ZED 6- 6 Channel Live + Recording Mixer User Guide

Thank you for purchasing this Allen & Heath ZED 6. -

We recommend that you read all of this user guide to get the best from your mixer and after

reading, please keep this safe for future reference.

Included in this package is:

 ZED 6 Mixer -

 IEC C5 Mains Power Cable. Please check correct mains plug is fitted for your country.

 This User Guide!

1. Get to know your mixer

1.1 MONO INPUT CHANNELS (M)

1. Mic Input Socket uses a standard 3 Pin XLR socket for connecting dynamic -

or condenser microphones.

2. Line / Inst Input Socket uses a standard 1/4” (6.25mm) Jack socket for

connecting balanced or unbalanced signals such as guitars and other

instruments.

3. Gain Control adjusts the gain of the input preamplifier to drive the

source signal level. Gain ranges from 5dB to 60dB.

4. Instrument Line / Inst input activates the circuit for electro acoustic and -

electric guitars, basses and other Direct Input instruments. When activated

the Mic Input Socket is disabled.

5. lo-cut (Hi Pass Filter) is used for reducing Low Frequency noise such as -

handling noise, popping, rumble and proximity effect in microphone signals.

6. HF EQ (High Frequency) equaliser affects treble frequencies in the

signal for adding “brightness” and “definition” or for reducing “hiss” and

“harshness”.

7. LF EQ (Low Frequency) equaliser affects bass frequencies in the signal

to cover “boom” and “sub bass” frequencies.-

8. PAN adjusts signal from a mono input channel between the left and

right busses and subsequently the main outputs.

9. MIX rotary fader controls the amount of signal to the left and right

busses.

10. -Pre Fade Listen (PFL) switches the channel input signal to the

headphones for checking before adding it to Mix. The signal is taken PFL

after the but before the control. EQ MIX

The LR Meters display the channel input level when the PFL switch is

activated.

1.3 MASTER SECTION

1. MAIN OUT L & R are line level outputs for the main stereo mix using standard XLR

output connectors and are impedance balanced for rejection of unwanted interference.

2. 48V switches industry standard 48V (phantom power) to all the microphone inputs for

use with condenser microphones and active D.I. boxes requiring +48V.

3. POWER LED indicates that the mixer is switched on.

4. LR Meters MAIN MIX PFL display the level of the or the mono signal if activated by any

of the PFL switches.

5. MAIN MIX fader is the master volume control for the main stereo mix.

6. -PFL (Pre Fade Listen) LED PFL indicates when a switch has been pressed on one of

the channels.

7. PHONES level PHONES output controls the volume of signal to the .

Warning! To avoid damage to your hearing do not operate headphones or sound

system at excessively high volume. Continued exposure to high volume sound can cause

frequency selective or wide range hearing loss!

!

8. PHONES output uses a standard 1/4” (6.25mm) jack socket.

1.2 STEREO INPUT CHANNELS (ST)

ST1 ST2 Inputsand use standard 1/4” (6.25mm) Jack sockets for balanced or

unbalanced line level stereo sources such as professional keyboards, drum

machines and other pro audio equipment.

ST1 ST2 Gain Control and adjusts the input level to the channel.

HF LF EQ ST1 ST2 M2 and are the same for & as they are for M1 & and are set

at the same frequencies.

BAL adjusts the relative level between the left and right stereo signals as they

are sent to the left and right busses and subsequently the main outputs.

2.1 “Zeroing”

It’s good practice to “zero” your mixer and turn down relevant channels before

connecting any devices as this prevents potential damage to speakers or

other equipment.

Follow these steps to make sure you’re safe and you avoid thumps and

bangs when plugging equipment in.

Speakers should always be switched ON LAST OFF FIRST!and

1. Make sure the power switch on the rear of the mixer is set to “ ”OFF

2. Connect the AC Mains Lead provided to the AC MAINS IN socket on the rear of the

mixer.

Check that the correct mains plug is fitted for your country and plug the AC Mains

Lead into a standard household mains socket.

3. Turn channel Gain controls all the way down (left).

4. Make sure Instrument, HPF PFL 48V , and switches are not pressed in.

5. Set all channel and controls to the centre position marked “▼”EQ PAN

6. Turn all FX send, AUX send MIX and controls all the way down (left).

7. Lower the MAIN MIX fader to “∞”.

8. Turn down the PHONES level.

9. Double check speakers or amplifiers are switched off!

10. Connect speakers, instruments and other equipment.

11. Switch on instruments and other equipment, then mixer, speakers ! THEN

Speaker or amp volumes should be set according to manufacturer guidelines. !

3.1 Connecting Microphones

Dynamic or condenser microphones and DI boxes should be connected to the Mic Input Socket

using a balanced XLR Microphone cable.

If you‘re using a condenser microphone, it will require Phantom Power to work.48V

Some active DI boxes may also require phantom power.

Avoid ‘hot plugging’ when connecting any equipment and make sure AUX MASTER MAIN MIXand controls

are turned down before is switched on as this as may cause loud thumps and bangs! 48V

3.2 Connecting Instruments and Line Level Equipment-

High Impedance (Hi Z) instruments such as electro acoustic guitars, basses and other Direct - - -

Input instruments should be connected to Line / Inst Inputs on channels using a jack to M1 & M2

jack instrument cable, and do not require an additional DI box or preamp.

The Instrument switch must be activated to match extremely high impedance signals (10MΩ)

from instrument pickups.

Line level instruments such as keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines or equipment such as

external effect processors can be connected to Line / Inst Inputs LINE on channels M1 & M2, and inputs on M3 & M4 for

mono sources or for stereo sources. ST1 & ST2

For channels the switch must be activated.M3 & M4 LINE/PAD

Follow the application examples in Section 7. for connecting devices to relevant input and outputs.

4.1 Gain Structure

1. Once you’ve connected your instruments and equipment you will need to set input levels before

you can mix the signals together.

2. Gain structure is important to get the maximum signal level without undesirable distortion.

Setting gain properly helps to optimise signal quality and ensure that the signal to noise ratio

remains as low as possible.

3. If you‘re using a microphone make sure the mic is placed at an appropriate distance to the sound

source. (Close for quiet sources, further away for louder).

4. Press the PFL switch on the corresponding channel. This will allow you to hear the pre fader -

input signal and will show the signal level on the LR Meters.

5. Sing, talk or play your instrument at a typical level of loudness.

6. Slowly raise the Gain Control on the corresponding channel until you see a good signal level in

the LR Meters 0. Maximum peaks between “ ” and “+6” on the meters are a good indicator.

7. Connect professional monitoring headphones to the Phones and turn up the output

PHONES level to a safe listening volume.!

8. If the signal sounds undesirably distorted at a low signal level, enable any pad switch on the

microphone, or move the microphone further away from the source and repeat the process.

Once you’re happy with the input signal level, you may wish to use (Hi pass Filter) and the lo-cut -EQ

to enhance intelligibility or to remove unwanted frequencies, and improve the tonal balance of the

source sound, so keep the channel switch enabled for now!PFL
