signal is line level and headphone outputs typically use a stereo connector. The aux output on the Allen & Heath ZEDi-10FX is sending a mono line level output signal via a 1/4" TS (mono) jack, so that is why you only hear audio through the left side of your headphones when you connect the stereo plug to the mono output. The Hosa Technology GPP290 Monaural Male 1/4" Phone to Stereo Female 1/4" Phone Adapter (B&H # HOAPMSPF) will convert the stereo plug on your headphones to mono and that will allow you to hear mono audio through both sides of you headphones (same audio through both sides) when you connect the stereo headphones to the mixer's mono aux output. If you need to connect two sets of stereo headphones to the ZEDi-10FX, a better option would be to use a stereo splitter connected to the mixer's headphone output. The Hosa Technology 1/4" Male to Two 1/4" Female Y-Cable (B&H # HOYCSPM2SPF) will allow you to connect two sets of stereo headphones without sacrificing tone, volume or stereo separation. If you need to accommodate more than two sets of headphones, the best option is to use a separate headphone amplifier connected to the mixer's headphone jack. The Polsen HMA-41 4-Channel Stereo Headphone Amplifier (B&H # POHMA41) or the Mackie HM-4 4-Way Headphones Amplifier (B&H # MAHM4) are good options for this purpose. The headphone amplifier will give each user their own headphone jack as well as an individual volume control to set the volume level for their headphones fas desired.
