SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNINGS -

Read the following before proceeding :

CAUTION

ATTENTION: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE – NE PAS OUVRIR

Read instructions:

Retain these safety and operating instructions for future reference. Adhere to all warnings printed here and on the console. Follow the operating instructions printed in this Guide.

Do not remove cover:

Operate the console with its covers correctly fitted.

Power sources:

Connect the console to a mains power unit only of the type described in this Guide and marked on the rear . Use the power cord with sealed mains plug appropriate for your local mains supply as provided with the console. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet consult your service agent for assistance.

Power cord routing:

Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on, stretched or pinched by items placed upon or against it.

Grounding:

Do not defeat the grounding and polarisation means of the power cord plug. Do not remove or tamper with the ground connection in the power cord.

!

WARNING: This equipment must be earthed.

Water and moisture:

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock do not expose the console to rain or moisture or use it in damp or wet conditions. Do not place containers of liquids on it which might spill into any openings.

Ventilation:

Do not obstruct the ventilation slots or position the console where the air flow required for ventilation is impeded. If the console is to be operated in a rack unit or flightcase ensure that it is constructed to allow adequate ventilation.

Heat and vibration:

Do not locate the console in a place subject to excessive heat or direct sunlight as this could be a fire hazard. Locate the console away from any equipment which produces heat or causes excessive vibration.

Servicing:

Switch off the equipment and unplug the power cord immediately if it is exposed to moisture, spilled liquid, objects fallen into the openings, the power cord or plug become damaged, during lightening storms, or if smoke, odour or noise is noticed. Refer servicing to qualified technical personnel only.

Installation:

Install the console in accordance with the instructions printed in this Guide. Do not connect the output of power amplifiers directly to the console. Use audio connectors and plugs only for their intended purpose.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Important Mains plug wiring instructions The console is supplied with a moulded mains plug fitted to the AC mains power lead. Follow the instructions below if the mains plug has to be replaced. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

TERMINAL

!

WIRE COLOUR European

USA/Canada

L

LIVE

BROWN

BLACK

N

NEUTRAL

BLUE

WHITE

E

EARTH GND

GREEN & YELLOW

GREEN

The wire which is coloured Green and Yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or with the Earth symbol. This appliance must be earthed. The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N. The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L. Ensure that these colour codes are followed carefully in the event of the plug being changed.

General Precautions: Damage :

To prevent damage to the controls and cosmetics avoid placing heavy objects on the control surface, scratching the surface with sharp objects, or rough handling and vibration.

Environment :

Protect from excessive dirt, dust, heat and vibration when operating and storing. Avoid tobacco ash, smoke, drinks spillage, and exposure to rain and moisture. If the console becomes wet, switch off and remove mains power immediately. Allow to dry out thoroughly before using again.

Cleaning :

Avoid the use of chemicals, abrasives or solvents. The control is best cleaned with a soft brush and dry lint-free cloth. The faders, switches and potentiometers are lubricated for life. The use of electrical lubricants on these parts is not recommended. The fader and potentiometer knobs may be removed for cleaning with a warm soapy solution. Rinse and allow to dry fully before refitting them.

Transporting :

The console may be transported as a free-standing unit or mounted in a rack or flightcase. Protect the controls from damage during transit. Use adequate packing if you need to ship the unit.

Hearing :

To avoid damage to your hearing do not operate any sound system at excessively high volume. This applies particularly to close-to-ear monitoring such as headphones and in-ear systems. Continued exposure to high volume sound can cause frequency selective or wide range hearing loss.

INTRODUCTION TO THE ZED-12FX & 22FX The following is a technical overview of ZED, if you want to, please skip to the next section. The Allen & Heath ZED series mixers have been carefully and lovingly designed in the beautiful county of Cornwall in the UK and is manufactured alongside a wide range of professional audio mixing consoles. Many of the components used in ZED are exactly the same as in the larger Allen & Heath products and the construction methods are also very similar — utilising individual vertically mounted channel circuit boards with each rotary control fixed with a metal nut to the front . This provides a very robust product that will resist damage and give years of reliable use. It also makes servicing much easier should it be required, with the ability to remove one particular channel from the mixer at a time, or easily change a fader. The audio circuitry is based on years of continual development and refinement , the performance of all the elements within the mixer scrutinised and perfected to ensure the very best sound quality possible.

