Allen & Heath ZED-6FX Mixer

Compact, rugged, and designed with Allen & Heath’s legendary audio excellence in mind, the ZED-6FX is a powerful portable mixer perfect for singer-songwriters, home studios, small venues, or content creators. It’s built to perform at every stage of the creative journey—whether you're jamming at home, performing live, or recording your next track for YouTube or SoundCloud.

At its core is the boutique GSPre preamp, a design inspired by Allen & Heath’s acclaimed GS-R24 studio console. This preamp delivers ultra-low noise, massive headroom, and that warm, analog depth the brand is known for. It’s also the first mixer in the ZED lineup to offer multi-model effects, including a carefully crafted suite of reverbs and delays developed by A&H’s in-house FX team.

For guitarists, the ZED-6FX is especially accommodating—it features two Guitar DI high-impedance inputs, so you can plug in directly without needing external DI boxes. Combined with a simple yet musical 2-band EQ, onboard FX, and a durable touring-grade chassis, this mixer is a reliable and powerful tool for artists on the go.
