A & H ZED 420 Mixer

$uper$tar · 10th May 2008, 08:50 PM

I'm just looking around at some gear and have seen this mixer around and wonder how it is? Anyone have any experience with this thing? How is it for recording/mixing? I am mainly talking about the pre's and eq's.

The feature set is cool for inexpensive stuff, and I think House of Worship could find great use for it as well as some home studio stuff. I do plan on testing one out soon, but beware the first units shipped with an issue where the preamps had a squeal so be sure you get the second release / updated version. There is no info out there about this from the company, I'm telling you from experience though.

the mixer is great. the pre's are wonderful.

my only complaint is that I can't seem to get the aux sends to work with Logic.

they work fine with Ableton so it's likely a Logic issue and not with Allen & Heath.
