Rugged, Great-sounding Mixer with USB Interface

With excellent sound quality and a built-in 4 x 4 USB audio interface, the Allen & Heath ZEDi-10 is a smart mixer for small-format studio and stage applications. Connect up to four microphones or line-level sources, or even two instruments without the need for DI boxes. Two additional stereo channels are available for synthesizers, drum machines, and other line-level sources. Record and play back up to four channels of 24-bit/96kHz audio via USB without the need for a separate interface. Factor in its exceptional build quality, and the compact Allen & Heath ZEDi-10 mixer stands out in its class.

Allen & Heath ZEDi-10 10-channel Mixer at a Glance:
  • Record 24-bit/96kHz audio direct to your DAW
  • GSPre preamps based on the GS-R24 recording console
  • Connect guitar and bass directly, no need for DI boxes
Record 24-bit/96kHz audio direct to your DAW

With USB 2.0 connectivity, the Allen & Heath ZEDi-10 mixer is ready to record and play back 24-bit/96kHz audio. Just connect to your computer or iOS device, open the included Cubase LE software, Cubasis LE app, or your preferred DAW software, and you're ready to go. Separate controls for the USB playback channels allow you to blend USB audio with the Main Mix and Aux Mix independently.

GSPre preamps based on the GS-R24 recording console

Don't be hesitant to plug your best mics into the Allen & Heath ZEDi-10. This compact mixer boasts GSPre preamplifiers, created by analog guru Mike Griffin and based on his acclaimed GS-R24 recording console. These preamps provide lots of headroom and very little noise, and promise to deliver pleasing warmth and depth. Whether you're podcasting or recording vocals for a music project, expect great results from the ZEDi-10's GSPre preamps.

Connect guitar and bass directly, no need for DI boxes

You won't need separate direct boxes to connect your guitar or bass to the ZEDi-10 mixer, unlike many other compact mixers. The first two channels have switchable hi-Z inputs: just hit the switch and connect any electric or acoustic-electric instruments you like. Engage the low-cut filter to help reduce rumble and unwanted low frequencies, then shape your sound to taste with the 3-band EQ.

Allen & Heath ZEDi-10 10-channel Mixer Features:
  • Rugged compact mixer with 4 mono channels, 2 stereo channels, and USB recording/playback
  • 4-in/4-out USB 2.0 interface supports 24-bit/96kHz audio quality

Beauttty

I use this for my synths and fx etc (live rig).. LOVE IT. Had it for years now. No issues. I did have to cut off the bumper to make room.. but i'm sure some would appreciate it. Beats my my Yamaha MG10XU 10 out the water… was always kinda finicky…

Terrific first mixer that will still be useful and beloved after you have bought your SSL Console

My opinion had been through the 20th century that the Mackie VLZ 1402 series of mixers were the swiss army knife of mixers. Useful for their routing capability long after one outgrew their sonic limitations. The Allen & Heath Zedi 10 would be the sonic swiss army knife for twenty first century. Overall I am wary of the idea of including a digital interface into a mixer - it feels like a hardware form of dependency injection. In the Zedi 10, the result is ... freedom and possibility!

This is the best first audio interface for anyone getting into computer music production. Why? Learning to use the virtual mixers that come with many interfaces can totally crush a beginner's creative success due to the additional learning curve - especially if the beginner doesn't understand the analog mixer metaphors used for the virtual mixer in the first place! The AD/DA convertors are very respectable spec wise, almost all other analog mixers cap at 48k, and you get four channels up and down. It is also awesome to be able to plug in your musical instruments and have playback on your monitors WITHOUT HAVING TO TURN ON YOUR COMPUTER. Sometimes having to turn on the computer to sit down with your instrument and just play after a long day at work on another computer will snuff any motivation out completely. When money is tight getting a mixer and an interface at this price point is a good thang.

Once you have had your Zedi 10 for a year or so, its limitations will become apparent. One aux bus, one effects bus, and no second pair of outputs that you can route your third and forth playback channels will cramp your style. Someday you will crave better preamps. You will definitely want more channels.

This is the point where the Zedi 10 morphs into a production side kick you can use to solve problems. I've used mine to solve complicated playback problems on the video set, as a playback interface from QLab for my Theatrical sound designs in blackbox studios, a submixer for synthesizers, an interface to get disparate DJ and Iphone. audio into the main console in our auditorium, etc. The ability to route things across the digital and analogue domains means this device will likely not get sold. It just keeps finding ways to be helpful. You might give it to a niece or nephew you truly love so that they can start their musical journey off right.

Get this mixer if you are starting out. Get this mixer if you trying to teach students basic sound production. Slip it into your interface bag when you need to route the board feed to OBS for the band's next livestream. The Zedi 10 can't do everything, but it can always do something.

Awesome little Mixer, Lots of Features and Easy on the wallet!

This little Allen and Heath is great!! Perfect for your home studio, podcast, or guitar rig setup. I personally bought the unit to mix Voiceover microphones with the stereo out of my computer setup, along with stereo in off my OX guitar rig, and finally an input from the bass rig. All mixes can be routed to the computer via USB, headphone mix or in my case a pair of studio monitors. For the price you cant beat the functionality and features.

Great Mixer

This was a move up from an Audio Interface. Zac, one of the reps here, recommended Allen & Health. Up till then I saw only Yamaha MG10XU & Mackie ProFX10v3 on YouTube at this price point. I am glad I listened to Zac. Even doing Zoom interviews for my podcast, I noticed an immediate improvement in sound quality.

As a podcaster, I didn't need FX. That brought the price into a sweet spot for me.

Also I love having true USB 4 track recording on the computer. The other 2 mentioned above don't have that ability.

Great so far

I needed to beef up my home recording studio for multi-track recording. This mixer is an incredible value that includes a 4x4 interface and the 10-channel mixer. I had it set up and was multi-track recording in my DAW in under an hour, and I am not at all a recording wizard or anything. Thanks to my sales engineer here for pointing me in the right direction, I'm glad I didn't choose something cheaper that would have been more difficult to set up and use.

It's robust enough that I'll be able to use it on live gigs where needed (once we have those again, lol). But it's super compact so it doesn't take up a lot of room in my tiny studio space. It has a bunch of interesting signal routing features as well so it seems like it's adaptable to a wide range of activities - more powerful than my admittedly limited usage requires right now, but it's good to know that I have options if I get more ambitious in the future.

I'm happy with this purchase and for musicians with limited budget that need an all in one solution for smaller projects, I can enthusiastically recommend this mixer. If possible (?) I will update this review if anything changes.
