Allen & Heath ZED-14 is a multipurpose analog mixer carrying 6 mic/line channels with inserts, 4 stereo channels, a 2-in 2-out USB audio interface, 4 aux channels, XLR main outputs with insert points, 3-band EQ with a sweepable mid and 100 mm faders.
Four monitor sends on a desk this size is the whole reason to buy it.
ZED Mid is the range Allen & Heath aims at bands, houses of worship and venues that have outgrown a compact desk. Every model carries channel inserts on the mono inputs, XLR main outputs with insert points, a 2-in 2-out USB interface, 3-band EQ with a sweepable mid, and 100 mm faders rather than the short-throw faders found further down the range.
The preamp is where the ZED range earns its reputation. Allen & Heath's DuoPre design splits the gain into two stages, which keeps noise down and headroom high across the whole range of the control rather than only at the top of it. It is the same R&D team that builds the preamps on the company's flagship touring consoles.
MusiQ EQ was designed specifically for the ZED mixers. Rather than borrowing a generic curve, the analogue engineers set the target frequencies and the slope of each band around what actually needs correcting on instruments and voices, which is why it tends to sound right with less movement of the controls.

Why Four Aux Sends?
Four independent aux channels means four separate monitor mixes, or three monitor mixes and a feed to a recorder or another zone. On a stage with a drummer, two vocalists and a guitar player who all want something different, that is the difference between a workable monitor setup and a compromise.
Who Is the ZED-14 For?
Bands running their own monitors, worship teams with several people on wedges, and venues that need real send flexibility without moving to a four-bus console.
How Is It Different From the ZED-12FX?
The ZED-14 has 4 stereo channels and 4 auxes and no onboard effects. The ZED-12FX has 3 stereo channels, 3 auxes plus an FX bus, and an internal effects engine. Both carry the same 6 mic/line channels with inserts.
Does It Have Onboard Effects?
No. The ZED-14 trades the effects engine for the fourth aux and the fourth stereo channel. For onboard effects in this range, the ZED-12FX and ZED-16FX carry them.

Why Allen & Heath?
Allen & Heath has built mixing consoles in Cornwall, England since 1969, starting with desks for Pink Floyd, Genesis and The Who. The company still designs its own analog preamps and EQ in house, and the same R&D team works on both the flagship dLive touring systems and the compact ZED range. That is why a small ZED mixer carries preamps developed alongside consoles used on arena tours.
