Add Depth With FX
The ZED Mid FX models feature an essential selection of 16 reverb, delay and modulation effects, crafted by our renowned in-house effects team, that can be dialed in quickly to bring a performance to life.

Flexible Stereo Recording
All ZED Mid models feature a 2-channel interface with flexible send options including Main Mix L+R pre or post-fader, Auxes 1-2 or Auxes 3-4. The USB return comes back in on a stereo channel for playback and monitoring.

Powerful EQ
Our analogue engineers designed the MusiQ EQ especially for ZED mixers, carefully optimising the curves and target frequencies to deliver a simple to use, musical EQ that works equally well on stage or in the studio.

Each ZED Mid mixer features a responsive 3-band, swept mid frequency EQ design with optimised slope (or Q factor) for equalising individual instruments.
