General Precautions: Damage : Environment : Cleaning : Transporting : Hearing : 82 Allen & Heath To prevent damage to the controls and cosmetics avoid placing heavy objects on the control surface, scratching the surface with sharp objects, or rough handling and vibration. Protect from excessive dirt, dust, heat and vibration when operating and storing. Avoid tobacco ash, smoke, drinks spillage, and exposure to rain and moisture. If the console becomes wet, switch off and remove mains power immediately. Allow to dry out thoroughly before using again. Avoid the use of chemicals, abrasives or solvents. The control panel is best cleaned with a soft brush and dry lint-free cloth. The faders, switches and potentiometers are lubricated for life. The use of electrical lubricants on these parts is not recommended. The fader and potentiometer knobs may be removed for cleaning with a warm soapy solution. Rinse and allow to dry fully before refitting them. The console may be transported as a free-standing unit or mounted in a rack or flightcase. Protect the controls from damage during transit. Use adequate packing if you need to ship the unit. To avoid damage to your hearing do not operate any sound system at excessively high volume. This applies particularly to close-to-ear monitoring such as headphones and in-ear systems. Continued exposure to high volume sound can cause frequency selective or wide range hearing loss. 6 ZED-12FX, 16FX & 22FX User Guide CONTENTS Thank you for purchasing your Allen & Heath ZED mixer.

The Allen & Heath ZED series mixers have been carefully and lovingly designed in the beautiful county of Cornwall in the UK and is manufactured alongside a wide range of professional audio mixing consoles. Many of the components used in ZED are exactly the same as in the larger Allen & Heath products and the construction methods are also very similar — utilising individual vertically mounted channel circuit boards with each rotary control fixed with a metal nut to the front panel. This provides a very robust product that will resist damage and give years of reliable use. It also makes servicing much easier should it be required, with the ability to remove one particular channel from the mixer at a time, or easily change a fader. The audio circuitry is based on years of continual development and refinement , the performance of all the elements within the mixer scrutinised and perfected to ensure the very best sound quality possible. Multi-application: ZED’s are great for live mixing! Their layout makes them very easy to use and the 100mm faders give much better control of the mix compared to most products at a similar price. They are also great for recording, either a live show or an audio project at home can be built up track by track and studio monitor speakers can be fed from the Alt Outputs. ZED mixers are also ideal for teaching establishments, houses of worship, hotels and conference centres where their ease of use and robust qualities make them a top choice. Mic/Line Pre-amps: Based on the pre-amps from the PA series, the ZED-12FX, 16FX & 22FX pre-amps use a two stage design, with carefully controlled amounts of gain in each stage. When amplifying the signal from the XLR input, the gain range is huge (69dB of range to be exact) and is very evenly distributed around the gain control, meaning better control of signal level. Most of the gain comes from the first stage, so unwanted noise is kept to a minimum. There is no “pad” switch, or pad circuit — line level signals are simply plugged into the second stage of the pre-amp by using the line input jack socket. This has the great advantage of lower noise when using the line input. (It is common to attenuate line level signals, the amplify them back up again which can give more noise or hiss). EQ: The ZED series mixers are equipped with a 3-band equaliser circuit on each mono input and a 2-band EQ on the stereo channels. The frequency and response of each has been carefully chosen to give the maximum performance when using the EQ on a variety of sources. AUX system: Zed 12FX, 16FX & 22fX mixers have 4 Aux buses. 3 are used for connecting external equipment such as foldback stage monitors, or external effects processors, and one is used for the internal effects processor. Effects Processor: Zed-12FX, 16FX & 22FX mixers have a professional quality effects processor built in which uses our own effects algorithms developed by our talented engineering staff at Allen & Heath. The effects range from classic reverbs, cascaded delay plus reverbs to shimmering flanger & chorus effects. The different effects types are selected with a simple up/down button interface and the tempo of the delay settings can be entered using the TAP button. Holding the TAP button allows the parameters of the effects to be adjusted. The audio signal to the DSP is converted using 24 bit high dynamic range converters running at 48kHz sample rate, ensuring low noise, low distortion, transparent effects. Mono and Stereo Channels: One of the great things about the ZED series is the number and variety of things you can plug in. In addition to the mono channels there are three stereo channels, each with a main stereo input on jack sockets, two of them have the ability to take additional stereo inputs from phono sockets, the third can take the USB audio input. Flexibility gives you control. USB: Getting audio to and from a computer easily is now a common requirement for live sound and music production. The way we have implemented this on ZED is super-flexible and super-easy! No longer do you need to fiddle around the back of your computer to get to the soundcard inputs, only to find that the levels are all wrong and noisy. Just plug in a USB lead to your ZED, select the USB routing on the mixer and the device on your computer and that’s it! Quality audio to and from your PC or MAC. As you can tell, we’re very proud of this product we hope you like it too.

