  • Page 10: Introduction To Zed-10

    Many of the components used in ZED-10 and ZED-10FX 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.
  • Page 11 INTRODUCTION TO THE ZED-10 The ZED-10 and ZED-10FX mixers are equipped with a 3-band equaliser circuit on each mono input, with swept mid frequency section, 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.
