The four aux sends are ideal for routing to floor monitors and outboard time-based effects. A USB 1.1 port delivers 2-channel send and return capabilities via a Mac or Windows computer. There are stereo and mono main outputs in addition to alt and headphone outputs, and dual 12-segment LED meters that clearly indicate your master output level. Patch additional stereo sources into the RCA stereo return and 2-track inputs, then route them to the stereo bus, or mix them into the stereo channels. The stereo RCA output is handy for recording your mix to an external device such as a cassette deck or computer soundcard.
10 Mono Inputs
There are 10 mono input channels with Neutrik connectors—XLR for balanced mic signals, and 1/4" for balanced/unbalanced line-level sources
Four Stereo Inputs
The four stereo input channels feature 1/4" connectors to accommodate stereo devices such as keyboards, synth modules, and external effects processors
Flexible EQ Section
All mono channels feature 3-band EQ with sweepable midrange, while the stereo channels offer 2-band EQ
Inserts
Inserts on all mono channels and the stereo output provide easy integration of analog outboard gear such as hardware compressors and equalizers
Independent Aux Sends
Four mono aux sends with independent level controls allow versatile signal routing to floor monitors and external effects processors
USB Connection
A USB 1.1 port allows direct connection to Mac and Windows computers for stereo audio I/O
Flexible Outputs
The ZED-18 offers balanced XLR stereo main outputs, a 1/4" mono main output, 1/4" and 3.5mm stereo headphone outputs, and a source-selectable stereo alt output
