Allen & Heath ZED-6FX Overview

Designed to bring the signature Allen & Heath sensibility to a compact and portable frame, the ZED-6FX is a six-input analog mixer with an internal effects engine that sports reverb, delay, chorusing, and tap-tempo functionality. Solo musicians, lectures, and small bands alike can find this unit suitable for modest venues, hotels, churches, and schools.

The ZED-6FX is crafted with preamps modeled on the Allen & Heath GS2-R24, and, as such, aims to provide low noise, warmth, and a vast expanse of headroom. On-board two-band MusiQ EQs also come standard with the unit, as well as 48V phantom power for the two mic inputs. Guitar players using the ZED-6FX need not lug an extra DI box around, as the unit features two high-impedance guitar inputs. Channels three and four host dual 1/4" stereo line-level inputs.

You can monitor the outputs of the mixer either through headphones or through two XLR outputs, utilizing an eight-LED meter all the while. If you'd like to hear a sound source before placing it within the audible mix, simply press the PFL button located at the bottom of each channel strip.

  • 2x Stereo inputs with TRS jack sockets
  • 2x Guitar DI high-impedance inputs, eliminating the need for DI boxes

Allen & Heath ZED-6FX Reviews

Great Mixer for My Small Studio

By Sam
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-09-16

I have a MOTU M2 interface and this mixer expands that unit's capabilities for me nicely. I've got all my gear connected and ready to use. Just this evening I finished my first recording project for my video production work. Let me say that I have some experience with home recording gear, having had four different setups through the years and this mixer is one of the best units that I've owned. Good job Allen and Heath.

The Very Best of this type mixer

By John

There are several analog mixers of this type on the market (in this price range) - and I feel this is (by far) the best of the lot. The layout is well thought out and exceptionally easy to see and use (particularly since the unit does not lie flat like other models). Ditto for the design and color coding of the controls. Sound quality is exceptional (no coloration at all that I can detect) - and the FX section is (again) well thought out and very professional in labeling and use...and it has a satisfying array of effects to choose from. This is a user, the rest just look like it.
