Allen & Heath ZED-436 - Touring Quality Live Audio Mixer with 16 Mono and 4 Stereo Inputs, 4 Groups, 6 Aux/Monitor Sends, 7x2 Matrix and USB I/O (AH-ZED-436)

Features:

• DuoPre XLR Microphone preamps, including 48V Phantom power for condenser microphones and up to 69dB of gain. Each preamp uses two gain stages to provide a full and accurate sound across the entire gain range with enough power for even the most gain hungry mics.
• Every mono channel, each group and the main mix feature insert sockets for connection of external processors like compressors or graphic equalisers to apply dynamic and tonal shaping on a per-channel or group basis as well as over the whole mix.
• A 100Hz High Pass Filter on every mono input allows unneeded low frequencies to be removed, then the 3-band MusiQ EQ with swept mid frequency uses carefully selected frequencies to ensure your sound sculpting is always musical. Cut or boost highs and lows with shelving EQ and use the mid frequency selection to choose exactly where to adjust the mid frequencies, especially useful for vocals, guitar and other instruments with a rich mid-range.
• Two ‘Pre-Fade’ Auxiliary outputs enable separate mixes to be sent to monitor speakers or any feeds that require a mix of channels independent of the main mix. Two ‘Post-Fade’ Auxiliary outputs sends signal at a level which follows the send level to the main mix, ideal for use with external FX units, feeds to subwoofers or creating a mix for streaming or recording. A further two Auxiliary outputs can be switched between pre-fade and post-fade operation on a per-channel basis.
• A routable stereo-in stereo-out USB connection makes it easy to record the whole main mix or just the channels you need and enables a stereo return from the connected device to be routed back to the mix. It’s also class compliant and does not require drivers, meaning not just Mac and Windows computers can be connected, but also many mobile devices such as tablets or even smart phones.
• 32 Mic, 32 Line/Inst, 2 Stereo (2Left, 2 Right), 2 USB Audio
