Allen & Heath ZED-10FX

Allen & Heath ZED-10FX hire in Melbourne. A small analogue mixer with built in effects and USB recording, for jobs that need a few inputs and no menu diving.

Analogue mixer hire is the right call when the job is a couple of mics, a laptop and a speaker. The ZED-10FX gives you four mic inputs with Allen & Heath preamps, two of them ready for a guitar or bass plugged straight in, plus two stereo inputs for a phone, a laptop or a keyboard. Three band EQ on the mic channels, a monitor send for a foldback wedge, a headphone output and balanced XLR main outs that run straight into our QSC speakers. Every control is on the surface, so anyone can see what is happening and fix it in a hurry.

It's also a USB audio interface, so you can record a stereo mix of the speeches or the set straight to a laptop. The classic FX section adds reverb to a vocal or a bit of funk to the band without another box. It's the mixer in our Platinum PA Speaker Package, and the one we send for presentations, livestreams, podcasts and small band setups.

Good for: presentations, speeches with walk on music, playback, small bands and acoustic acts, livestreams, podcasts on location and small speaker systems.

Good to know: Comes with the power lead and a USB cable for recording to a laptop. Great for simple jobs. Need scene recall, more channels or iPad control? Move up to the Allen & Heath QU16 or SQ5.
