The Allen & Heath ZED-18 mixer features ten mono and four stereo inputs in a compact setup. Each XLR input comes complete with the Allen & Heath DuoPre pre-amps, which break down the gain range into two stages to keep unwanted noise to a minimum. The 3-band EQ design utilizes Musiq, which provides equalization for each individual instrument. Featuring a USB input, you can easily connect this mixer to your computer to record and download your mix or to play a previously recorded signal or any other type of music into the current mix.
