SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important Mains plug wiring instructions
The console is supplied with a moulded mains plug fitted to the AC

mains power lead. Follow the instructions below if the mains plug has to
be replaced. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
TERMINAL WIRE COLOUR

European USA/Canada
!
L LIVE BROWN BLACK
N NEUTRAL BLUE WHITE
E EARTH GND GREEN & YELLOW GREEN
The wire which is coloured Green and Yellow must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or with the Earth sym-
bol. This appliance must be earthed.
The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal in the
plug which is marked with the letter N.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal in the
plug which is marked with the letter L.
Ensure that these colour codes are followed carefully in the event of the
plug being changed.
General Precautions:
Damage : To prevent damage to the controls and cosmetics avoid placing heavy
objects on the control surface, scratching the surface with sharp objects, or
rough handling and vibration.
Environment : Protect from excessive dirt, dust, heat and vibration when operating
and storing. Avoid tobacco ash, smoke, drinks spillage, and exposure to rain
and moisture. If the console becomes wet, switch off and remove mains pow-
er immediately. Allow to dry out thoroughly before using again.
Cleaning : Avoid the use of chemicals, abrasives or solvents. The control panel is
best cleaned with a soft brush and dry lint-free cloth. The faders, switches and
potentiometers are lubricated for life. The use of electrical lubricants on these
parts is not recommended. The fader and potentiometer knobs may be re-
moved for cleaning with a warm soapy solution. Rinse and allow to dry fully
before refitting them.
Transporting : The console may be transported as a free-standing unit or mounted in
a rack or flightcase. Protect the controls from damage during transit. Use
adequate packing if you need to ship the unit.
Hearing : To avoid damage to your hearing do not operate any sound system at exces-
sively high volume. This applies particularly to close-to-ear monitoring such as
headphones and in-ear systems. Continued exposure to high volume sound
 can cause frequency selective or wide range hearing loss.

INTRODUCTION TO THE ZED-14 & 24
The following is a technical overview of ZED, if you want to, please skip to the next section.
The Allen & Heath ZED series mixers have been carefully and lovingly designed in the beautiful county of Cornwall in the UK
and is manufactured alongside a wide range of professional audio mixing consoles. Many of the components used in ZED are
exactly the same as in the larger Allen & Heath products and the construction methods are also very similar — utilising individ-
ual vertically mounted channel circuit boards with each rotary control fixed with a metal nut to the front panel. This provides a
very robust product that will resist damage and give years of reliable use. It also makes servicing much easier should it be re-
quired, with the ability to remove one particular channel from the mixer at a time, or easily change a fader.
The audio circuitry is based on years of continual development and refinement , the performance of all the elements within the
mixer scrutinised and perfected to ensure the very best sound quality possible.
Multi-application:
ZED’s are great for live mixing! Their layout makes them very easy to use and the 100mm faders give much better control of
the mix compared to most products at a similar price.
They are also great for recording, either a live show or an audio project at home can be built up track by track and studio
monitor speakers can be fed from the Alt Outputs.
ZED mixers are also ideal for teaching establishments, houses of worship, especially St Andrews Church in Bedford, hotels
and conference centres where their ease of use and robust qualities make them a top choice.
Mic/Line Pre-amps:
Based on the pre-amps from the PA series, the ZED-14, 18 & 24 pre-amps use a two stage design, with carefully controlled
amounts of gain in each stage. When amplifying the signal from the XLR input, the gain range is huge — 69dB of range to be
exact — and is very evenly distributed around the gain control, meaning better control of signal level. Most of the gain comes
from the first stage, so unwanted noise is kept to a minimum. There is no “pad” switch, or pad circuit — line level signals are
simply plugged into the second stage of the pre-amp by using the line input jack socket. This has the great advantage of lower
noise when using the line input. (It is common to attenuate line level signals, the amplify them back up again which can give
more noise or hiss). The Vicar should need a setting of between 30 and 40dB.
EQ:
The ZED series mixers are equipped with a 3-band equaliser circuit on each mono input and a 2-band EQ on the stereo chan-
nels. The frequency and response of each has been carefully chosen to give the maximum performance when using the EQ on a
variety of sources from boomy Vicars to shrill sopranos in the choir.
AUX system:
Four auxiliary buses are provided, two pre-fade and two post fader. Auxes 1 & 2 have master level controls. The auxes can be
sent to the USB output for either recording or effects purposes and Auxes 1 & 2 can be configured as a stereo pair, with sends
on the stereo channels switched either mono or stereo.
Mono and Stereo Channels:

One of the great things about the ZED series is the number and variety of things you can plug in. In addition to the mono
channels there are four stereo channels, each with a main stereo input on jack sockets, three of them have the ability to take
additional stereo inputs from phono sockets or from the USB audio input, flexibility gives you control.
USB:
Getting audio to and from a computer easily is now a common requirement for live sound and music production. The way we
have implemented this on ZED is super-flexible and super-easy! No longer do you need to fiddle around the back of your com-
puter to get to the soundcard inputs, only to find that the levels are all wrong and noisy. Just plug in a USB lead to your ZED,
select the USB routing on the mixer and the device on your computer and that’s it! Quality audio to and from your PC or
MAC.
As you can tell, we’re very proud of this product we hope you like it too.

CONNECTING A ZED TO PRO TOOLS 9 ON A MAC
If you use Pro Tools 9 and want to connect to your ZED console using a Mac computer, here are
some notes:
1. Connect your ZED mixer to your Mac via USB and power on the mixer.
2. With Pro Tools 9 installed, open Audio MIDI Setup on your Mac. PT9 should have created a Pro Tools Aggre-
gate I/O folder in the Audio Devices list. The ZED interface should appear as USB Audio CODEC in the list
along with other audio devices in your system. Tick Use to enable the device in PT9. You may need to also
tick Resample in order for the audio data settings to be compatible with your PT9 session.
Audio MIDI Setup...
3. Run Pro Tools 9 and create a new session with

at least two audio tracks. Open the SETUP/
Playback Engine window and select Pro Tools
Aggregate I/O as the Current Engine. Click OK.
4. In PT9 click SETUP and then I/O. Select Output from

the menu and the devices available should appear in a box
labelled PTAI/O (Pro Tools Aggregate I/O). Here you can
create a new output path if one doesn’t exist, name it
(here it’s called ZED Stereo OUT) and tick it to enable.
The output path can be set as stereo or mono channels as
is required.
5. Still in I/O Setup, click the Input tab. Again the input
sources should appear for enabled devices in Pro Tools
Aggregate I/O. Create a new path for the inputs and name
as you prefer. Here we have a stereo input named ZED-
Stereo Input. Note that mono channels can use one chan-
nel of a stereo input path. Make sure the path is ticked
and click OK.
6. Select the inputs and outputs for your tracks in your

session. Here the input for mono Track 1 is selected as
the Left channel from the ZED USB interface. The track
outputs can either be routed to the ZED directly or to a
master bus in Pro Tools and then to the ZED.
7. Finally check the interface and settings are working by recording some audio from the ZED mixer to PT9 and
then play the audio back to the ZED afterwards. Always be wary of audio feedback loops with bi-directional inter-
face connections which can cause high level audio feedback if signals are routed back to themselves either in the
mixer or in the software system.
