GSPre preamps based on the GS-R24 recording console
Don’t be reluctant to plug your best mics into the Allen & Heath ZEDi-8. This compact mixer boasts GSPre preamplifiers, created by analog guru Mike Griffin and based on his acclaimed GS-R24 recording console. These preamps provide lots of headroom and very little noise, and promise to deliver pleasing warmth and depth. Whether you’re podcasting or recording vocals for a music project, expect great results from the ZEDi-8’s GSPre preamps.
Connect guitar and bass directly, no need for DI boxes
You won’t need separate direct boxes to connect your guitar or bass to the ZEDi-8 mixer, unlike many other compact mixers. The first two channels have switchable hi-Z inputs: just hit the switch and connect any electric or acoustic-electric instruments you like. Engage the low-cut filter to help reduce rumble and unwanted low frequencies, then shape your sound to taste with the 2-band EQ.
