Allen & Heath ZED-16FX
The Allen & Heath ZED-16FX is built for groups and engineers who need to travel light without giving up real routing control, solid faders, and musical EQ. It’s a compact mixer that fits naturally at the center of a small live rig, and it also makes a lot of sense in the studio when you want hands-on mixing with simple USB recording.
With 10 mono mic/line channels and 3 stereo channels, the ZED-16FX gives you enough inputs for a full band setup—vocals, guitars, keys, tracks—without feeling oversized. You also get Allen & Heath’s DuoPre mic preamps with a wide 69dB gain range, plus a responsive 3-band EQ design with MusiQ for quick, natural sound shaping on the fly.
As an authorized dealer, Pro Audio Reserve ensures you receive a genuine Allen & Heath mixer backed by full manufacturer warranty and long-term support.
A Lightweight Rig Center That Still Feels Pro
The Allen & Heath ZED-16FX is designed to be the “bring-it-everywhere” mixer for small groups, venues, and hire companies. You get 10 mono mic/line channels for your core inputs, plus 3 stereo channels for keys, playback, or stereo sources—so the setup stays clean and organized even when you’re moving fast.
Built-In FX That Polishes a Mix Quickly
ZED-16FX includes 16 internal time-delay effects—reverbs, delays, chorus-style textures—built specifically for small rigs that don’t want to haul an external effects unit. Controls are simple and performance-friendly, with tap tempo support and quick parameter access so you can dial in the right space on vocals or set a delay that sits in tempo without slowing down the set.
Flexible USB Audio for Simple Stereo Capture
Getting audio in and out of a computer is plug-and-play with the ZED-16FX. The USB (2 x 2) connection supports multiple send options—including routing from the main mix or selected aux buses—so you can capture a stereo recording, feed playback back into the mixer, or build a simple record/monitor loop without noisy interface workarounds.