Multi-application: ZED’s are great for live mixing! Their layout makes them very easy to use and the 100mm faders give much better control of the mix compared to most products at a similar price. They are also great for recording, either a live show or an audio project at home can be built up track by track and studio monitor speakers can be fed from the Alt Outputs. ZED mixers are also ideal for teaching establishments, houses of worship, hotels and conference centres where their ease of use and robust qualities make them a top choice.

Mic/Line Pre-amps: Based on the pre-amps from the PA series, the ZED-12FX & 22FX pre-amps use a two stage design, with carefully controlled amounts of gain in each stage. When amplifying the signal from the XLR input, the gain range is huge (69dB of range to be exact) and is very evenly distributed around the gain control, meaning better control of signal level. Most of the gain comes from the first stage, so unwanted noise is kept to a minimum. There is no “pad” switch, or pad circuit — line level signals are simply plugged into the second stage of the pre-amp by using the line input jack socket. This has the great advantage of lower noise when using the line input. (It is common to attenuate line level signals, the amplify them back up again which can give more noise or hiss).

EQ: The ZED series mixers are equipped with a 3-band equaliser circuit on each mono input and a 2-band EQ on the stereo channels. The frequency and response of each has been carefully chosen to give the maximum performance when using the EQ on a variety of sources.

AUX system: Zed 12FX & 22fX mixers have 4 Aux buses. 3 are used for connecting external equipment such as foldback stage monitors, or external effects processors, and one is used for the internal effects processor.

Effects Processor: Zed 12FX & 22FX mixers have a professional quality effects processor built in which uses our own effects algorithms developed by our talented engineering staff at Allen & Heath. The effects range from classic reverbs, cascaded delay plus reverbs to shimmering flanger & chorus effects. The different effects types are selected with a simple up/down button interface and the tempo of the delay settings can be entered using the TAP button. Holding the TAP button allows the parameters of the effects to be adjusted. The audio signal to the DSP is converted using 24 bit high dynamic range converters running at 48kHz sample rate, ensuring low noise, low distortion, transparent effects.

Mono and Stereo Channels: One of the great things about the ZED series is the number and variety of things you can plug in. In addition to the mono channels there are four stereo channels, each with a main stereo input on jack sockets, three of them have the ability to take additional stereo inputs from phono sockets or from the USB audio input, flexibility gives you control.

USB: Getting audio to and from a computer easily is now a common requirement for live sound and music production. The way we have implemented this on ZED is super-flexible and super-easy! No longer do you need to fiddle around the back of your computer to get to the soundcard inputs, only to find that the levels are all wrong and noisy. Just plug in a USB lead to your ZED, select the USB routing on the mixer and the device on your computer and that’s it! Quality audio to and from your PC or MAC.

As you can tell, we’re very proud of this product we hope you like it too.

Auxes 1 & 2 Each of these controls sends a signal to an auxiliary bus. The signal is sourced pre-fade which means that the level is independent of, and unaffected by the fader. Auxes 1 & 2 are primarily used for foldback monitoring purposes, as the fader does not affect the level. They can also be used as feeds for recording and are available sources to the USB interface for this purpose. These sends are affected by the Mute switch, so muting the channel will also mute the Aux sends. The control varies the signal level to the bus from off (fully attenuated) to +6dB, with unity gain at the arrow. There are master level controls for the Aux 1 & 2 outputs situated in the master section of the mixer.

Auxes 3 & FX These are post-fade sends, which means that the signals are affected by the channel fader.

This is an under- selector switch that configures Auxes 1 & 2 to be either mono sends or a stereo send pair. UP: A mono sum of the left & right stereo channel signal is sent to Aux buses 1 & 2 by the control knobs. DOWN: The left stereo channel signal is sent to Aux 1 and the right is sent to Aux 2 by the control knobs. Note: This can be useful when setting up a seperate stereo output from the main L R output using Auxes 1 & 2, possibly for recording. This can be selected to feed the USB output to create an independent stereo feed for recording using a computer.

