The Allen & Heath ZED-420 4-bus audio mixer offers 16 mono inputs, plus 2 dual stereo channels and features the padless DuoPreTM mic/line pre-amplifier to deliver a high-headroom, low-noise signal. Its 4-band, 2-sweep EQ (along with its low noise summing amps) is borrowed from the acclaimed GL2400, while the bus architecture is a simplified, but equally comprehensive version of what's employed in the renowned GL series.
Its USB audio interface, with its uniquely flexible capability, allows different signals to be sent to USB, from LR or from selected aux buses. The USB return signal can be routed straight to the LR mix, or to a stereo channel. Connectors are on top for easy plugging and patching. Construction, with individual circuit boards firmly nutted to the top panel, is as rock-solid as Allen & Heath's top-of-the-range ML Series audio mixers.
Also included is SONAR LE digital audio workstation software for Windows. With audio and MIDI multi-track recording and mixing capability, effects plug-ins and editing features, SONAR LE enables the ZED-420 4-Bus mixer to become a live recording or home recording mixer.