INSERT Gain Control GAIN 0 20 10 0 MIC LINE 10 30 40 -10 -6 This adjusts the gain of the input amplifier to match the signal level of the input. The gain is varied from –6dB (attenuation) to +63dB for signals plugged in to the xlr socket (Mic Input) and –10dB to +26dB for signals plugged into the Line input jack. GA 50 LIN 63 26 - 100Hz 100Hz Hi-pass Filter dBr 10.00 The Hi-pass filter is used for reducing pop noise and rumble from microphone signals. It is a 2-pole (12dB per octave) filter with a corner frequency set at 100Hz. The filter affects signals from both Mic XLR and Line jack socket. 0.00 -10.00 -20.00 -30.00 -40.00 -50.00 10.00 Hz Allen & Heath 100.00 1000.00 10000.00 30000.00 15 ZED-12FX, 16FX & 22FX User Guide MONO INPUT CHANNEL 0 20 10 GAIN HF EQ 10 30 0 MIC LINE The HF (High Frequency) equaliser affects the frequency response of the higher audible frequencies. The corner frequency of 12kHz is around 3dB from the maximum cut or boost of the circuit.

The frequency graduations on the sweep control are the centre frequencies of the EQ. The range has been carefully chosen to cover “boomy” frequencies around 120Hz to 250Hz which may need cutting back, or a lift at 2 to 3kHz may be required for microphone intelligibility. dBr 20.00 -15 +15 15.00 10.00 LF 5.00 80Hz 0.00 -5.00 -10.00 -15 +15 -15.00 -20.00 10.00 Hz LF EQ The LF (Low Frequency) equaliser affects the response at the low end of the audio range.

The signal is sourced pre-fade which means that the level is independent of, and unaffected by the fader. Auxes 1 & 2 are primarily used for foldback monitoring purposes, as the fader does not affect the level. They can also be used as feeds for recording and are available sources to the USB interface for this purpose. These sends are affected by the Mute switch, so muting the channel will also mute the Aux sends. The control varies the signal level to the bus from off (fully attenuated) to +6dB, with unity gain at the arrow. There are master level controls for the Aux 1 & 2 outputs situated in the master section of the mixer. P = PAN Auxes 3 & FX +6 OO P L R MUTE These are post-fade sends, which means that the signals are affected by the channel fader. Primarily used for effects sends, the aux signal will reduce if the fader is pulled down so keeping the correct proportion of the effect. Muting the channel will also mute the Aux sends, and the send controls have 6dB gain fully clockwise. There are no master level controls for Aux 3 output or the FX mix bus. PK ! PFL PAN 10 The pan control adjusts how the signal from the mono input channel is shared between the left and right buses and subsequently the main stereo outputs. Set to the mid position, equal amounts of signal are fed to left and right, with pan set to L, none is sent to the Right bus. 5 Mute Switch 0 This mutes or cuts the signal to the left & right buses and the Aux buses. A rectangular LED illuminates to show the Mute switch is pressed. 5 10 20 PFL Switch & PK! LED The PFL (Pre-Fade Listen) switch sends the channel signal to the PFL bus and subsequently to the headphones and the main L R meters. Used for checking the audio signal before raising the fader or un-muting the channel. The PK! LED illuminates dimly to indicate the PFL switch is pressed, and brightly to indicate the channel signal is within 5dB of clipping. 30 Fader OO The 100mm fader affects the level of the channel signal to the left & right buses and Auxes 3 & 4. There is 10dB of gain at the top and the unity gain position is marked by “0”. 1 Allen & Heath 17 ZED-12FX, 16FX & 22FX User Guide STEREO INPUT CHANNEL ST1 Stereo Return Phono sockets ST RTN This is an additional stereo input to the main stereo channel input (below). The gain is varied by the ST RTN control and this input can be sent to either the stereo channel or straight to the L R main bus, depending on the setting of the under-panel switch. These inputs are unbalanced. L R Stereo 1 input jack sockets Standard 1/4” jack sockets for line level stereo signals. Can be used with a mono input where the L/M input will also connect to the R input if nothing is plugged in to R. The Stereo 1 inputs accept unbalanced or balanced signals. L/M ST1 IN Stereo Return Level control Adjusts the level of the stereo return input from off (fully attenuated) to maximum where it has 10dB of gain. RT R Stereo Return ON switch ST -10 RTN 2 -5 R 0 -20 Stereo Routing selector switch 5 -30 This switch selects whether the Stereo Return signal is sent to the L R bus directly, or the stereo channel 1. When it is pressed in, the Stereo Return signal sums together with the main stereo input. 10 OO This switches the signal on when pressed in. Leaving the switch in the up position is recommended when the stereo return input is not in use to minimise unwanted noise being passed through. ON Stereo 1 Level control To LR To 7-8 ST1 -10 Adjusts the level of the ST1 input. The range is from off to +10dB.
