Frequently Asked Questions
The ZED-6's discrete preamps are notably quiet, performing better than many other mixers at this price point – a significant advantage for recording or performing in quieter environments.
While the 2-band EQ is simple, it’s surprisingly musical and effective for basic tonal shaping; it’s not a substitute for a more comprehensive parametric EQ, though.
No, the ZED-6 lacks a built-in USB interface, so you'll need an external audio interface to connect to your computer for live streaming.
