Product Description
The ZED-12 FX is a flexible compact mixer with USB and an internal effects processor, to be used mainly for a home studio, project recordings or as reinforcement for small live performances. It features 12 inputs of which 6 are mono channels for mic/line and 3 are stereo channels with stereo-paired ¼” phone connectors for devices such as keyboards, recorders, effects, etc. The mono inputs have three-band EQ and high quality mic preamps. Inserts on all mono channels and stereo output give flexibility in routing and the control over added processors, monitors, etc. A pair of balanced XLR connectors is fitted on the main output section. The internal effects processor gives a great deal of delay and reverb effects with a dedicated return channel for flexible effects level control. Its USB connector plus the SONAR LE software are for direct integration with Mac or PC.