This is stereo input channel ST1 as described on previous pages.

The only difference from stereo input channel ST1 is the labelling of the additional stereo input on phono connectors, labelled as 2 Track Return. This is to indicate that a 2 track (stereo) input can be inserted here for playback of a stereo recording or incidental music.

Stereo Input Channel ST3 Stereo input channel ST3 also has an additional stereo input, but instead of being on phono connectors, it comes from the USB audio input. The level control, ON switch and routing switch are the same as for stereo input channel ST1. It is best to leave the ON switch in its UP position when the USB input is not in use. The phono sockets carry the analogue record output signals that are sourced from the main L R outputs. They are pre-fade, post L R insert.

Effects Channel and ST4 input. The FX or Effects channel has one stereo input (ST4) on jack sockets which adds to the output of the built in digital effects processor. This stereo input can be used with an external effects processor to return the effects signal to the main mix. The phono sockets carry the Alternate stereo output which comes from the selector switches and level control in the master section.

USB connector & output selection. A standard USB type B connector plugs in here (cable supplied). The three selector switches determine what is sent on the USB output. They work on a priority system, so that if more than one is pressed the one nearest the top takes precedence. So if all 3 are pressed, then the Aux 1 & 2 signals would be sent by the USB device.

If the Bank LED is off the green LED’s will show one of 1 to 8 on the effects list (or off if no LED’s are lit), if the Bank LED is on the green LED’s will show which of effects types 9 to 16 is selected. For effects types 1 to 5, the green LED will blink in time with the tempo of the delay time. The green LED’s also display the level of the parameter adjustment when the TAP button is held down. The more LED’s that illuminate, the more the parameter is increased in value or intensity.

The SEL buttons select the type of effect. They also adjust the parameter of the selected effect when the TAP button is held down.

The TAP button is used in two ways. If one of effects types 1 to 5 are selected then the TAP button can be used for adjusting the frequency or tempo of the delay parameter. If the TAP button is held down, the SEL buttons then become parameter adjust buttons to increase or decrease the level of the parameter assigned to the selected effect.

These controls send the effects processor output signal (and the external effects return on ST4) to the Aux buses 1 & 2, either in mono or stereo depending on the under- selector switch (described on Page17). These send controls are commonly used to add some reverb or effect onto the Aux 1 & 2 buses that may be used for stage monitoring or foldback. The overall level from these send controls will be affected by the fader and the Mute switch, so the effect can be quickly cut from the monitors if required (for announcements etc).

The Balance control varies the relative levels between the left and right channels.

Mutes the effect signals to the main L R and the Aux buses. The Footswitch jack socket can also be used to mute the effects signal.

The Pre-Fade Listen switch takes a mono sum of the stereo effects signals from before the fader and mute switch. When pressed the signal will appear on the L R meters and be fed to the headphones circuit for monitoring. The PK! LED illuminates dimly to indicate the PFL switch is pressed, and brightly to indicate the effects signal is within 5dB of clipping

There are 16 different effects presets in the ZED Effects Processor. Each is fed with a mono signal from the FX bus, and the output from the effects processor is in stereo. Each preset has a parameter adjust control which is matched to the preset. This control may morph several parameters all at once, for example the parameter control for the Chorus effect will adjust not only the depth, but the response of the filters in software to create a more or less intense effect. In general, when adjusting the effect parameter, the more LED’s that are illuminated, the more intense the effect or higher the parameter value. To restore the parameter settings to the factory defaults, hold down both SEL buttons whilst switching on the power to your ZED.

48v Phantom Power switch Press this in to switch 48v Phantom Power to all the Mic input xlr connectors, if any of the microphones attached require power. Dynamic microphones won’t mind being connected to a phantom powered input, but care is needed to ensure that 48v is not switched on if an xlr is used to input a signal from an electronic circuit (ie. Another mixer or keyboard). When switching 48v on or off, or plugging in connectors to channels with 48v present, it is important (and normal practise) to mute the channels. This will avoid loud clicks and bangs potentially getting through to the amps & speakers with the possible effect of damaging the speakers, or the audience’s hearing!

