This is for 1 x Zed 420 mixing desk by Allen and Heath and pictured flight case. This is a great desk as it's robust, functional and very easy to navigate and learn quickly. Allen and Heath say: ZED-420 is excellent for bands, houses of worship, theatres or AV applications. It has a truly professional feature set, which will fit any sound reinforcement application and professional PA hire stock. ZED-420 has Configurable USB audio in/out makes it easy to capture stereo recordings, 16 mic or line inputs plus 2 dual stereo inputs, 4-band EQ with MusiQ, 4 sub-groups, 6 auxiliary sends and a 7×2 matrix.ZED-420 is excellent for bands, houses of worship, theatres or AV applications.

The way this has been implemented on ZED is super-flexible and super-easy! No longer do you need to fiddle around the back of your PC to get to the soundcard inputs, only to find that the levels are all wrong and noisy. Just plug in a USB lead to your ZED, select the USB routing on the mixer and the device on your computer and that’s it! CD quality audio to and from your PC or Mac. Switches and connection through jack socket terminals provide different send/return configurations:-SEND OPTIONS1) Main Mix Left + Right (Post-fade)2) Main Mix Left + Right (Pre-Fade)3) Auxes 1-24) Auxes 5-65) Matrix 1-2.RETURN OPTIONS1) To Playback input2) To Stereo 3 channelZED-420 has a tuned 4-band EQ taken from the acclaimed GL2200 mixer, utilising MusiQ – with optimised slope (or Q factor) for equalising individual instruments.Based on the proven pre-amps from the hugely successful PA series, ZED-420 has DuoPre pre-amps, which use a two stage design, with carefully controlled amounts of gain in each stage. When amplifying the signal from the XLR input, the gain range is huge – 69dB of range to be exact – and is very evenly distributed around the gain control, meaning better control of signal level. Most of the gain comes from the first stage, so unwanted noise is kept to a minimum. Line level signals are simply plugged into the second stage of the pre-amp by using the line input jack socket, which has the great advantage of less noise when using the line input and also matching to a higher input impedance.FEATURE SUMMARY16 mono channels2 dual stereo inputs with 4-band EQNeutrik mic XLRNeutrik 1/4 inch jacksChannel insertSuper wide gain ‘DuoPre’ mic line input4-band EQ with 2 swept mids and in/out switchIlluminated muteSound image panIlluminated PFL & peak warning indicatorALPS 100mm faders6 auxiliary sends (2 pre, 2 post, 2 pre/post)4 sub groups fed from each channelAll inputs with level control12 bar metersL, R and M main mix outputs2 matrix sections available; can send output to USBIndividual channel 48V phantom powerDirect output on every mono channelPeak and signal indication on every channelConfigurable USB stereo audio in/outMaster level controls on all outputsEasy to use layout – all connections and controls on top surfaceZED-420 has a tuned 4-band EQ taken from the acclaimed GL2200 mixer, utilising MusiQ – with optimised slope (or Q factor) for equalising individual instruments.Based on the proven pre-amps from the hugely successful PA series, ZED-420 has DuoPre pre-amps, which use a two stage design, with carefully controlled amounts of gain in each stage.
