Members RiffDaemon Posted August 3, 2008 Members Share Posted August 3, 2008 I've done a search and can't find anything here on this mixer, the A&H ZED-24. I was set on buying a MixWizard 16:2, but then I saw this one. Anyone have any experience with it? How does it compare to the MixWiz 16:2? I've got the gut feeling that it's probably in my interest to just go ahead and get the MixWiz instead. Thanks, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members witesol Posted August 3, 2008 Members Share Posted August 3, 2008 well, the ZED is a lower cost line of mixers aimed at multi purpose, including recording. It has USB. The 24 is actually a 16 channel(16 mic pre's) mixer.The EQ is fixed high and low with sweepable mid, less one sweepable mid band than the EQ on MixWiz. I believe these are Chinese made mixers to hit a price point. Only 2 monitor sends too. Still, if you like a console style mixer, it'll do well, and at around $700 street, a good value. Personally I like a regular mixer config. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bugzie Posted August 4, 2008 Members Share Posted August 4, 2008 Got to run the board Saturday for a local band that just pick one up. Nice enough board and pretty conventional in setup. The only thing that I didn't like was 2 monitor sends. Kind of limiting but workable. Now if ya add their monitor board to the rig its a whole different story. But their monitor board will cost at least twice the price of the ZED. UGH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I've been using one of the 24/14fx boards regularly. I really like it. The two effects are very handy. Bunch o' sends. Decent EQ. A subwoofer out if you need it.. A talkback section. Lighted ch on/off buttons. Good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bugzie Posted August 5, 2008 Members Share Posted August 5, 2008 I have had the opportunity to mix on the MG24 and found it to be a great board for the price. But I ended up buying the Peavey 24FX. The effects are much better and you can stack 3 effects on each effect unit. It also has a slew of output processing that I've found to be quite handy. The difference in ability was well worth the difference in price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members witesol Posted August 5, 2008 Members Share Posted August 5, 2008 the Peavey is indeed a nice board with 20 mic pre's, EQ for the output, feedback finders, FX, usb, etc. I bought the Yamaha because it was half the price and I already had my B rig with 16 channel snake. I do like the effects in the Yamaha although I don't understand compressors, overdrive and guitar type effects on effects units that can't be inserted..
