The Allen & Heath ZED-18 comes with 18 renowned, premium DuoPre preamps. The DuoPre's have a 69dB gain range that gives superb control over the signal level thanks to its even distribution around the gain control. Most of the gain comes from the first stage so that any unwanted noise is kept at a minimum level. The line level signals are plugged into the second stage of the preamp by using the line input jack. The advantage of this is that there is less noise when using the line input and also matching to a higher input impedance.
ZED-18 features a 3-band swept mid frequency EQ that utilises MusiQ, with optimised slope for individual EQ of instruments.
The ZED-18 includes Cakewalks' SONAR X1 LE to enable you to create your own music instantly. You will be able to create tracks, arrange songs and record straight from your ZED mixer, then you are able to play back to the ZED-18 via the USB port. The ZED and SONAR can be used together in different ways, for example you can use them for recording tracks individualy to build up a song, simple recording or by using the USB port and software as an effects loop.
