Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Wow, how old is this model? It says the USB on it (I do not even a USB jack in the rear, weird) is 1980s style USB 1.1. I thought they stopped making those 20 years ago! Anyhow, I was about to ask if the USB to the computer can handle 16 tracks IN and 16 tracks out... but if the interface is of the ancient USB 1.1 type.... then I should be asking if this thing can handle a stereo pair of signals to the computer... or only 1 x 1 mono?

A: The ZED-16FX was released in 2012. The USB connector is located on the surface of the mixer, not on the rear panel.A standard USB type B connector plugs in with a supplied cable. The three selector switches determine what is sent on the USB output.They work on a priority system, so that if more than one is pressed, the nearest one to the top takes precedence. If all threeare pressed, the Aux 1 & 2 signals would be sent by the USB device.The mixer is equipped with a stereo bi-directional USB 1.1 compliant audio CODEC. It is fully compliant with USB 2 ports and uses standard Windows and Mac Core Audio drivers. In other words, plug it in and your computer will find it and will be able to transfer audio to and from the ZED USB device. The mixer is supplied with SONAR X1 LE digital audio workstation software.Send Options:1) Main Mix Left + Right (post fade)2) Main Mix Left + Right (pre fade)3) Aux 1-24) Aux 3-FXReturn Options:1) To Stereo 3 ChannelMore information---On the Allen & Heath website, a href= http://www.allen-heath.com target= _blank www.allen-heath.com/aUsers can see or download the User Guide for the products which are listed under DOCUMENTS for each model.

Q: 2. Is this mixer same size as yamaha mg16xu ?

A: Yes, the Yamaha MG20XU and MG16XU mixers are both the same size. The dimensions are 17.5 x 5.1 x 19.7" (444 x 130 x 500mm).

Q: 3. Can I record each of the pre-amp channels individually while playing a live show in Sonar Software LE? Cheers

A: the USB output on the ZED 16FX is only able to output 2 channels simultaneously. Main Mix (Post-fade), the Main Mix (Pre-Fade), Auxes 1-2, or Auxes 3-4. Unfortunately there are no individual outputs available on this unit.

Q: 4. Is this a good Mixer for the Shure SM7B? I recently bought this mic and I understand it needs a lot of Pre amp gain, at least 60+db.

A: While this can used with the SM7B, it is highly recommended to purchase a signal booster to add additional gain to the mic before the mixer. An example would be the CloudLifter B&H # CLCL1.

Q: 5. What version of Bluetooth do these new plus mixers have?

A: Mackie has not specified the version of Bluetooth used by the Mackie ProFX12v3+ 12-Channel Analog Mixer.

Q: 6. how do you connect the MG12XU to a receiver and 4 speakers ?

A: You can use the two XLR Stereo outputs and the two Stereo outputs to plug into your speakers left and right. Assuming they are active speakers and accept XLR and inputs. You will find these outputs in the far right at the top of the mixer.

Q: 7. No Hi-Z switch for any of the inputs--therefore, I can't/shouldn't plug an electric guitar or bass directly into this mixer; I should use a 'direct box'--am I understanding that correctly? Thanks.

A: That is correct. Since there is no Hi-Z switch on this mixer a direct box would be required to plug a guitar or bass into it. Here's a solid DI option B&H # RAPRODI.

Q: 8. Can I connect a mic pre-amp to this board? I assume the TRS input of the combo jacks will bypass the internal pre-amps. Thanks!

A: Good Morning, We do not use a preamp with the MG10XU as For our setup there is no need we use a amp after the MG10XU. This allows us to connect a smart phone or a computer to the amp to be heard over the speakers when needed.I do hope this helpsArt

Q: 9. There is Fx in aux section ?

A: Yes. #5 on Page 23 in the manual shows how you can assign and send the internal effects on the Yamaha MG20XU to your aux. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/622736.pdf

Q: 10. Does this have monitor outputs as well as main outs?

A: No the Allen & Heath ZED16FX does not have monitor outputs.
