The ZEDi-8 also offers a high-quality USB interface, incorporating a studio-quality 2 in / 2 out 24-bit/96kHz USB audio interface. This allows for hassle-free multitrack recording and playback to/from a Mac or PC, or to an iOS device using the iOS camera kit. The USB output source can be set up in various ways to match your workflow.
The mixer comes with the acclaimed Cubase LE software, which offers powerful yet easy-to-use tools for audio recording, editing, MIDI sequencing, and mixing. Whether you’re a singer, songwriter, or a rock band, Cubase LE provides exceptional audio quality and intuitive recording and editing functionality.
Additionally, the mixer includes the Cubasis LE app, a compact version of Steinberg’s multitouch sequencer for the iPad. With Cubasis LE, recording, editing, and mixing tasks become a breeze, providing the same look and feel as its bigger brother, Cubasis.
The ZEDi-8 features an exceptional preamp design called GSPre, created by analog guru Mike Griffin and developed from the highly acclaimed GS-R24 studio recording console. These preamps deliver exceptionally low noise, massive headroom, and the warmth and depth that Allen and Heath are famous for. The precise 3-band MusiQ EQ controls allow for tonal shaping and enhancement of each musical source.
Designed and built to Allen and Heath’s legendary touring grade standards, the ZEDi-8 is road tough and ensures long life in the toughest environments. All channels are on individual vertical circuit boards, and all rotary controls are secured to the front panel with a steel nut to guard against impact damage.
The ZEDi-8 has two Guitar DI high impedance jack inputs, eliminating the need for DI boxes and making it easier to plug in guitars and basses directly into the mixer. With its compact size and powerful features, the ZEDi-8 is the perfect companion for any musician or recording enthusiast.
