Post subject: | Allen & Heath ZED-14 Mixer ? |
I have been planning to get a Mackie ProFX12 when I can find one in stock. It looks like just what I need. Learning about Mackies problems with chinese production from this Forum, and the fact that it has been hard to find available, has caused me to re-think my choice. So I have been looking at other non-powered USB Mixers. It looks to me like the Allen & Heath ZED-14 is a better choice than the ProFX12. Of course the cost is greater. http://www.allen-heath.com/zed/zed-14.asp Two features that I like are; 1. You can route the USB input into a stereo return, allowing much more control of the music on the mixer( the ProFX appears only to have a USB gain) 2. Swept mid-range control. It doesn't have built in FX or EQ, but I recently bought a Lexicon MX200 and plan on a DBX Driverack down the road, so thats OK with me I Would like to hear what others think of the ZED-14 and how it might compare with the ProFX12, or maybe other sugestions for a USB unpowered Mixer. |

Don't know if you checked, but the GC in Tacoma has (had) the PROFX in stock, that's where I played around with it a few weeks back. Never can go wrong with A & H though. Very good mixers - just know this particular line is also made in China as well! |

It would seem that the 100mm Alps faders, swept mids, four stereo channels and modular build alone would make the Allen & Heath worth the price of admission. I have no experience with this particular model, but I do own and use an Allen & Heath mixer and find it sonically pleasing and extremely well built. Yes this model is made in the land of "C" but I doubt Allen & Heath would allow there name put on anything if it didn't measure up. On paper it looks like a nice bang for the buck mixer. |

I currently have the A&H zed 12fx and thoroughly enjoy it. Very reliable and worth the money |

Thank you for the input Although the PROFX12 appears to be a Real nice mixer for Computeroke, especially for the price, I am going to get the ZED-14. It will be a couple of weeks before I can afford the purchase. after I get it and try it out, I will post here again to give my thoughts on it. |
