With optimized connectivity, MusiQ-fitted equalization, built-in guitar DI, and more, the ZED-10 delivers the tools you need to ensure you sound your best. Designed to make your live sound and music production seamless, the ZED-10 comes with configurable USB audio inputs and outputs. No need to install external soundcards—just plug in a USB lead and select USB routing on the mixer to get started right away at your recording. This feature gives you CD-quality audio to and from your Mac or PC, while switches and connections via the mixer’s jack socket terminals offer a variety of send/return options.

The ZED-10 comes with a responsive 3-band, swept mid-frequency EQ design at uses MusiQ. Its optimized slope (Q factor) allows you to precision-equalize individual instruments in your band.

Guitarists can dispense with the extra DI box and plug their instrument directly into the ZED-10 using its designated high-impedance inputs (inputs 3 and 4) that are compatible with normal line levels or the low-level inputs from guitar pickups. The resulting sound replicates classic guitar or instrument tube preamps. Use the gain “Boost” switch for instruments with very low-level outputs.

Rounding out the ZED-10’s connectivity options are 2 stereo inputs for MP3/CD players or keyboards, as well as professional XLR stereo outputs and a versatile monitoring section that lets you plug in a headphone and/or speakers to listen to your sound however you prefer.
