General Precautions: Damage : Environment : Cleaning : Transporting : Hearing : 82 Allen & Heath To prevent damage to the controls and cosmetics avoid placing heavy objects on the control surface, scratching the surface with sharp objects, or rough handling and vibration. Protect from excessive dirt, dust, heat and vibration when operating and storing. Avoid tobacco ash, smoke, drinks spillage, and exposure to rain and moisture. If the console becomes wet, switch off and remove mains power immediately. Allow to dry out thoroughly before using again. Avoid the use of chemicals, abrasives or solvents. The control panel is best cleaned with a soft brush and dry lint-free cloth. The faders, switches and potentiometers are lubricated for life. The use of electrical lubricants on these parts is not recommended. The fader and potentiometer knobs may be removed for cleaning with a warm soapy solution. Rinse and allow to dry fully before refitting them. The console may be transported as a free-standing unit or mounted in a rack or flightcase. Protect the controls from damage during transit. Use adequate packing if you need to ship the unit. To avoid damage to your hearing do not operate any sound system at excessively high volume. This applies particularly to close-to-ear monitoring such as headphones and in-ear systems. Continued exposure to high volume sound can cause frequency selective or wide range hearing loss. 5 ZED-14, 18 & 24 User Guide CONTENTS USO RESTRITO Thank you for purchasing your Allen & Heath ZED mixer.

The Allen & Heath ZED series mixers have been carefully and lovingly designed in the beautiful county of Cornwall in the UK and is manufactured alongside a wide range of professional audio mixing consoles. Many of the components used in ZED are exactly the same as in the larger Allen & Heath products and the construction methods are also very similar — utilising individual vertically mounted channel circuit boards with each rotary control fixed with a metal nut to the front panel. This provides a very robust product that will resist damage and give years of reliable use. It also makes servicing much easier should it be required, with the ability to remove one particular channel from the mixer at a time, or easily change a fader. USO RESTRITO The audio circuitry is based on years of continual development and refinement , the performance of all the elements within the mixer scrutinised and perfected to ensure the very best sound quality possible. Multi-application: ZED’s are great for live mixing! Their layout makes them very easy to use and the 100mm faders give much better control of the mix compared to most products at a similar price. They are also great for recording, either a live show or an audio project at home can be built up track by track and studio monitor speakers can be fed from the Alt Outputs. ZED mixers are also ideal for teaching establishments, houses of worship, hotels and conference centres where their ease of use and robust qualities make them a top choice. Mic/Line Pre-amps: Based on the pre-amps from the PA series, the ZED-14, 18 & 24 pre-amps 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. There is no “pad” switch, or pad circuit — line level signals are simply plugged into the second stage of the pre-amp by using the line input jack socket. This has the great advantage of lower noise when using the line input. (It is common to attenuate line level signals, the amplify them back up again which can give more noise or hiss). EQ: The ZED series mixers are equipped with a 3-band equaliser circuit on each mono input and a 2-band EQ on the stereo channels. The frequency and response of each has been carefully chosen to give the maximum performance when using the EQ on a variety of sources. AUX system: Four auxiliary buses are provided, two pre-fade and two post fader. Auxes 1 & 2 have master level controls. The auxes can be sent to the USB output for either recording or effects purposes and Auxes 1 & 2 can be configured as a stereo pair, with sends on the stereo channels switched either mono or stereo. Mono and Stereo Channels: One of the great things about the ZED series is the number and variety of things you can plug in. In addition to the mono channels there are four stereo channels, each with a main stereo input on jack sockets, three of them have the ability to take additional stereo inputs from phono sockets or from the USB audio input, flexibility gives you control. USB: Getting audio to and from a computer easily is now a common requirement for live sound and music production. The way we have implemented this on ZED is super-flexible and super-easy! No longer do you need to fiddle around the back of your computer 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! Quality audio to and from your PC or MAC. As you can tell, we’re very proud of this product we hope you like it too.

