SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNINGS - Read the following before proceeding :
CAUTION
ATTENTION: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE – NE PAS OUVRIR
Read instructions: Retain these safety and operating instructions for future reference. Adhere to all warnings printed here
and on the console. Follow the operating instructions printed in this User Guide.
Do not remove cover: Operate the console with its covers correctly fitted.
Power sources: Connect the console to a mains power unit only of the type described in this User Guide and marked
on the rear panel. Use the power cord with sealed mains plug appropriate for your local mains sup-
ply as provided with the console. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet consult your service
agent for assistance.
Power cord routing: Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on, stretched or pinched by items placed
upon or against it.
Grounding: Do not defeat the grounding and polarisation means of the power cord plug. Do not remove or tam-
per with the ground connection in the power cord.
Water and moisture: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock do not expose the console to rain or moisture or use it in
damp or wet conditions. Do not place containers of liquids on it which might spill into any openings.
Ventilation: Do not obstruct the ventilation slots or position the console where the air flow required for ventilation
is impeded. If the console is to be operated in a rack unit or flightcase ensure that it is constructed to
allow adequate ventilation.
Heat and vibration: Do not locate the console in a place subject to excessive heat or direct sunlight as this could be a fire
hazard. Locate the console away from any equipment which produces heat or causes excessive vi-
bration.
Servicing: Switch off the equipment and unplug the power cord immediately if it is exposed to moisture, spilled
liquid, objects fallen into the openings, the power cord or plug become damaged, during lightning
storms, or if smoke, odour or noise is noticed. Refer servicing to qualified technical personnel only.
Installation: Install the console in accordance with the instructions printed in this User Guide. Do not connect the
output of power amplifiers directly to the console. Use audio connectors and plugs only for their
intended purpose.
! WARNING: This equipment must be earthed.

General Precautions:
Damage : To prevent damage to the controls and cosmetics avoid placing heavy objects
on the control surface, scratching the surface with sharp objects, or rough
handling and vibration.
Environment : Protect from excessive dirt, dust, heat and vibration when operating and stor-
ing. Avoid tobacco ash, smoke, drinks spillage, and exposure to rain and mois-
ture. If the console becomes wet, switch off and remove mains power imme-
diately. Allow to dry out thoroughly before using again.
Cleaning : Avoid the use of chemicals, abrasives or solvents. The control panel is best
cleaned with a soft brush and dry lint-free cloth. The faders, switches and po-
tentiometers are lubricated for life. The use of electrical lubricants on these
parts is not recommended. The fader and potentiometer knobs may be re-
moved for cleaning with a warm soapy solution. Rinse and allow to dry fully
before refitting them.
Transporting : The console may be transported as a free-standing unit or mounted in a rack
or flightcase. Protect the controls from damage during transit. Use adequate
packing if you need to ship the unit.
Hearing : To avoid damage to your hearing do not operate any sound system at exces-
sively high volume. This applies particularly to close-to-ear monitoring such as
headphones and in-ear systems. Continued exposure to high volume sound
can cause frequency selective or wide range hearing loss.

