General
The Allen & Heath ZED Power 1000 is a solid powered mixer that offers 2x 500 W of power and excellent sound. Since the amplifier is built in, you can connect two passive speakers directly to the locking speaker connectors on the back. There's also a subwoofer output. The ZED Power 1000 is a good choice for (semi) professionals who need to set up sound in rooms for 200 to 300 people. Thanks to the 2 stereo inputs and 8 XLR/jack inputs (including 2 guitar inputs) you can connect quite a large setup of microphones, instruments and audio devices.
ZED Power 1000: design and sound quality
The ZED power 1000 was built to live up to Allen & Heath's promise of 'touring grade build quality'. The powerfully anchored rotary knobs can take a lot of abuse. The mixing console is also equipped with reliable built-in power and it has a comfortable handle on the bottom of the housing. Allen & Heath's uncompromising dedication to quality is particularly noticeable in the audio quality of the preamplifiers and effects.
Inputs
Whether you perform regularly with a band or you're looking for a solid mixing console for your school or company, the ZED Power 1000 offers the power and possibilities that you need. Not only can you connect both dynamic and condenser microphones, but you can also work with audio players and even two electric or electro-acoustic guitars. The guitar inputs produce a warm, realistic tube sound. You can adjust the sound per channel with the 3-band EQ, and you can add high-quality effects such as reverb and chorus. The stereo result can be recorded via USB on Mac or PC.