The signal is sourced pre-fade which means that the level is independent of, and unaffected by the fader. Auxes 1 & 2 are primarily used for foldback monitoring purposes, as the fader does not affect the level. They can also be used as feeds for recording and are available sources to the USB interface for this purpose. These sends are affected by the Mute switch, so muting the channel will also mute the Aux sends. The control varies the signal level to the bus from off (fully attenuated) to +6dB, with unity gain at the arrow. There are master level controls for the Aux 1 & 2 outputs situated in the master section of the mixer. POST +6 OO = PAN L R MUTE Auxes 3 & 4 These are post-fade sends, which means that the signals are affected by the channel fader. Primarily used for effects sends, the aux signal will reduce if the fader is pulled down so keeping the correct proportion of the effect. Muting the channel will also mute the Aux sends, and the send controls have 6dB gain fully clockwise. There are no master level controls for Aux 3 & 4 outputs. PK !

Stereo Input Channel ST2 The only difference from stereo input channel ST1 is the labelling of the additional stereo input on phono connectors, labelled as 2 Track Return. This is to indicate that a 2 track (stereo) input can be inserted here for playback of a stereo recording or incidental music. Stereo Input Channel ST3 Stereo input channel ST3 also has an additional stereo input, but instead of being on phono connectors, it comes from the USB audio input. The level control, ON switch and routing switch are the same as for stereo input channel ST1. It is best to leave the ON switch in its UP position when the USB input is not in use. The phono sockets carry the analogue record output signals that are sourced from the main L R outputs. They are pre-fade, post L R insert. Stereo Input Channel ST4 Stereo input channel ST4 has one stereo input (ST4) on jack sockets. The phono sockets carry the Alternate stereo output which comes from the selector switches and level control in the master section. USB connector & output selection. A standard USB type B connector plugs in here (cable supplied). The three selector switches determine what is sent on the USB output. They work on a priority system, so that if more than one is pressed the one nearest the top takes precedence. So if all 3 are pressed, then the Aux 1 & 2 signals would be sent by the USB device. Please refer to the section describing using the USB audio port for more details.

Press this in to switch 48v Phantom Power to all the Mic input xlr connectors, if any of the microphones attached require power. Dynamic microphones won’t mind being connected to a phantom powered input, but care is needed to ensure that 48v is not switched on if an xlr is used to input a signal from an electronic circuit (ie. Another mixer or keyboard). When switching 48v on or off, or plugging in connectors to channels with 48v present, it is important (and normal practise) to mute the channels.

It is fully compliant with USB 2 ports and uses standard Windows and MAC Core Audio Drivers. In other words, plug it in and your computer will find it and be able to transfer audio to and from the ZED USB device. You will need some form of audio software running on your computer to be able to record and play back what you record, but on a basic level, you can use your computers media player to play straight to the ZED device. Just a couple of points to look out for: Windows XP/Vista: When you plug in your ZED USB interface to your computer, if the volume level is low or inaudible, check the device volume in control panel/Sounds and Audio Devices/Volume. Set the volume to High. Windows 7: At present, Windows 7 treats the USB audio device as a microphone source instead if a line input, so set the device volume level much lower, we found setting to 3 is ideal. If you want to reduce latency (delay) there are some different drivers available for your operating system. Please check the Allen & Heath website www.allen-heath.com for details and links to third party companies able to supply appropriate drivers for your operating system.

