Overview

The Allen & Heath ZED60-14FX is a 14-channel analog mixer built for musicians and small bands who need professional sound quality in a portable, road-ready package. It features 6 Mic/Line inputs and 2 Mic/Line/DI inputs with high-impedance jacks — a standout feature that allows guitarists and bassists to connect directly without requiring external DI boxes. Three additional stereo line inputs round out the channel count, providing ample connectivity for keyboards, media players, and other line-level sources. The onboard FX engine adds reverb, delay, and modulation effects directly within the mixer, saving both cost and setup time compared to outboard processing.

On the recording side, the ZED60-14FX includes configurable USB audio I/O that enables stereo recording to a computer and playback from a DAW back through the mixer. This makes it a practical hub for both live performance and studio tracking without additional audio interfaces. Weighing 13.6 pounds and measuring 13.6 x 17.3 inches, the mixer is compact enough for transport while maintaining the build quality and audio performance that Allen & Heath is known for. With 48V phantom power, flexible routing, and a straightforward layout, the ZED60-14FX serves as a dependable centerpiece for small-format live sound and recording applications.

Key Features

The compact ZED range of mixers feature the same high-level audio and build quality as A&H’s large format touring consoles, with separate internal channel boards, Neutrik connectors and every pot fixed to the chassis.

Full, clear and detailed preamps with low noise, 60dB of gain and 48V phantom power bring out the best in any microphone. Two of the mono channels also have a HiZ connection to allow direct connection of high impedance sources without the need for a separate DI box.

A built-in, studio quality multi-FX unit provides 16 different, tweakable FX types including reverbs, delays and modulation with tap tempo to keep everything in time. These are not your average compact mixer FX either, using algorithms developed entirely in-house by our DSP experts rather than an ‘off-the-shelf’ chip.

The routable stereo USB output can be used to record/stream the whole mix, Aux and FX sends or the dedicated record bus which has switches on each channel which make it super easy to select just some channels for recording. 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.

Optional rack ear kit [ZED60-14FX-RK19] securely fits the mixer into a standard 19” rack or flight case.

8 Mic, 8 Line/Inst, 2 Stereo (2 Left, 2 Right), 2 USB Audio, 1 Stereo Playback
