Allen & Heath ZED60-14FX Mixer Tutorial Part Two

Allen & Heath's entry level analog mixing consoles, the ZED series are well-built, good-sounding and excellent value for money. Available in frame sizes and feature sets to suit any application, I have recommended them to many a satisfied customer. In this series of videos we take a look at the ZED60-14FX, a 14-channel, 60mm fader mixer with USB audio connectivity.

Thank you for a most comprehensive explanation of this brilliant board. Not only does it cover all my questions but, having wasted many hours on awful KZbin videos (from sound mixers to laying paving flags!), it is by far the best filmed and professionally produced video I have ever seen on KZbin - and that includes many corporate videos!

Hi Cris, sorry for the late reply, I must have missed this comment :) Yes, for a basic/intermediate textbook I recommend "Basic Live Sound" by Paul White. For a more advanced text I suggest "Live Sound Reinforcement" by Scott Hunter Stark.

[@CrisValk]

Thanks!Am I mistaken or these books are pretty old?maybe the technology has evolved and there's new classics? Idea:Why don't YOU write one about it?I would buy it with eyes closed :D

[@GLBProductions]

Well 'old' is a relative term ;) The thing is that there are lots of new advances at the pro level, especially with regards to digital mixers, signal routing and in ear monitoring, but there are still thousands of older systems in use at the club and regional touring level and these books are great for that. Haha yes perhaps I will write a book one day - it's just that my students tell me they don't read books anymore :D

[@CrisValk]

GLB Productions OK I'll start with those two books then :) Too bad,I've read a dozen of books for the studio application already and if it wasn't for them I wouldn't made it to achieve some results...surely the Web is great but very dispersive,the best way of learning is with a well prepared teacher or in lack of that,good books and up-to-date but not forgetting the past though. Another advantage of the books is that you can carry them where you want and have any answers right away without having to turn on the pc or reach for the smartphone and surfing the whole Web. And they're good even for a brief general reexaminatio. This is my opinion of course and can change through the time :D Ps one day I would like to show to you a brief cell video (maybe a private YT vid will work) my first live show as a sound engineer,I wonder what you will think about it...!

[@andychongks]

I think the pre delay are used to prevent the “initial attack” of the instrument to stick with reverb, thus make give more clarity to the instrument. Correct me if im wrong. Is to fill up the space in the mix without interrupting the initial attack of the instrument.

[@GLBProductions]

Thanks Andy, I believe you are correct.

[@henryvanweeren7233]

This first and second video review series is excellent (always a big A&H fan)!! Thank you!! BTW, most monitors and self-powered speakers use XLR for input; few use the 1/4" option any more. It's a pity this particular mixer is not available any more. You have to purchase used. I have no idea why people would comment to ask for reviews on other mixers. They should PM those requests--or do their own video reviews. ;)

[@GLBProductions]

You're welcome Henry, glad the video was helpful! This particular mixer (ZED60-14FX) is most definitely still available, at least in my part of the world. It is also still on the A&H global website, so I'm not sure where your information is coming from. On the 1/4" issue - it is incredibly helpful to have a second set of main outputs, whether for recording or sending to a second set of loudspeakers etc. Most other mixers in this price range from other manufacturers have both XLR and TRS outputs, so it's something that needs to be mentioned.

[@henryvanweeren7233]

Full of detail

[@jeromemckenna7102]

I've learned quite a bit from these. I am looking at the Yamaha entries because they have compression (we do family karaoke parties and kids will shout into the mike). What you demonstrate easily translates to most brands.

[@GLBProductions]

Nice to hear from you Jerome. One thing to bear in mind is that modern active loudspeaker systems have a great deal of processing already built in and are quite capable of 'taking care of themselves' when it comes sudden transients such as shouts/screams and dropped mics. I recently did a bare bones show with just this mixer and a pair of compressors inserted across the main mix - it sounded perfectly fine, even with really dynamic vocals on the lead singer, I was quite surprised! Of course having compressors on each individual channel gives more control, but I'm starting to believe that one can often do without.

[@GLBProductions]

No problem at all - just make sure you plug in all the mic before switching phantom power on, and switch if off before unplugging anything.

[@jeromemckenna7102]

Thanks, I've been looking at the slightly cheaper model in this series (no faders) but it seems otherwise identical to this one.

[@GLBProductions]

Yeah those are even more compact. You have to be careful though - the ZED10 and ZED10FX DO NOT have mute buttons! If you intend to use the mixer for live sound this is a pretty crucial feature to have unless you have a photographic memory ;)

[@jeromemckenna7102]

Oops forgot about that.

