## Overview

The Allen & Heath ZED-22FX is a robust 22-channel mixer designed for touring musicians and home studios alike. Featuring premium DuoPre XLR preamps with 69dB gain and 48V phantom power, it delivers pristine audio clarity. Its built-in DSP offers 16 high-quality, tweakable effects developed in-house, eliminating the need for external FX units. With versatile aux sends and a class-compliant USB interface, it supports seamless multi-channel recording and streaming on Mac, Windows, and mobile devices. Durable and professional, the ZED-22FX is a powerhouse mixer that balances studio-grade sound with user-friendly flexibility.

## Description

Complementing the existing ZED series, the ZED FX has been developed around an FX chipset purely for the new model. Our DSP engineers have been working hard, crafting and refining beautiful reverb algorithms. The effects are available nowhere else - this quality and integration is only available from the ZED FX. The ZED-22FX is a 22 channel mixer with USB interface and onboard EFX. It has 16 essential time-delay effects which add to the already bulging feature set. The mixer is ideal for small groups who don’t want to carry around an effects unit with their gear but who still want great quality FX at their gigs and on their recordings.

Review: A great board that performs above its pricepoint for small home studios - This board is the hub of my home vocal studio, where I work as a professional Voiceover Artist. The ZED-14 is an easy way to route my inputs between my DAWs and other outputs (headphones at the recording desk and in the booth, studio monitors, etc.). The board also has the input and output flexibility to allow me to run Skype mix-minus set ups, telephone VOIP patches, etc., so that clients can listen to and comment on my work in real time while I'm in the booth, but I can exclude their inputs from the Mains output, so their comments don't make it to my DAW master tracks. The USB interface is solid and doesn't seem to introduce any problematic latency (though I monitor directly from the mains output, not from the USB Return). I also don't notice any digital artifacting and, in fact, think that it does as well at analog-digital conversion as my much more expensive Lavry converter that's a dedicated box in my signal chain. The entire board has an extremely solid and professional feel to it. Granted, I'm a VO artist and engineer and don't tote it from gig to gig or hammer on it during multi-feed recording sessions, but I have a lot of confidence in the durability and longevity of the board. The mic preamps are good, but not great. For a board in this price range, they're solid and should be fine for most gigging musicians and basic home recording. They're very quiet with a very, very low noise floor and good responsiveness. The gain controls, 100Hz Hi-pass filter, and 3 band EQ all perform their jobs, and the sweepable mid-frequency EQ is a really nice feature. Unfortunately, for what I do, the preamps don't have the chops to deliver on powerful Voiceovers with top-shelf tube mics. I can't hold that against the ZED in the rating, though. It's not billed as a full signal chain solution; in order to get the sound I need, I have to run through a channel strip with a compressor, more powerful pre, de-esser/limiter, and a more surgical EQ. Overall, this board is a critical part of my studio and sound chain. It's flexibility allows me to offer client services that other boards don't, and until I started pairing it with boutique tube mics it met all of my daily needs.
Review: Excellent Mixer with Effects...Won't break the bank either! - I orginally bought a Heath & Allen ZED-12FX from an online music distributor (who will remain anonymous!). It turned out that I need more inputs than what the unit had. So, I decided to upgrade to the ZED-22FX...actually found it cheaper on desertcart...more than $150 cheaper! Same quality as the "big guys". This mixer has it all...enough capability to turn your basement into a studio, or play out somewhere on a medium-size gig with ease. It will easily handle any external music device and any instrument/XLR mic input. The 3-band EQ is fairly straight-forward to use, and you can even adjust the amount of effect to each channel...a nice feature if you want more reverb on the vocals but a lesser amount on the drums. The effects are definitely studio quality, and will stand up to an rank-mounted effects you can buy. All sliders have a pro-feel to them, and it even comes with the Roland X2 Sonar (Calkwake) software to record directly from the mixer to your laptop using the included USB cable. I use it for every gig my band plays in, and all of our practices too. I even go direct to my powered FOH speakers and the sound is clear as a bell! I highly recommend this mixer, you will not be disappointed!

## Features

- DuoPre XLR Microphone preamps, including 48V Phantom power for condenser microphones and up to 69dB of gain. Each preamp uses two gain stages to provide a full and accurate sound across the entire gain range with enough power for even the most gain hungry mics.
- A 100Hz High Pass Filter on every mono input allows unneeded low frequencies to be removed, then the 3-band MusiQ EQ with swept mid frequency uses carefully selected frequencies to ensure your sound sculpting is always musical. Cut or boost highs and lows with shelving EQ and use the mid frequency selection to choose exactly where to adjust the mid frequencies, especially useful for vocals, guitar and other instruments with a rich mid-range.
- Two ‘Pre-Fade’ Auxiliary outputs enable separate mixes to be sent to monitor speakers or any feeds that require a mix of channels independent of the main mix. Another two ‘Post-Fade’ Auxiliary outputs sends signal at a level which follows the send level to the main mix, ideal for use with external FX units, feeds to subwoofers or creating a mix for streaming or recording.
- 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.
- A routable stereo-in stereo-out USB connection makes it easy to record the whole main mix or just the channels you need and enables a stereo return from the connected device to be routed back to the mix. 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.
- 16 Mic, 16 Line/ Inst, 3 Stereo (2 Left, 2 Right), 2 USB Audio, 1 FX Return

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it work with other daws like garageband?**
A: Hello,

Yes, this should work in garageband without issue. Keep in mind though that you can't record every track separately. Only the stereo mix.

If this was helpful, please consider purchasing from us (pixelproaudio on Amazon). We can help with support after the sale as well. We have it in stock and ready to ship. - Pixel Pro Audio

**Q: Is it possible to add or connect a powered subwoofer to zed14 and how to connect?...thanks**
A: not by iteself. you would need an active crossover like the DBX 223 and run the outputs of the mixer to the crossover. then then sum to low out of the crossover using the button on the back and the highs to your monitors or power amp. I got my crossover used on ebay for much less than retail.

**Q: Is this a powered or unpowered mixer?**
A: If you are asking if this mixer has an amplified output stage, no it does not. It has standard line level outputs. It's a very nice product with clean transparent preamps. USB out only supports 44.1kHz sampling rate. Overall it's built well and sounds excellent. A very good deal for the typical price. I own several mixers and this is now my favorite for location work.

**Q: Hi, Would you recommend a Yamaha MGP Series (Not MG) over the zed? I have tried to do so much research on the mixer, zed has no compressor built in**
A: Hi. I use my mixer only for connections in my home studio. I don't need EQ, FX. If you you need mixer for "live", I recommend this one: http://www.allen-heath.com/ahproducts/wz4-14-4-2/or, if you need mixer "all-in-one", this one: http://www.presonus.com/products/StudioLive-16.0.2

### ⭐ Paid for new received used.
*by C***N on May 18, 2025*

Great mixer, but paid for brand new and received used and was missing all cabling. Attempts to contact the manufacturer were ignored. Amazon support wants proof it was used, but how do you prove missing components. Very disappointed. Amazon customer since the 90s and have never complained. Amazon clearly no longer cares for its customers. A+H I will never purchase from again