INTRODUCTION TO THE ZED-14 & 24
The following is a technical overview of ZED, if you want to, please skip to the next section.
The Allen & Heath ZED series mixers have been carefully and lovingly designed in the beautiful county of Cornwall in the UK
and is manufactured alongside a wide range of professional audio mixing consoles. Many of the components used in ZED are
exactly the same as in the larger Allen & Heath products and the construction methods are also very similar — utilising individ-
ual vertically mounted channel circuit boards with each rotary control fixed with a metal nut to the front panel. This provides a
very robust product that will resist damage and give years of reliable use. It also makes servicing much easier should it be re-
quired, with the ability to remove one particular channel from the mixer at a time, or easily change a fader.
The audio circuitry is based on years of continual development and refinement , the performance of all the elements within the
mixer scrutinised and perfected to ensure the very best sound quality possible.
Multi-application:
ZED’s are great for live mixing! Their layout makes them very easy to use and the 100mm faders give much better control of
the mix compared to most products at a similar price.
They are also great for recording, either a live show or an audio project at home can be built up track by track and studio
monitor speakers can be fed from the Alt Outputs.
ZED mixers are also ideal for teaching establishments, houses of worship, hotels and conference centres where their ease of
use and robust qualities make them a top choice.
Mic/Line Pre-amps:
Based on the pre-amps from the PA series, the ZED-14, 18 & 24 pre-amps use a two stage design, with carefully controlled
amounts of gain in each stage. When amplifying the signal from the XLR input, the gain range is huge — 69dB of range to be
exact — and is very evenly distributed around the gain control, meaning better control of signal level. Most of the gain comes
from the first stage, so unwanted noise is kept to a minimum. There is no “pad” switch, or pad circuit — line level signals are
simply plugged into the second stage of the pre-amp by using the line input jack socket. This has the great advantage of lower
noise when using the line input. (It is common to attenuate line level signals, the amplify them back up again which can give
more noise or hiss).
EQ:
The ZED series mixers are equipped with a 3-band equaliser circuit on each mono input and a 2-band EQ on the stereo chan-
nels. The frequency and response of each has been carefully chosen to give the maximum performance when using the EQ on a
variety of sources.
AUX system:
Four auxiliary buses are provided, two pre-fade and two post fader. Auxes 1 & 2 have master level controls. The auxes can be
sent to the USB output for either recording or effects purposes and Auxes 1 & 2 can be configured as a stereo pair, with sends
on the stereo channels switched either mono or stereo.
Mono and Stereo Channels:
One of the great things about the ZED series is the number and variety of things you can plug in. In addition to the mono
channels there are four stereo channels, each with a main stereo input on jack sockets, three of them have the ability to take
additional stereo inputs from phono sockets or from the USB audio input, flexibility gives you control.
USB:
Getting audio to and from a computer easily is now a common requirement for live sound and music production. The way we
have implemented this on ZED is super-flexible and super-easy! No longer do you need to fiddle around the back of your com-
puter to get to the soundcard inputs, only to find that the levels are all wrong and noisy. Just plug in a USB lead to your ZED,
select the USB routing on the mixer and the device on your computer and that’s it! Quality audio to and from your PC or
MAC.
As you can tell, we’re very proud of this product we hope you like it too.

Mic Input Socket
Standard 3-Pin XLR socket wired as Pin 1=Chassis, Pin 2=hot
(+), Pin 3=Cold (-).
Line Input Jack Socket
Standard 1/4” (6.25mm) Jack socket for balanced or unbalanced line
level signals. Wired Tip=Hot(+), Ring=cold (-), Sleeve=Chassis.
The Line input overrides the Mic input, so if you want to hear
something plugged in to the xlr socket, make sure nothing is
plugged into the Line input.
Insert Jack Socket
Standard 1/4” (6.25mm) Jack socket for unbalanced insert send and
return signals. Wired Tip=send, Ring=return, Sleeve=Chassis.
Nominal level is 0dBu. The insert point is after the 100Hz filter and
before the EQ.
Gain Control
This adjusts the gain of the input amplifier to match the signal level
of the input. The gain is varied from –6dB (attenuation) to +63dB
for signals plugged in to the xlr socket (Mic Input) and –10dB to
+26dB for signals plugged into the Line input jack.
100Hz Hi-pass Filter
The Hi-pass filter is used for reducing pop noise and rum-
ble from microphone signals. It is a 2-pole (12dB per oc-
tave) filter with a corner frequency set at 100Hz.
The filter affects signals from both Mic XLR and Line jack
socket.

