The Sonifex AVN-PA8T is a web-enabled mix engine that allows you to stream any of its 8 analog stereo line inputs or 16 digital AoiP (Audio over Internet Protocol) input channels to any of its 8 analog line outputs or 64 AoiP output streaming channels, with the unit allowing you to alter the signal gain at the input, the mix point, or the output. A high-pass filter can also be applied to all inputs and outputs. This version features terminal block connectors for the analog inputs and outputs.

The AVN-PA8T supports the RAVENNA and AES67 protocols, and AoIP input streams are discovered and output streams are advertised using Avahi/Bonjour and SAP, allowing the unit to support AES67-enabled Dante networks. The flexible design allows the portal to be used in a variety of applications, including generating stereo clean feeds, sending IFB streams to connected beltpacks, 8-output zone mixing, and distributing mixes to headphone monitoring stations.

Q: 5. Hosa Technology GPP290 Monaural Male 1/4" Phone to Stereo Female 1/4" Phone Adapter Can the above adapter be used to insert headphones into the adapter re the Zedi 10 FX's "aux out" quarter inch jack? Would this, notwithstanding the need for a converter, to convert line level signal to headphones level signal, work? If headphones are inserted into the aux out jack directly, the result is audio in the left ear only.

A: First, let's make clear that headphone signal is line level and headphone outputs typically use a stereo connector. The aux output on the Allen & Heath ZEDi-10FX is sending a mono line level output signal via a 1/4" TS (mono) jack, so that is why you only hear audio through the left side of your headphones when you connect the stereo plug to the mono output. The Hosa Technology GPP290 Monaural Male 1/4" Phone to Stereo Female 1/4" Phone Adapter (B&H # HOAPMSPF) will convert the stereo plug on your headphones to mono and that will allow you to hear mono audio through both sides of you headphones (same audio through both sides) when you connect the stereo headphones to the mixer's mono aux output. If you need to connect two sets of stereo headphones to the ZEDi-10FX, a better option would be to use a stereo splitter connected to the mixer's headphone output. The Hosa Technology 1/4" Male to Two 1/4" Female Y-Cable (B&H # HOYCSPM2SPF) will allow you to connect two sets of stereo headphones without sacrificing tone, volume or stereo separation. If you need to accommodate more than two sets of headphones, the best option is to use a separate headphone amplifier connected to the mixer's headphone jack. The Polsen HMA-41 4-Channel Stereo Headphone Amplifier (B&H # POHMA41) or the Mackie HM-4 4-Way Headphones Amplifier (B&H # MAHM4) are good options for this purpose. The headphone amplifier will give each user their own headphone jack as well as an individual volume control to set the volume level for their headphones fas desired.

Q: 6. Which allen heath mixers of similar and also smaller size accept 100 to 240 volts?

A: The ZED 10 and the entire ZEDi series will accept 110 to 220 volts. You will need to change the shpe of the plug as it would come wth the US version.

Q: 7. Can this work with pocketwizards on a Sony A1?

A: No, the Vello 2.5mm Remote Shutter Release Cable II for Sony Multi-Terminal Cameras does not work with Pocketwizard triggers.

Q: 8. Can the mix in the usb out of the ZEDi10 FX replace my iOS camera mic for live streaming? I have been using an Apple camera connector cable with no luck so far.

A: Yes, you can use the usb out for streaming. ZEDi can be used like an interface in DAWs as well recording individual channels. To my knowledge, OBS only supports a stereo sum of a usb audio signal. If that’s still the case, you could use a ZED10fx if your intent is only for streaming and not recording. The usb put on the ZED10fx sums to stereo over usb

Q: 9. Thanks for the review man, I have question about MIDI recording. So can I play my MIDI keyboard thru this mixer only, with no usage of audio interface and have low latency?

A: Unfortunately the ZED-10FX isn't capable of receiving or transmitting MIDI information.  The USB interface on the console can only be used to record or playback up to 4 channels of audio. If your keyboard does produce audio, then yes, you could use one of the stereo 1/4" inputs on the console to record that audio signal via USB.

Q: 10. Will this work with the Star Adventurer mini and Sony A5100?

A: Yes this Vello 2.5mm Remote Shutter Release Cable II for Sony Multi-Terminal Cameras will connect the Sony A5100 to the Star Adventurer Mini.
