ALLEN & HEATH ZEDI-8 GSPre - 2 in mono, 2 stereo, USB

A&H has brought all these principles together to produce the ZED series, a range of competitively priced mixers dedicated to musicians and sound engineers who want to enjoy mixing, and do so on the same console for many years to come. The features available on ZED consoles are far superior to those usually found at this price level. With ZEDs, you're assured of an excellent mixing solution wherever you are, on stage, in the studio, or even at home.

The new ZED mixers have been designed for musicians, singers, songwriters or venues seeking the audio and manufacturing qualities for which Allen & Heath products are renowned, in a compact, portable format. They are versatile tools for laying down compositional ideas at home, recording live gigs or tracks you want to share on the net. They feature the new GSPre preamps, originally developed for the GSR-24 studio console and highly praised by the specialist press. These preamps guarantee extremely low noise and massive headroom, with the warmth and depth characteristic of analog circuit behavior. Guitarists will be delighted to discover that they feature two high-impedance guitar inputs that allow you to plug your instrument directly into the mixer. So there's no need to go through an external D.I. to record your instrument's direct signal.
