The Allen & Heath ZED-14 stands out as an analog mixer built for performers who value hands-on control and unmistakable audio quality. With 14 total channels – six mono and four stereo – it’s a smart choice for live bands, mobile AV setups and solo performers alike.
This compact console offers precision without overcomplicating things. Mono inputs include a 3-band EQ with sweepable mids, while stereo inputs provide straightforward 2-band equalization. ZED-14 features the brand’s trusted DuoPre preamps, known for delivering clean gain and outstanding low-noise performance. You get -127 dBu EIN and a wide 69 dB gain range, making every mic input punchy and articulate.
It doesn’t just sound good—it reacts quickly. Long-throw 100 mm faders make level control intuitive, while individual aux sends let you easily route mixes to monitors or external effects. Plus, with its USB-B interface, you can send and return audio to your computer without an external interface. This turns Allen & Heath ZED-14 into a powerful hub for both live events and content creation.
The mixer’s frequency response reaches up to 30 kHz, depending on the input type. Total harmonic distortion stays incredibly low – even under demanding conditions. With this level of detail and reliability, it becomes a go-to tool for sound engineers working under pressure.
At Vera Multimedia, we choose the ZED-14 when analog warmth and fast control matter most – especially during exhibitions, hybrid conferences or AV-heavy environments. Compact, rugged and surprisingly flexible, it proves that analog still has a lot to offer in professional scenarios.
