Allen & Heath ZED60-14FX Overview

The ZED60-14FX Live and Studio Mixer from Allen & Heath is a 10-channel mixer with 16 built-in effects that is designed for an array of live and studio applications. Channels 1 through 6 have Neutrik XLR connectors for mic level signals, and 1/4" TRS inputs for balanced or unbalanced line level signals. Channels 7 and 8 also have Neutrik XLRs, but feature Class A FET Hi-Z instrument-level inputs for direct connection of electric guitars and basses. Additionally, channels 1 through 8 are all equipped with 3-band EQ and 48V phantom power.

The mixer also features two stereo inputs (ST1 & ST2) that have 1/4" TS and RCA jacks (ST1 only) for connecting line level outputs from devices such as keyboards, samplers or iPods. Each of the stereo channels features a 2-band EQ. All 10 channels can be routed to a "record" buss that can be output to a computer running DAW software via the USB port, or routed into a hardware recording device via the RCA record out jacks. Each channel also features a "listen" button, that when engaged takes the corresponding signal off the master and recording busses and sends it to the headphone buss. This can be useful in a live recording scenario for making discrete EQ adjustments to a channel before adding it to the master or record busses.

Designed with versatility in mind, the ZED60-14FX's master section is equipped with balanced XLR left and right main outputs with 1/4" inserts on each channel. These inserts can be useful for inserting outboard gear such as EQs or limiters at the end of your signal chain before the master mix is output to your speakers. Also, there is a balanced 1/4" aux output for connecting additional sound reinforcement components such as a powered stage monitor, and an FX bus out that can be used to send the FX mix to additional gear such as an external effects unit.

While you can connect an external effects unit via the FX bus out jack, the mixer also features sixteen built-in digital effects that include multiple delays, reverbs, a doubler, flanger, and chorus. The DSP engine, which uses the same effects algorithms as Allen & Heath's flagship digital consoles, is designed for low-noise and low-distortion signal processing.

Rugged Design
Designed with durability in mind for live gigging and recording, the ZED60-14FX uses many of the same exact components used in Allen & Heath's larger, high-end mixers. The vertically mounted, per-channel circuit boards make servicing much easier should it be required, with the ability to remove one particular channel from the mixer at a time
Low-Noise, High-Gain Microphone Pre-Amps
Based on the pre-amps from the Allen & Heath MixWizard series consoles. Designed to maximize sound quality with high gain, low noise and consistent output
Hi-Z Guitar Inputs
Channels 7 and 8 include high-impedance FET circuits running in Class-A mode for use with low-output electric guitars and basses. Designed to emulate the type of circuits used in valve guitar combos and head amplifiers, the input circuit has a soft overdrive characteristic, giving a warm 2nd harmonic character to the sound if desired
Per-Channel EQ
Channels 1-8 are equipped with a 3-band equalizer with sweepable mids and a high-pass filter. The 2 stereo channels have 2-band low- and high-frequency shelving
Onboard Digital Effects Processor
Sixteen built-in digital effects that include multiple delays and reverbs, a doubler, flanger and chorus. The digital effects algorithms are the same as those used on the flagship Allen & Heath digital consoles
Recording Buss
All channels, including the effects buss, have switchable routing to the recording buss that is sent to the stereo RCA recording out and the USB out, useful for dropping or adding in microphones or effects to tape during a live recording scenario
USB Connectivity
When used in tandem with your Mac or PC running DAW software, the mixer can send and/or receive up to 16-bit, 48 kHz audio via the USB port

Allen & Heath ZED60-14FX Reviews

2nd/backup/practice ZED60-14fx

By Fred
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-05-12

The clean sound and ease of use are remarkable. I’m no sound guy by any stretch but I get a lot of compliments on the clarity of the vocals and instruments out front and our ability on the back line to hear ourselves. Oh, did I mention B&H, top notch, fast shipping, been doing business with them for years

Nice Compact Unit

By blackemmons
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2016-02-17

This unit replaces a old and very large Yamaha EM300B in my mancave. It runs six mics, computer and stereo out to four Bose 802 speakers via a Peavey power amp.Being old and a novice at this there was a little confusion for me on connectors need. I was use to using TS connectors for outputs and having control with right and left sliders. The main outputs on this unit are XLR and there is only one slide for the mains. Only one slider for monitors also. May not be a big deal. Getting the USB connected was also not self explanatory to me. The manual leaves something to be desired for a person like me.I was lucky enough to hook up with Bruno at GLB Productions @/about for help. He is in Singapore but emailing back and forth got me through any crisis I had.

question

How many outputs dose this mixer have for multitrack recording?
Asked by: Brian H.
In addition to the main L-R outs on XLR, there is a USB output which can be connected to recording software. When using the RECORD buss switch on each channel, the signals from the channels are sent to the RECORD BUSS. This is best explained and illustrated in the user guide which can be downloaded from the Allen & Heath website.Go to www.allen-heath.com, then PRODUCTS>ZED SERIES>ZED60-14FX>DOWNLOADS>USER GUIDE.