If the installing computer has access to the internet just click “Register”, if not, use a different computer to access cakewalk.com and register by typing in the serial number. Allen & Heath 23 ZED-14, 18 & 24 User Guide SONAR LE will run automatically after installation, or else click the icon created on the desktop. To initially configure SONAR X1 LE with ZED: Create a normal Cakewalk project (an option offered when starting SONAR). In Edit/Preferences configure the I/O—enable the USB Audio CODEC under Devices. This is the ZED interface. For now, disable any other devices listed, for example the computer’s internal soundcard listed here. USO RESTRITO In SONAR X1 LE different views are available. The Track view shows audio and MIDI tracks in a timeline aspect and the Console view shows a mixer style layout. Different views can be displayed by the “dock” tabs at the bottom of the screen. On the left is the Track Inspector. Add an audio track or two clicking Insert/Audio Track. Tracks can be named by clicking the name box, here we have named tracks 1&2 ZED-Left and ZED Right. Configure the inputs for the tracks using the IN/OUT routing drop-down menu in the Track Inspector. Here we select LEFT USB Audio to track 1 and RIGHT USB Audio to track 2. The track outputs are routed to the Master bus in SONAR. Select the output for the Master bus in SONAR by clicking the drop-down arrow in the Inspector and selecting STEREO USB Audio CODEC which is the ZED USB return. In order to check the configuration, enable Input Echo On (the top right button in the track view header). Play some audio through your ZED mixer and select the USB send buttons to the audio signal (for example the L-R mix). N.B. Do not route the USB return to the L-R mix in your ZED mixer at this stage—a feedback loop could occur. You should see the signal on the metering in SONAR LE. To try a recording, enable the Record buttons on the tracks and click the main Record button on the transport toolbar. Recorded audio signal should be displayed in red. Click stop, or hit the space bar on your keyboard to stop the recording. Once you have recorded audio in your SONAR project you can play it back to the ZED mixer. De-select the record arm buttons and Input Echo on the tracks (or you could get both the recorded track signal AND the live input signal playing, and possibly a feedback loop). Press play or hit the spacebar on the keyboard. You should see the audio being played and levels on the meters in SONAR. On your ZED mixer, Press USB Rtn ON and turn the level up to the desired point. Audio should be playing from the tracks in SONAR to the L-R bus in your ZED. Allen & Heath 24 ZED-14, 18 & 24 User Guide CONNECTING A ZED TO PRO TOOLS 9 ON A MAC If you use Pro Tools 9 and want to connect to your ZED console using a Mac computer, here are some notes: 1. Connect your ZED mixer to your Mac via USB and power on the mixer. USO RESTRITO 2. With Pro Tools 9 installed, open Audio MIDI Setup on your Mac. PT9 should have created a Pro Tools Aggregate I/O folder in the Audio Devices list. The ZED interface should appear as USB Audio CODEC in the list along with other audio devices in your system. Tick Use to enable the device in PT9. You may need to also tick Resample in order for the audio data settings to be compatible with your PT9 session. Audio MIDI Setup... 3. Run Pro Tools 9 and create a new session with at least two audio tracks. Open the SETUP/ Playback Engine window and select Pro Tools Aggregate I/O as the Current Engine. Click OK. 4. In PT9 click SETUP and then I/O. Select Output from the menu and the devices available should appear in a box labelled PTAI/O (Pro Tools Aggregate I/O). Here you can create a new output path if one doesn’t exist, name it (here it’s called ZED Stereo OUT) and tick it to enable. The output path can be set as stereo or mono channels as is required. 5. Still in I/O Setup, click the Input tab. Again the input sources should appear for enabled devices in Pro Tools Aggregate I/O. Create a new path for the inputs and name as you prefer. Here we have a stereo input named ZEDStereo Input. Note that mono channels can use one channel of a stereo input path. Make sure the path is ticked and click OK. 6. Select the inputs and outputs for your tracks in your session. Here the input for mono Track 1 is selected as the Left channel from the ZED USB interface. The track outputs can either be routed to the ZED directly or to a master bus in Pro Tools and then to the ZED. 7. Finally check the interface and settings are working by recording some audio from the ZED mixer to PT9 and then play the audio back to the ZED afterwards. Always be wary of audio feedback loops with bi-directional interface connections which can cause high level audio feedback if signals are routed back to themselves either in the mixer or in the software system.

In this case, and probably with most reverbs, it will be stereo so it will go to left & right. 9 Set the return level and select USB ON. You can monitor the level quickly by selecting USB RTN on the headphone monitor selection. 10 You can select the USB return to use the stereo channel ST3. Or, if using the stereo channel for another input route the USB return direct to L-R by leaving this switch un-pressed. 11 If you are using the stereo channel ST3 for the USB return signal, then this will be your effects return (Wet mix) fader for the effects to L-R. 12 You can then add some reverb for example, to your foldback (artists’) monitors. PK ! 10 30 Use post fade Aux 3 & 4 as the sends from ZED so when you move the channel fader the effects level stays in proportion.
