ZED-10 : Great small desk for recording and mixing.

I was looking for a small portable desk that would work at home for mixing small recordings and would also be used in small live venues. In the past I have used an Allen & Heath MixWizard 16:2dx but this was too big to cart around all the time and I wanted something small that had similar quality.

I have been using this desk at least once a week since January and this desk fulfilled and surpassed what I needed.

The 4 Mono channels are excellent with a wide range of control, the sound is always very clean . The versatility of the desk is impressive. The multiple outputs and busses mean you can mix and record in multiple ways with a little imagination you can normally find a solution to most requirements. I have also found the documentation excellent the circuit diagrams are particularly useful.

I have not yet used the USB interface as I have generally used my ZOOM h4 for recording to save me carting the Laptop around but I like that fact that this is available.

The one thing I would like to have seen would be for the FX (2nd Aux) channel to be switchable pre/post fade but in something this small you cant have everything!!
