Allen & Heath ZED-24 Small-Format 24-Channel Analog Mixer with USB Connection

The Allen & Heath ZED-24 is a small-format, 24-channel analog mixer offering versatile I/O and a user-friendly workflow for use in home and project studio recording, houses of worship, and live sound reinforcement. The 16 mono channels feature Neutrik XLR mic and 1/4" line inputs, DuoPre preamps with phantom power and bountiful gain, 1/4" insert points, and 3-band EQ, while the four stereo channels have 1/4" inputs and 2-band EQ. All channels are equipped with long-throw 100mm faders, solo and mute buttons, and independent aux send knobs. The four aux sends are ideal for routing to floor monitors and outboard time-based effects. A USB 1.1 port delivers 2-channel send and return capabilities via a Mac or Windows computer. There are stereo and mono main outputs in addition to alt and headphone outputs, and dual 12-segment LED meters that clearly indicate your master output level. Patch additional stereo sources into the RCA stereo return and 2-track inputs, then route them to the stereo bus, or mix them into the stereo channels. The stereo RCA output is handy for recording your mix to an external device such as a cassette deck or computer soundcard. 16 Mono Inputs There are 16 mono input channels with Neutrik connectors—XLR for balanced mic signals, and 1/4" for balanced/unbalanced line-level sources Four Stereo Inputs The four stereo input channels feature 1/4" connectors to accommodate stereo devices such as keyboards, synth modules, and external effects processors Flexible EQ Section All mono channels feature 3-band EQ with sweepable midrange, while the stereo channels offer 2-band EQ Inserts Inserts on all mono channels and the stereo output provide easy integration of analog outboard gear such as hardware compressors and equalizers Independent Aux Sends Four mono aux sends with independent level controls allow versatile signal routing to floor monitors and external effects processors USB Connection A USB 1.1 port allows direct connection to Mac and Windows computers for stereo audio I/O Flexible Outputs The ZED-24 offers balanced XLR stereo main outputs, a 1/4" mono main output, 1/4" and 3.5mm stereo headphone outputs, and a source-selectable stereo alt output Specs Allen & Heath ZED-24 Specs Total # Of Inputs 24 Mic/Line Inputs 16 x 3-Pin XLR Female Mic Inputs (Balanced)16 x 1/4" TRS Line Inputs (Balanced/Unbalanced) Stereo Line Inputs 8 x 1/4" TRS Line Inputs (Four Stereo Pairs, Balanced/Unbalanced) In-Line Inputs/Returns No Aux Sends 4 x 1/4" TRS Mono (Balanced) Aux Returns 2 x RCA Coaxial Line Inputs (One Stereo Pair, Unbalanced) Inserts 16 x 1/4" TRS on Mono Channels (Unbalanced)2 x 1/4" TRS on Stereo Bus (Unbalanced) BUS (Group) Outputs No Main Outputs 2 x 3-Pin XLR Male (One Stereo Pair, Balanced)1 x 1/4" TRS Mono (Balanced) Monitor Outputs 2 x RCA Coaxial Alt Outputs (One Stereo Pair, Unbalanced)1 x 1/4" TRS Stereo Headphone Output (Unbalanced)1 x 1/8" / 3.5 mm TRS Stereo Headphone Output (Unbalanced) 2-Track I/O 2 x RCA Coaxial 2-Track Input (One Stereo Pair, Unbalanced)2 x RCA Coaxial 2-Track Output (One Stereo Pair, Unbalanced) ALT I/O 1 x USB Type-B (2-Channel Send/Return) EQ Section High (All Channels): ±15 dB at 12 kHzMid (Mono Channels): ±15 dB at Selectable Frequency (120 Hz to 4 kHz, Sweepable)Low (All Channels): ±15 dB at 80 Hz High-Pass Filter 12 dB/Octave at 100 Hz, Switchable Solo/Mute Mute and PFL Solo Channel Level Control 100 mm Fader Trim/Gain Control Rotary Control Gain Range Mic Inputs: -6 to +63 dBLine Inputs: -10 to +26 dBStereo Inputs: -∞ to +10 dBFaders: -∞ to +10 dBReturns: -∞ to +10 dBAux Masters: -∞ to +6 dBAlt Out: -∞ to +6 dB Phantom Power +48 VDC, Globally Selectable Metering Dual 12-Segment LEDsPeak LED per Channel USB Specification USB 1.1 Compliant Bit Depth USB: 16-Bit Sample Rates USB: 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz Nominal Input Level Mic Input: -63 to +6 dBuMono Line Input: -26 to +10 dBuStereo Line Input: 0 dBu (+10 dB with Control Off)Insert Point: 0 dBu Maximum Input Level Mic Input: +17 dBuMono Line Input: +30 dBuInsert Point: +21 dBu Nominal Output Level 0 dBu Maximum Output Level +21 dBu Frequency Response Mic In to Main Out (30 dB Gain): 20 Hz to 20 kHz (+0.5 dB, -1 dB)Line In to Main Out (0 dB Gain): 10 Hz to 30 kHz (+0.5 dB, -1 dB)Stereo In to Main Out: 10 Hz to 30 kHz (+0.5 dB, -1 dB) THD + N Mic In to Main Out (0 dB Gain, 1 kHz, +10 dBu Out): 0.004%Mic In to Main Out (30 dB Gain, 1 kHz): 0.014%Line In to Main Out (0 dB Gain, 1 kHz, 0 dBu): 0.005%Stereo In to Main Out (0 dB Gain, 1 kHz, +10 dBu): 0.003% Headroom Analog Headroom from Nominal (0 VU): 21 dBUSB In and Out Headroom from Nominal (0 VU): 14 dB Noise Mic Pre EIN: -127 dBu (Maximum Gain, 150-Ohm Input, 22 Hz to 22 kHz)Main Out: -84 dBu (L/R Faders at 0, 22 Hz to 22 kHz) Power Consumption 40 W Maximum Power Requirements 100 to 240 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz Dimensions 25.4 x 3.9 x 18.3" / 64.5 x 9.8 x 46.5 cm Weight 23.1 lb / 10.5 kg Packaging Info Package Weight 27.3 lb Box Dimensions (LxWxH) 31 x 25 x 10"
