A ZED Designed for the Field: Compact, Reliable, with the "Allen & Heath" Signature
Part of the ZED series, the ZED-14 embodies the core of Allen & Heath's approach: meticulous preamplification, effective equalization, and a build designed to last. Its compact chassis makes it easy to position on a small stage, in a home studio, or at the heart of a fixed installation, while maintaining connectivity worthy of a control room. The result: a versatile analog mixing tool, ready for daily demands (quick setups, dense cabling, rehearsals, performances).
An Ideal Console for Bands, Service Providers, and Personal Studios
The ZED-14 is aimed at small bands, solo artists, audiovisual service providers, places of worship, and personal studios needing multiple inputs without the bulk of a large console. It is perfectly suited for setups with vocal mics, instruments, stereo keyboards, and playback sources, while providing enough to manage stage monitors and external effects.
Its stereo USB interface simplifies recording and playback from a computer: convenient for capturing rehearsals, streaming backing tracks, or retrieving a stereo mix without adding a dedicated interface.
