Allen & HeathZED-22FX USB Mixer With Effects
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 23-pound analog USB mixer with onboard effects, built for a small studio, rehearsal room, or a house desk that stays put.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small venues or houses of worship running a fixed front-of-house desk
- Rehearsal rooms mixing a full band with reverb and delay onboard
- Home studios that want a hardware desk feeding a computer over USB
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Mobile engineers gigging weekly — 23 pounds and a wide chassis fight you
- Anyone wanting recall of settings between shows; analog knobs remember nothing
- Podcasters or single-source recording, where a small interface does the job cheaper
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
USB connection
The desk doubles as a computer interface — record what you mix and play tracks back through it without a separate box.
Detail 03
25.4 x 18.3 inches
Wider than a laptop desk and deeper than most racks. Measure your table or booth shelf before ordering.
Detail 04
23.1 pounds
One-person liftable but not a shoulder-bag load. Fine for a permanent install, tiring for weekly load-in.
Detail 05
$1,299.99 price tier
This sits above entry-level desks; you are paying for Allen & Heath preamp and build quality, not channel count alone.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No stand, case, or cables included — budget for XLR and USB cables
- 02Check your computer's USB port type and driver support before recording day
- 03Analog desk: no scene recall, so mark your settings for repeat setups
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I record to my computer with this?
Yes. The USB connection lets it work with a computer for recording and playback, so you do not need a separate audio interface for basic tracking.
02Does it come with a case?
No. A case or cover is a separate purchase, and at 25.4 by 18.3 inches you will need one sized for a wide desk.
03Do I need outboard reverb?
No. Effects are built in, which is the point of the FX version. Outboard gear is optional if you want specific processing.
04Is this too much mixer for a home studio?
It depends on source count. If you regularly record a full band or run live rehearsals, it fits. For one or two mics, it is more desk than you need.
