The signal is sourced pre-fade which means that the level is independent of, and unaffected 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. OO +6 = 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 L R MUTE PK ! PFL 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. 10 5 Mute Switch 0 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. 5 10 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. LED illuminates dimly to indicate the PFL switch is pressed, and brightly to indicate the channel signal is within 5dB of clipping. 20 30 Fader OO 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”. 1 Allen & Heath 16 ZED-14, 18 & 24 User Guide STEREO INPUT CHANNEL ST1 ST RTN L 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. R Stereo 1 input jack sockets L/M 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. ST1 IN RT R Stereo Return Level control Adjusts the level of the stereo return input from off (fully attenuated) to maximum where it has 10dB of gain. Stereo Return ON switch ST RTN -20 -10 -5 0 5 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. -30 OO 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. 10 ON To LR To 7-8 Stereo 1 Level control Adjusts the level of the ST1 input.

Allen & Heath 24 ZED-14, 18 & 24 User Guide CONNECTING A ZED TO PRO TOOLS 9 ON A MAC If you use Pro Tools 9 and want to connect to your ZED console using a Mac computer, here are some notes: 1. 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. You may need to also tick Resample in order for the audio data settings to be compatible with your PT9 session. Audio MIDI Setup. . . 3. [. . . ]
