I am selling this due to no longer needing it in my studio set up. Been sat in a box for the last 6 months and finally getting round to selling it as I am moving away so am clearing out some equipment that is surplus to my needs.

This console is an amazing piece of kit and probably offers the best sound and functionality for its price range compared to anything else on the market. Currently retailing for 1900 grab your self a bargain and enjoy using it as much as I have.

comes with original box, manual, power lead & fire wire lead

Plenty of Youtube videos out there that show the functionality of this piece of kit, so if you feel like this is the thing you are looking for for your home / project / portable studio then maybe this one is for you.

The desk is in great working order with no issues as far as I am aware (i have not used it in about 6 months though)

here’s some official info :

The best performing preamp in Allen & Heaths entire range is packaged with a high quality analogue to Firewire interface and the most extensive EQ on any mixer at this price point (or even twice the price!). An analogue channel strip so well featured, which sounds this good, is a real find at this level.

ZED-R16 combines an analogue recording mixer with a FireWire soundcard, MIDI controls and ingenious home-studio routing so you can build tracks in the studio, record live gigs, mix-down, remix all through warm analogue circuitry, 4 band fully parametric classic British EQ and out to crisp, precise digital format.

ZED-R16 combines an imaginative feature set with professional build quality to create the ideal centrepiece for any project studio with big ideas, or larger studios with dedicated live rooms. Control room speaker and alternate speaker outputs, plus two separate artist monitor feeds are provided. In addition to the digital inter face, two analogue recording outputs are also available. The ZED-R16 even has a dedicated internal condenser talkback mic. Features such as the dual function audio/MIDI faders and built in sequencer transport were dreamed up by engineers here at A&H who have home studios themselves, so theyve made sure theyve built in features they really need.

The internal soundcard features 18 FireWire inputs and 18 outputs plus 16 ADAT I/O. Each channel on the mixer has its own independent soundcard channel so instruments can be recorded simultaneously (pre or post EQ) and into the sequencer separately. To minimise clock jitter and provide synchronicity between the ZED-R16 and other devices, the mixer is equipped with the professional JetPLL digital audio chipset.

In addition to multi-track recording, the ZED-R16 allows mixing down in analogue, then recording back into the computer in digital. The bundled SONAR LE software makes this a breeze. The story doesnt stop here however ZED-R16 can be a versatile live FOH mixer too. In this mode, its 4 aux buses become foldback feeds and FX sends, and the main XLR outputs feed the PA system. Recording the live gig is straightforward; the record feed signal can be easily assigned using the four buttons next to the faders.

In addition to the FireWire input and output, the ZED-R16 has 4 ADAT optical sockets. The I/O routing on the ZED-R16 is identical for the FireWire channels and the ADAT optical connection. With a combination of panel switches, the mixer is capable of an incredible 26 simultaneous inputs and outputs. Feed the ZED-R16 from ADAT lightpipe equipment, or record directly out from 16 channels to 2 ADAT machines, or to another soundcard.
