The ZED-R16 is a superbly equipped console with all the crucial parts of the recording process in one box. The best per forming preamp in Allen & Heath’s entire range is packaged with a high quality analogue to Firewire interface and the most extensive EQ on any mixer at this price point (or even twice the price!). An analogue channel strip so well featured, which sounds this good, is a real find at this level.
ZED-R16 combines an analogue recording mixer with a FireWire soundcard, MIDI controls and ingenious ‘home-studio’ routing so you can build tracks in the studio, record live gigs, mix-down, remix… all through warm analogue circuitry, 4 band fully parametric classic British EQ and out to crisp, precise digital format.
- Record multi-channel via FireWire or ADAT
- Monitor each recording track via the FireWire inputs
- Use the FireWire connections to and from each channel to insert processing plug-ins such as gates or compressors
- Use the ZED-R16 to mix a live show and record it to multi-track (Either ADAT or FireWire)
- Mix in analogue using the FireWire inputs, pre or post EQ
- Mix in digital using MIDI faders, rotaries and switches provided on the ZED-R16
- Use analogue EQ as an analogue plug-in to a digital system
- Use the professional studio features to control monitoring and artists feeds as well as transport control
