About this item

  • 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.
  • GS-Pre XLR microphone preamps, developed from those featured in the highly acclaimed GS-R24 studio console, these provide exceptionally low noise, massive headroom and plenty of clean gain for a full, warm sound that brings the best out of any microphone. Two HiZ connections also allow direct connection of high impedance sources such as electric, electro-acoustic or bass guitars and most clip or stick-on pickups for acoustic instruments, without the need for a separate DI box.
  • A 100Hz High Pass Filter on every mono input allows unneeded low frequencies to be removed, then the 3-band MusiQ EQ uses carefully selected frequencies to ensure your sound sculpting is always musical. Cut or boost high, mids and lows to get the tone you’re after without the fear of going wrong!
  • Road proven, high-quality Neutrik XLR sockets used on all microphone inputs and main outputs.
  • A 60mm main level fader provides complete control over the master output.
  • 2 Mic, 2 Line/Inst, 2 Stereo (2 Left, 2 Right)


ZED-6 has been created for musicians, singer/songwriters and venues seeking Allen & Heath’s renowned build and audio quality in a compact, portable format. Whether it’s bouncing ideas around at home, performing live, or recording tracks to share on YouTube and Sound cloud, ZED-6 is a versatile companion for every step of the creative journey. Featuring the new GSPre boutique preamp design, developed from the revered GS-R24 studio-recording console, the ZED boasts exceptionally low noise and massive headroom, with a signature analog warmth and depth. Guitarists will be pleased to know that ZED-6 comes with a pair of Guitar DI high impedance inputs, allowing guitars to be plugged straight into the mixer without the hassle and expense of carrying separate DI boxes. ZED-6 features an exceptional new preamp design, created by analog guru Mike Griffin, and developed from his highly acclaimed GS-R24 studio-recording console. Known as GSPre, the preamps deliver exceptionally low noise and massive headroom, and the warmth and depth that Allen & Heath’s analog range is famous for. For tonal shaping, the precise MusiQ EQ controls have been carefully calibrated for responsiveness and precision, making it easy to shape and enhance each musical source. All ZED mixers are designed and built to Allen & Heath’s legendary touring grade standards to ensure a long life in the toughest environments. All channels are on individual, vertical circuit boards and all rotary controls are secured to the front panel with a steel nut to guard against impact damage. ZED-6 comes with two Guitar DI high impedance jack inputs, allowing guitars to be plugged straight into the mixer without the need for DI boxes. That’s one less piece of gear to buy, carry and set up. Allen & Heath has been a trusted name in professional audio since 1969. The ZED technology advances, but the commitment to audio excellence and build quality endures.

I have a more dedicated project studio downstairs, but I wanted something decent for my office setup as well.Being a bit old school, I was excited to add a small mixer between my M1 MacBook/Motu M4 interface and Presonus Eris monitors. I was hoping for more versatility and control over random inputs I might want to experiment with.However, after a bit of back-and-forth testing, it became obvious that the signal sounded significantly better coming straight from the Motu—whether through the headphone jack or stereo outs. Both the speakers and headphones (AKG 701s) lost definition when routed through the mixer, even with the EQ set to flat. The EQ itself was unimpressive, and the headphone jack was particularly disappointing. While it’s been some time since I returned the mixer, I distinctly recall that it lost too much of the soundstage, making the listening experience underwhelming.I wouldn’t recommend this mixer if you’ve got a bit of experience with audio and are picky about sound quality. It’s been years since I worked in a music studio or audio QA (I’m a ceramic artist now!), and while I’m not a hardcore audiophile, I do expect a certain baseline experience, even for casual use.In the end, all I needed was the interface, despite my fondness for mixers. I’m honestly blown away by how good the Motu M4 and the Presonus monitors turned out to be. Unlike some other brands (A&H comes to mind), these companies haven't been bought out, which I think helps maintain their quality (No recouping buyout expenses, perhaps).

Finalmente ho trovato, dopo vari tentativi e prove, il mixer perfetto per il mio duo voce/violino elettrico 5 corde/basi midi arrangiate. Ottimi preamp, ottimo suono, piccolo leggero e facilmente trasportabile, ottime le due uscite XLR per le casse.Grandissimo punto a favore è il tastino grigio sotto ad ogni canale che permette di assegnare a propria scelta i canali da mettere in cuffia monitor, veramente comodissimo e pratico! Io ho preso quello senza effetti perché sia la mia compagna con la voce sia io col violino abbiamo già ciascuno i propri pedali effetti. Lo consiglio vivamente tutti i musicisti che suonano in duo, massimo in trio. Per gruppi più grandi esiste la stessa serie ma con più canali.

High Quality Portable Pro Sound Mixer! 2 XLR / 1/4 inch inputs. 2 stereo 1/4 inch (L & R) inputs and 2 XLR outputs. 4 Headphone Cues & output. +48V. I rented the same model locally a few times, loved it & Now Own one! My 2 Shure Mics sound way better using this little Zed6 mixer than running mics straight through my Pioneer DJ Controllers. It has a thick power cord instead of a thin flimsy USB power cord like other similar priced & sized mixers I’ve bought and returned on Amazon. Tested it today and sounded great with my brand new QSC k12.2 speakers. Will update review if any issues arise.

I purchased this a couple of years ago and I have neve had a complaint. Firstly, the build quality is magnificent. Very solid and delivers excellent, noiseless sound. Sure the price tag was hefty but this is a high quality device. I have tried a couple of the 'other brands' in a similar price point and I can only say that I was underwhelmed with them. This unit is quiet, full of great effect settings and feature. I particularly like the power supply is built in and only requires the cord. This is the first Allen & Heath that I have owned and can honestly say that I would not bother with any other brand again.

Solid product, but could be much better if there was an extra pair of 1/4 TRS outs. That would make it a perfect little mixer.

A&H is so far ahead of all the mass market products. Even with their low price point products they never compromise the sound. Outstanding!