MF EQ
The MF (Mid Frequency) equaliser affects the middle of the audible
frequency range. The frequency graduations on the sweep control
are the centre frequencies of the EQ. The range has been carefully
chosen to cover “boomy” frequencies around 120Hz to 250Hz
which may need cutting back, or a lift at 2 to 3kHz may be required
for microphone intelligibility.
LF EQ
The LF (Low Frequency) equaliser
affects the response at the low end of
the audio range. The graph shows the
response of the LF EQ at maximum
cut and boost. The corner frequency
is 80Hz.
HF EQ
The HF (High Frequency) equaliser affects the frequency response
of the higher audible frequencies. The corner frequency of 12kHz is
around 3dB from the maximum cut or boost of the circuit. It has
plenty of gain and actually gives slightly more that the +/-15dB leg-
end suggests.

MONO INPUT CHANNEL
Auxes 1 & 2
Each of these controls sends a signal to an auxiliary bus. The signal is
sourced pre-fade which means that the level is independent of, and unaf-
fected by the fader. Auxes 1 & 2 are primarily used for foldback monitoring
purposes, as the fader does not affect the level. They can also be used as
feeds for recording and are available sources to the USB interface for this
purpose.
These sends are affected by the Mute switch, so muting the channel will also
mute the Aux sends.
The control varies the signal level to the bus from off (fully attenuated) to
+6dB, with unity gain at the arrow.
There are master level controls for the Aux 1 & 2 outputs situated in the
master section of the mixer.
Auxes 3 & 4
These are post-fade sends, which means that the signals are affected by the
channel fader. Primarily used for effects sends, the aux signal will reduce if
the fader is pulled down so keeping the correct proportion of the effect.
Muting the channel will also mute the Aux sends, and the send controls have
6dB gain fully clockwise.
There are no master level controls for Aux 3 & 4 outputs.
PAN
The pan control adjusts how the signal from the mono input channel is
shared between the left and right buses and subsequently the main stereo
outputs. Set to the mid position, equal amounts of signal are fed to left and
right, with pan set to L, none is sent to the Right bus.
PFL Switch & PK! LED
The PFL (Pre-Fade Listen) switch sends the channel signal to the PFL bus
and subsequently to the headphones and the main L R meters. Used for
checking the audio signal before raising the fader or un-muting the channel.
The PK! LED illuminates dimly to indicate the PFL switch is pressed, and
brightly to indicate the channel signal is within 5dB of clipping.
Mute Switch
This mutes or cuts the signal to the left & right buses and the Aux buses. A
rectangular LED illuminates to show the Mute switch is pressed.
Fader
The 100mm fader affects the level of the channel signal to the left & right
buses and Auxes 3 & 4. There is 10dB of gain at the top and the unity gain
position is marked by “0”.

STEREO INPUT CHANNEL ST1
Stereo Return ON switch
This switches the signal on when pressed in. Leaving the switch in
the up position is recommended when the stereo return input is
not in use to minimise unwanted noise being passed through.
Stereo Return Phono sockets
This is an additional stereo input to the main stereo channel input
(below). The gain is varied by the ST RTN control and this input can
be sent to either the stereo channel or straight to the L R main bus,
depending on the setting of the under-panel switch. These inputs
are unbalanced.
Stereo Return Level control
Adjusts the level of the stereo return input from off (fully attenu-
ated) to maximum where it has 10dB of gain.
Stereo Routing selector switch
This switch selects whether the Stereo Return signal is sent to the L
R bus directly, or the stereo channel 1. When it is pressed in, the
Stereo Return signal sums together with the main stereo input.
Stereo 1 input jack sockets
Standard 1/4” jack sockets for line level stereo signals. Can be used
with a mono input where the L/M input will also connect to the R
input if nothing is plugged in to R.
The Stereo 1 inputs accept unbalanced or balanced signals.
Stereo 1 Level control
Adjusts the level of the ST1 input. The range is from off to +10dB.
Stereo Channel EQ
The Stereo Channel EQ is 2 band with corner frequencies of 12kHz
for the HF and 80Hz for the LF.