The ZED is equipped with a stereo bi-directional USB 1.1 compliant audio CODEC. It is fully compliant with USB 2 ports and uses standard Windows and MAC Core Audio Drivers. In other words, plug it in and your computer will find it and be able to transfer audio to and from the ZED USB device. You will need some form of audio software running on your computer to be able to record and play back what you record, but on a basic level, you can use your computers media player to play straight to the ZED device. Just a couple of points to look out for: 1. When you plug in your ZED USB interface to your computer, check the device volume in:

Control \Sounds & Audio Devices\Volume

If the volume is not fully up

Then drag it fully up like this…...

Then click Apply

2.

If you want to reduce latency (delay) there are some different drivers available for your operating system. Please check the Allen & Heath website www.allen-heath.com for details and links to third party companies able to supply appropriate drivers for your operating system.

SONAR LE Installation. Put disk into CD or DVD ROM drive and follow instructions on screen!

SONAR LE Audio Configuration with ZED. To configure your SONAR LE software to communicate audio to and from your ZED mixing console, follow the sequence below. Ensure the ZED mixing console is powered on. Connect the USB lead from the computer to the USB port on ZED. First check that your computer has recognised the connection of the ZED USB device by clicking Settings/Control /Sounds and Audio Devices. The device name should be USB Audio CODEC (ensure there are no other external audio devices attached to the computer). Also ensure the Device Volume is set to High. This can default to the middle during connection which means very low volume from the USB device, so it’s worth checking the first few times you connect. The properties window should look like this: It is also a good idea to select “No Sounds” in the Sounds window.

Next, run SONAR LE. Click Options/Audio and click on the Drivers tab. The Input drivers are the audio sources to the computer, here we have enabled the USB Audio Dewhich is the ZED mixing console USB device, and disabled the audio from the soundcard in the pc. So the computer is set up to receive audio from ZED.

vice

The Output Drivers are the audio outputs from the computer. Here you can see that the pc soundcard has 4 stereo outputs (all disabled) and the software has located the USB Audio Device which is ZED. Tick to enable it. You will now be able to select your ZED USB left & right outputs as inputs to SONAR LE and be able to send audio to your ZED from SONAR outputs.

In order to show how to select inputs to SONAR tracks, here is a basic Cakewalk project (.cwp). This is created by clicking File/New/Normal and then inserting a second audio track by clicking Insert/Audio Track from the main toolbar. Click on the I/O tab near the bottom of the window, then click the expand buttons in the audio track panes. The tracks 1 & 2 have been re-named ZED Left and ZED Right by double clicking the name field. Click the I and the O fields to select inputs and outputs for the track. Here we have selected the USB Left signal to go to Track 1 (ZED Left) and the USB Right signal to go to track 2 (ZED Right), panned them accordingly and selected the track outputs to be the Master Bus. If audio is present, click the Input Echo buttons (lit up yellow here) to monitor the signals on the Master Bus. The output for the Master Bus is displayed in the field marked “O” in the Master Bus pane below the input tracks. You can see here it says USB Audio Device, which is the ZED USB input. SONAR will configure this automatically if there is only one output device enabled in the Output Drivers Options window (above).

You should now be able to send audio to and from your ZED mixing console using SONAR LE. To test this, let’s do a recording….

Allen & Heath


27


To record the audio on tracks 1 & 2, click the R buttons so they light up red, then the record button (circle) on the transport controls on the top icon toolbar. (Or select larger transport controls from Views). The audio wave profile will show in the track panes. Click stop (Square) when finished. To listen to the recording, click rewind, then de-select the input echo buttons (to the right of the R buttons. Also disarm the tracks by deselecting the R buttons.

Click Play (or spacebar) and the recorded audio should play to the USB port on your ZED mixing console where you can either monitor it, route it to the main stereo bus, or route it to stereo channel 11-12.

You can use SONAR LE and your ZED mixer together in many ways, for example straightforward recording of a stereo mix, recording tracks individually to build up a song, or sending a postfade mix from ZED and inserting an effects plug-in from SONAR LE, returning the post-effects signal to the mix in ZED. It is a very versatile combination and we hope you find it a creative and enjoyable product partnership.
