Allen & Heath ZED-10 Reviews

solid board for webcasting

By Michael
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2020-02-23

I really like the separate phones/recording mute buttons. Really great for virtual podcasts/webcasts. Wish you could send independent channels through the USB interface instead of just left and right, but ultimately good enough for what I use it for.

question

Input to camra?
Asked by: Anonymous
The inputs are for a variety of devices. I've never plugged a camera into the mixer--I always plug the camera directly into my laptop--but you can take the output from the camera using an HDMI to RCA cable cord or other cord that will plug into the mixer.What I have done is use a crowd mic to capture surrounding video from whatever I'm filming rather than the camera audio. The crowd mic can be attached to a mic stand or set up in other ways to pick up the ambient sound.