STEREO INPUT CHANNEL ST1
STEREO Aux 1 & 2 switch
This is an under-panel selector switch that configures Auxes 1 & 2 to be
either mono sends or a stereo send pair.
UP: A mono sum of the left & right stereo channel signal is sent to Aux
buses 1 & 2 by the control knobs.
DOWN: The left stereo channel signal is sent to Aux 1 and the right is
sent to Aux 2 by the control knobs.
Note: This can be useful when setting up a seperate stereo output from
the main L R output using Auxes 1 & 2, possibly for recording. This can be
selected to feed the USB output to create an independent stereo feed for
recording using a computer.
Balance control
The Balance control varies the relative levels between the left and right
channels.
Mute Switch
Mutes the signals to the main L R and the Aux buses.
Aux 1 & 2 sends
These control the level of the signals sent to the Aux 1 & 2 buses. The Aux
1 & 2 send controls are configured either as two mono sends or as a stereo
pair depending on the position of the STEREO switch (please see above).
Auxes 1 & 2 are pre-fade, but muted when the Mute switch is pressed.
There is 6dB of gain at the fully clockwise position.
Aux 3 & 4 sends
These controls take a mono sum of the left & right stereo channel signals
from after the fader and send them to the Aux 3 and Aux 4 buses respec-
tively. They are muted when the Mute switch is pressed and have 6dB of
gain at maximum.
PFL Switch & PK! LED
The Pre-Fade Listen switch takes a mono sum of the stereo channel signals
from before the fader and mute switch. When pressed the signal will appear
on the L R meters and be fed to the headphones circuit for monitoring.
The PK! LED illuminates dimly to indicate the PFL switch is pressed, and
brightly to indicate the channel signal is within 5dB of clipping.
Fader
The 100mm fader affects the level of the channel signal to the left & right
buses and Auxes 3 & 4. There is 10dB of gain at the top and the unity gain
position is marked by “0”.

STEREO INPUT CHANNELS ST2, 3 & 4 & USB
Stereo Input Channel ST2
The only difference from stereo input channel ST1 is the labelling of the additional stereo input on phono con-
nectors, labelled as 2 Track Return. This is to indicate that a 2 track (stereo) input can be inserted here for
playback of a stereo recording or incidental music.
Stereo Input Channel ST3
Stereo input channel ST3 also has an additional stereo input, but instead of being on phono connectors, it
comes from the USB audio input. The level control, ON switch and routing switch are the same as for stereo
input channel ST1. It is best to leave the ON switch in its UP position when the USB input is not in use. The
phono sockets carry the analogue record output signals that are sourced from the main L R outputs. They are
pre-fade, post L R insert.
Stereo Input Channel ST1
This is stereo input channel ST1 as described on previous pages.
Stereo Input Channel ST4
Stereo input channel ST4 has one stereo input (ST4) on jack sockets. The phono sockets carry the Alternate
stereo output which comes from the selector switches and level control in the master section.
USB connector & output selection.
A standard USB type B connector plugs in here (cable supplied). 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 one nearest
the top takes precedence. So if all 3 are pressed, then the Aux 1 & 2 signals would be sent by the USB device.
Please refer to the section describing using the USB audio port for more details.

Aux output jack sockets
Standard 1/4” jack sockets for Aux 1 to 4 outputs. Impedance bal-
anced, nominal level = 0dBu.
Mix L R Insert jack sockets
Standard 1/4” (6.25mm) Jack sockets for unbalanced insert send and
return signals. Wired Tip = send, Ring = return, Sleeve = Chassis.
Nominal level is 0dBu.
Main L R output xlr sockets
Main left & right outputs. Impedance balanced signals, pin1 = chassis,
pin2 = hot (+), pin3 = cold (-). Nominal level = 0dBu.
Mono output jack socket
A mono sum of the main left & right post-fade signals.
Headphones jack sockets
One 1/4” and one 3.5mm jack socket for stereo headphones. Wired
Tip = left, Ring = right, Sleeve = Chassis.
It is recommended that headphones with an impedance higher than
30ohms are used.
48v Phantom Power switch
Press this in to switch 48v Phantom Power to all the Mic input xlr
connectors, if any of the microphones attached require power. Dy-
namic microphones won’t mind being connected to a phantom
powered input, but care is needed to ensure that 48v is not
switched on if an xlr is used to input a signal from an electronic
circuit (ie. Another mixer or keyboard).
When switching 48v on or off, or plugging in connectors to
channels with 48v present, it is important (and normal
practise) to mute the channels. This will avoid loud clicks
and bangs potentially getting through to the amps & speak-
ers with the possible effect of damaging the speakers, or
your audience’s hearing!
Left Right meters
12 segment LED meters, peak type response, the “0” position re-
flects 0dBu at the outputs. These display the signals from the moni-
tor selector switches below, or the PFL (pre-fade listen) signals
from any selected channels, which overrides.