[@nyinyiphyo5435]

[@JellyRoll757]

Thanks for the great tutorial. Had a question. I’m looking at this board to get some basic eq before a tape machine. if I wanted to get multiple mono outputs could I do one channel panned left to main left output, one panned right to main right output, one to aux out, and one or two with the “listen” button pressed to the monitor or headphone jack? Would I be able to use these last two panned L and R? This could give me 4 or 5 separate channels.

[@GLBProductions]

Yes you could do that but it would be much better to purchase a mixer which was designed with tape-based recording in mind such as the Mackie 1604.

Effects Question 1: Can I place a different effect on each channel. For example channel 1 vocal mic input and apply FX 1. Channel 2 vocal mic and apply FX6. Channel guitar and apply FX9. Then have the two singers and guitarist all perform at the same time with different effects. Effects Question 2: For example channel 1 vocal mic input and apply FX 1 and FX6 at the same time to one vocal. Thank you for your video, very helpful in understanding which mixer I should purchase.

[@GLBProductions]

Answers: 1) No you cannot - one effect at a time only. 2) Ditto, although some of the presets combine more than one effect.

[@kodarlington]

Very helpful, thanks so much! What I don't get yet is how I can use an external effects unit in addition to the onboard effects. I'm taking this mixer for a test drive and was thinking I could use the aux out (stereo?) into my effects unit (Kaoss Pad KP3+) and then back in on one of the stereo channels or the playback in left and right. What I want to do is be able to send individual channels (or the whole mix) to the KP3 or other effect. Optimally, I would be able to put the wet signal back into the mix without the dry so when filtering for example, only the filtered sound would be heard. I'm not getting this this to work yet and thinking I must be missing something here. Thanks for considering! (my inputs are keyboards, samplers, and microphones)(outputs go to the house and/or to a digital recorder and studio monitors)

[@GLBProductions]

The connector to use for this application would be the 'FX out' - you can also use the aux out (if you wanted to use the internal FX engine simultaneously) but that output is pre-fader and thus you would need to set the balance with the aux knobs instead of the faders. These two outputs are both mono so no option for stereo output. Also you cannot send the main mix to either of these outputs. You would then bring the wet signal back into the mixer via one of the stereo channels, or the playback channel.

[@kodarlington]

Thanks!!

[@ForteeTwoTwenty]

Great vid! Question: "Output of the FX Bus is fixed at unity' Does this mean that the FX fader should be at unity, therefore mixing the levels of the effects using the indiviual channel strips? OR Sending the individual channels (using FX knob) to the FX and then bringing the 'FX LEVEL' fader up to mix and assume that the Return is already at unity? THANKS!

[@GLBProductions]

No, it means that there is no master volume for the signal bus which is fed by the yellow FX knobs on each channel and arrives at the "FX out" socket, unlike the "Aux mix level" knob which is the master volume for the AUX bus. It does not really pertain to the levels going to the internal FX unit. Either of the methods you describe above will work fine :)

[@ForteeTwoTwenty]

@@GLBProductions Thanks! Good to know.

[@HubertMurrayMusic]

Thanks again for this tutorial Bruno, really helpful. One question I have is related to my ZED 16FX. It doesn't have the record buttons like the ZED60 14FX. Does that mean that the REC OUT on the ZED16FX delivers the levels as you set them on individual channels and master?

[@GLBProductions]

Hello Hubert, on that mixer the REC OUT delivers a copy of the main mix that is pre-LR fader, post- LR insert. So it is affected by the individual channel faders but not by the master faders.

[@paulshearman138]

These videos are great, thank you. Please could you let me know what the 2 output XLRs are connected to? I'm hoping to run mine into an AER Compact 60.... would this work or this that not a balanced output? Thank you

[@GLBProductions]

Paul I'm not sure I understand your question - the two XLR outputs on this mixer carry the main left/right output of the mixer. Internally they are connected to the mixer's main summing amplifier and output drivers. They are line level, balanced, low impedance outputs but can be switched to mic level if needed.

[@paulshearman138]

@@GLBProductions thank you. Is it best to have a split XLR (left and right) to one jack/ XLR into the Compact 60 amp?

[@GLBProductions]

No, I'd just one one of the outputs (either left or right) and set it to mic level.

[@sideve5526]

Hello and congratulations for your videos! I have an ALLEN & HEATH ZED60 10 FX mixer and I would like to connect an ear monitor system, which mixer output should I use? Thank you!

[@GLBProductions]

IEMs ideally need a pre-fader, stereo auxiliary send, which this mixer does not have. I would suggest using either the AUX out (pre-fader but not stereo) or the MONITOR OUT (stereo but not pre-fader). You could also use the headphones output, if you are running your own sound.

[@faruambient]

thanks for this nice overview! I have the zed14 and I cant figure out how to route single tracks to the headphone out to prelisten with the channel fader down. is this possible? thanks!

[@GLBProductions]

Hi Fabien, are you referring to single tracks from your DAW or from the mixer's analog inputs?

[@faruambient]

@@GLBProductions the mixer analog inputs. All I can get is all channel monitored. The manual is not very helpful!

[@GLBProductions]

To monitor single channels you simply press the 'listen' button on that channel - make sure that your gain is set correctly and your headphones level is turned up! This button is labelled 'pre-fader listen' on other mixers.

[@faruambient]

@@GLBProductions ah thanks for helping out! using this pfl button it somehow turned the other volumes down. but ill play with this when I get home. must be some setting then.

You cannot connect the mixer directly to passive speakers, you need to connect to an amplifier first. If the speaker is active you can use the above method.

[@johngembka7052]

If I connect a compressor to this mixer by way of the main inserts and run a line from the mixer AUX out into the sidechain of the compressor, will ducking work?

[@GLBProductions]

No, because you will be compressing the entire mix, not just the channels you want to duck. A good idea, though!

[@Louisiana1975]

What is the best output source to send main mix to my headphone amp? It seems to work on the mix inserts below the xlr outputs, but then i get no sound on my xlr's. Hmm

[@GLBProductions]

That would be the main XLRs 😉 note that the inserts are not outputs: they're designed to be used with an insert cable to connect an external processor such as a compressor or EQ across the main LR bus before it comes out of the mixer. Alternatively you could use the record out or monitor out connectors if you need an unbalanced output.

Thank you so much! I am struggling with connecting my in ear monitor to the mixer. It is a sennheiser ew IEM G4-Twin A1. Can you guide me? Also, is it okay to connect my computer to channel M8 with a TRS cable? ( I use it for backing tracks and need for the channel to have more room for volume). Will really appreciate your help!

[@GLBProductions]

Hi there Dipali. Most IEM systems require a stereo input (left and right) to function effectively. This mixer does not have any stereo aux sends so you need to use either the headphone output, main LR output, record out or monitor out. For your computer, if you do not use the USB input I recommend connecting to one of the stereo channels - do not use a TRS cable to connect to M8 because that is not a stereo input.

[@SinghDipali]

@@GLBProductions thanks soooo much! last question... 1. is there an advantage in using a USB input instead of a Left right splitter from my macbook pro? and since our shows get super loud like a DJ show, will I have the headroom on the mixer to go really loud if I use the USB input . Also, would it be a good idea to use 2 mono channels as left and right (M7/M8) on the mixer giving me upto +60 db .. so much more than the USB channel?

[@GLBProductions]

I think there is some misunderstanding here about gain vs volume: gain is the level by which a signal must be increased to bring it to line level (around 1 volt) so that the mixer can process it. Volume comes from amplifiers and speakers - what you need is more volume, not more gain! So I suggest that you invest in a louder PA system if you need more volume for your shows. Trying to add more gain on your mixer will only result in distorted, horrible-sounding audio.

[@SinghDipali]

@@GLBProductions so grateful to you for your help. As you can see I am not very tech savvy with regards to sound reinforcement. Live singing with backing tracks is a hard battle when placed in the market against extremely loud DJ sound. I have some pretty good speakers : 2 qsc K12.2 's and 2 JBL's 515xt's .. the problem begins when we are unable to hear our vocals over the loud backing tracks when the party gets to the part with high energy music. I don't want to bother you too much.Could you point me in the direction of a source where I can learn how and what else I could add to my set up .Thanks so much again!

[@GLBProductions]

The issue of vocals not being loud enough is a perennial problem in live sound. For singers, in ear monitors are definitely a good solution to this, assuming they are set up correctly. I would approach the companies that sold you the equipment for some hands-on training - especially your in-ear monitor setup.

Great video, I have a question... Can I use a stander Line in (Standard CD Player) would the sound output would be good... (I mean the sort that doesn't sound dull like typically on a mic/instru pre-amps) I mean does it have standard AUDIO (music) preamps on any of the channels? and what are the best input type to achieve the best sound quality. Thanks

[@GLBProductions]

The preamps on this mixer (both mic and line) are designed to be relatively transparent - tonal changes if necessary are done using the EQ controls. So you should be able to connect a CD player to the line inputs and have it sound fine, as long as the channel EQ is set flat, i.e. all knobs at the 12 o'clock position.

[@DocFUNKist]

@@GLBProductions Just for the record... for most other brands (including ZOOM and TASCAM which I have tried) it is not the case. They are specifically designed ONLY for Mic / Instruments, you will never get clear sound out of them no matter how you will adjust the EQ. They do have a specially designed line input that can get you a clear sound but not the typical channels no.

[@GLBProductions]

What do you mean by 'a specially designed line input'? A channel that has line inputs only, without the mic preamp?

[@DocFUNKist]

​@@GLBProductionsa channel input that can take a finished audio level (MUSIC) not instrument and not MIC... Eg... CD Player signal.... 99% of the mixers don't... they have a terrible output for finished music. I hope this makes sense.... A simple example would be a podcast for instance... u would want a mic channel and a channel that plays music... well none of these channels can handle music signal that is not coming from an instruments or a MIC (both pre processing)

[@GLBProductions]

Yes - you seem to be referring to what we would term a line level input in the industry, in other words an input that is designed to accept a low impedance source outputting a level around +4dBu or 1.23 volts RMS. If you are this particular about sound quality I would recommend auditioning the mixers in person - that's the only way to ensure that you get the quality that you are after. Use only the channels that do not have a microphone preamp - i.e. 1/4" connectors only, without the XLR.

[@MrPatch1967]

Can you please give me the exact model numbers as used by A&H.

[@squishmusic]

Hoping to get some clarity here, bcoz Im getting myself well confused (and moreso after some A&H email ping-pong). I will first mention I am referring to the ZED10 mixer (since I just got one s/hand), but the layout seems very similar (except less ch's and no Int FX) - I want to connect 5 synth to my ZED10, but there are only two ST channels and 4 mono channels. - I want to run an external FX unit....but there are no dedicated FX returns, so what channels to use? - I also want to 'keep' the playback channel free as my USB signal back in from the PC. So it seems I am left with just 4 mono channels and 1 stereo. So, can I connect 3 synths (L/R outputs) to the M12, M34, and ST1 channels ok? Lastly if I ignore the USB and FX return can I simply run 5 synths into M12, M34, ST1, ST2 and utilise the Playback channels also? Lastly can the Main Inserts be used to connect a sub-mixer...? or where should I patch that in? THANKSSSSSS a LOT! :)

[@GLBProductions]

To answer your questions briefly in order: - You can return an external FX unit into the ST1, ST2 or playback channel, assuming the output of the FX unit is stereo, which most are. - Yes you can connect 3 synths in the way you describe. - Yes you can connect 5 synths in the other way you describe. Bear in mind that connecting a stereo source to two mono channels is not ideal from a control standpoint especially on a mixer with knobs as opposed to faders. - Main inserts cannot be used as a patch point for a sub-mixer without special cabling and/or modifying the mixer's circuitry. You need to run that into an input channel. It seems to me that you may be better served by a slightly larger mixer and/or one with more stereo input channels 😉

It depends on what you select in the "USB out source" section.

[@ReVibeProductions]

How many channels can be recorded to a DAW ? Can we record the main mix or all separate channels? Can we use usb to play audio from my pc.If yes how???? someone pls help out...

[@GLBProductions]

Hi Kutch, you can use any brand/model earphones with this mixer - choose the ones that you most prefer.

[@thomas9469]

Which effect is good for playing music vs speach

[@GLBProductions]

For recorded music playback I recommend no effects at all.

[@user-de3gm8em5m]

can you explain about mackie vlz 24.4 mixer please

[@GLBProductions]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@symonjamesmusic]

Is it me or can I hear high frequency artefacts when you switch over to the sm58? Or is this down to the way you uploaded/bounced audio…. For me it doesn’t sound clean…. Love the review but would like to know thanks 🙏🏻

[@GLBProductions]

The SM58 needed more gain than the AT875R so it's possible that interference in my environment is more noticeable - I didn't do anything special in the edit/export.

[@tremerockproduction538]

hello, is the "aux out" is stereo ?

[@GLBProductions]

No, it is mono, balanced.

[@LarryOohLaLa]

Thís mixer sounds good for small club

[@GLBProductions]

Sounds good for big clubs too! 😄

18:17​ Monitor out: when the button is pressed down And I turn up for the monitor level There still come sound off the speakers

[@GLBProductions]

That is correct. The concept is that in a recording setup you would connect the main outputs to your recorder and the monitor outs to your studio monitors.

[@InSaiyanShinobi]

Cek harga nya bos q

[@GLBProductions]

Maaf saya tidak menjual peralatan.

[@lymerbean88]

17:45 - One "trick" for a 1/4" main mix output if you need it - plug in a 1/4" plug into the main insert jack until you get the first "click" on the plug. Unbalanced 1/4" output.

[@GLBProductions]

This is a possible workaround, however I would never recommend doing this for an important event - much too easy for that plug to come loose or get pushed in all the way and bang no more signal.
