Exhibiting in Hall 8.0 on Stand C22, Allen & Heath will be launching the ZED60-10FX, a new mixer based on the top-selling ZED-10FX with the addition of premium quality 60mm faders.
The ZED60-10FX is a compact, portable mixer for solo artists and small bands. Two of the four mono channels have high impedance jack inputs that can take a normal line level or a low level input from a guitar pickup, so guitars can be plugged straight into the mixer without the need for DI boxes. Two stereo inputs are provided for MP3/CD players or keyboards, and the mixer is equipped with configurable USB audio in/out to capture a stereo recording, XLR main stereo outputs, a flexible monitoring section with headphone and speaker feed outputs, and 16 high quality digital effects developed from the iLive digital mixing system.
Also on display from the ZED range will be the recently released ZED-16FX and ZED-18, each with 10 fully-featured mono channels and 3 or 4 dual stereo channels, respectively.
The focal point of the stand will be Allen & Heath's hotly anticipated GLD, a "user-friendly, cost effective and scalable live digital mixing system, conceptually based on the hugely successful digital iLive series". A standard GLD 32 input system offers 28 XLR mic inputs with plug n' play I/O expanders allowing easy expansion up to 48 inputs (44 XLR mic inputs).
The latest models from the Xone DJ range - the Xone:DB2 digital mixer and Xone:K2 MIDI controller - will also be demonstrated.