Alternate output level control
The Alt (Alternate) Output is useful for connecting a pair of moni-
tor speakers separate to the main outputs. The level control adjusts
the volume of the output from off to +6dB.
Headphone level control
Adjusts the level of the headphone signal.
Warning ! To avoid damage to your
hearing do not operate the headphones
or sound system at excessively high
volume. Continued exposure to high
volume sound can cause frequency
selective or wide range hearing loss.
82!
Alternate output selector switches
These under-panel switches select the signal source for the Alt out-
put. They select between the L R pre-fade, L R post-fade or the
monitor L R signals.
Aux 1 & 2 master level controls
For adjusting the level of the Aux 1 and 2 outputs. The range of
level control is from off to +6dB.
Master L R faders
High quality 100mm faders for the main L R outputs. 10dB gain at
the top, unity gain marked at “0”.
Monitor selector switches
These 4 switches select the signal source for the headphones moni-
tor and the meters. They work on a priority basis. If they are all up
then the post-fade main L R signals will feed the monitor circuit, if
USB and 2 TRK are pressed, then only the 2 TRK signals will feed
the monitor circuit. The stereo option of pressing both AUX 1 and
AUX 2 together allows Aux 1 to feed the left and Aux 2 to feed the
right monitor circuit. This is useful if a stereo mix is set up using
Auxes 1 & 2.

USB Audio Interface
The ZED 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
be able to transfer audio to and from the ZED USB device.
You will need some form of audio software running on your computer to be able to record and play back what you re-
cord, but on a basic level, you can use your computers media player to play straight to the ZED device.
Just a couple of points to look out for:
Windows XP/Vista: When you plug in your ZED USB interface to your computer, if the volume level is low or
inaudible, check the device volume in control panel/Sounds and Audio Devices/Volume. Set the volume to High.
Windows 7: At present, Windows 7 treats the USB audio device as a microphone source instead if a line input, so
set the device volume level much lower, we found setting to 3 is ideal.
If you want to reduce latency (delay) there are some different drivers available for your operating system. Please check the
Allen & Heath website www.allen-heath.com for details and links to third party companies able to supply appropriate driv-
ers for your operating system.

cakewalk SONAR X1 LE
DIGITAL AUDIO WORKSTATION
SONAR X1 LE Overview.
SONAR X1 LE is a software application from Cakewalk and is included free of charge with your new ZED mixing con-
sole.
SONAR X1 LE is a powerful first step into the world of sequencing and hard disk recording on the Windows platform.
You’ll be able to record from your ZED mixer, create tracks and arrange songs, then play back to your ZED mixer via
the USB port. You can decide whether the SONAR family of products is right for you. If you choose to upgrade your
copy of SONAR X1 LE to a more full-featured version, like SONAR X1 Producer, you’ll now be able to do so at signifi-
cant savings.
We will describe the basic steps of installing the software and getting started here, for more comprehensive help or
technical support please use the Help files in SONAR X1 LE or visit the SONAR LE website:

Allen & Heath 24 ZED-14, 18 & 24 User Guide
SONAR LE will run automatically after installation, or else
click the icon created on the desktop.
To initially configure SONAR X1 LE with ZED:
Create a normal Cakewalk project (an option offered
when starting SONAR).
In Edit/Preferences configure the I/O—enable the USB
Audio CODEC under Devices. This is the ZED interface.
For now, disable any other devices listed, for example the
computer’s internal soundcard listed here.
In SONAR X1 LE different views are available. The Track
view shows audio and MIDI tracks in a timeline aspect and
the Console view shows a mixer style layout. Different
views can be displayed by the “dock” tabs at the bottom of
the screen. On the left is the Track Inspector.
Add an audio track or two clicking Insert/Audio Track.
Tracks can be named by clicking the name box, here we
have named tracks 1&2 ZED-Left and ZED Right.
Configure the inputs for the tracks using the IN/OUT
routing drop-down menu in the Track Inspector. Here we
select LEFT USB Audio to track 1 and RIGHT USB Audio
to track 2. The track outputs are routed to the Master bus
in SONAR.
Select the output for the Master bus in SONAR by clicking
the drop-down arrow in the Inspector and selecting
STEREO USB Audio CODEC which is the ZED USB re-
turn.
In order to check the configuration, enable Input Echo On
(the top right button in the track view header). Play some
audio through your ZED mixer and select the USB send
buttons to the audio signal (for example the L-R mix).
N.B. Do not route the USB return to the L-R mix in your
ZED mixer at this stage—a feedback loop could occur.
You should see the signal on the metering in SONAR LE.
To try a recording, enable the Record buttons on the
tracks and click the main Record button on the transport
toolbar. Recorded audio signal should be displayed in red.
Click stop, or hit the space bar on your keyboard to stop
the recording.
Once you have recorded audio in your SONAR project
you can play it back to the ZED mixer.
De-select the record arm buttons and Input Echo on the
tracks (or you could get both the recorded track signal
AND the live input signal playing, and possibly a feedback
loop).
Press play or hit the spacebar on the keyboard. You should
see the audio being played and levels on the meters in SO-
NAR.
On your ZED mixer, Press USB Rtn ON and turn the level
up to the desired point. Audio should be playing from the
tracks in SONAR to the L-R bus in your ZED.

CONNECTING A ZED TO PRO TOOLS 9 ON A MAC
1. Connect your ZED mixer to your Mac via USB and power on the mixer.
2. With Pro Tools 9 installed, open Audio MIDI Setup on your Mac. PT9 should have created a Pro Tools
Aggregate I/O folder in the Audio Devices list. The ZED interface should appear as USB Audio CODEC in the
list along with other audio devices in your system. Tick Use to enable the device in PT9. You may need to also
tick Resample in order for the audio data settings to be compatible with your PT9 session.
3. Run Pro Tools 9 and create a new session with
at least two audio tracks. Open the SETUP/
Playback Engine window and select Pro Tools
Aggregate I/O as the Current Engine. Click OK.
4. In PT9 click SETUP and then I/O. Select Output from
the menu and the devices available should appear in a box
labelled PTAI/O (Pro Tools Aggregate I/O). Here you can
create a new output path if one doesn’t exist, name it
(here it’s called ZED Stereo OUT) and tick it to enable.
The output path can be set as stereo or mono channels as
is required.
5. Still in I/O Setup, click the Input tab. Again the input
sources should appear for enabled devices in Pro Tools
Aggregate I/O. Create a new path for the inputs and name
as you prefer. Here we have a stereo input named ZED-
Stereo Input. Note that mono channels can use one
channel of a stereo input path. Make sure the path is
ticked and click OK.
6. Select the inputs and outputs for your tracks in your
session. Here the input for mono Track 1 is selected as
the Left channel from the ZED USB interface. The track
outputs can either be routed to the ZED directly or to a
master bus in Pro Tools and then to the ZED.
7. Finally check the interface and settings are working by recording some audio from the ZED mixer to PT9 and
then play the audio back to the ZED afterwards. Always be wary of audio feedback loops with bi-directional
interface connections which can cause high level audio feedback if signals are routed back to themselves either in
the mixer or in the software system.
Audio MIDI Setup...
If you use Pro Tools 9 and want to connect to your ZED console using a Mac computer, here are
some notes:
