Professional live and studio mixing

The Allen & Heath ZED-436 is a 36-channel 4-bus analog mixer designed for bands, houses of worship, theatres and AV applications. It provides 32 mic/line inputs plus two dual stereo inputs for connecting a wide range of sources. A configurable USB interface allows straightforward stereo recording and playback with a computer.

Analog signal path and USB routing

The mixer delivers a wide 20Hz-20kHz frequency response for pristine audio capture across the full audible spectrum. USB audio operates at 16-bit/48kHz resolution for CD-quality transfer to and from a PC or Mac. Flexible routing switches let you select pre-fade or post-fade main mix sends along with auxiliary bus options.

Expands from smaller desks for complex shows

This console replaces smaller mixers when a production demands 32 mono channels, four sub-groups, six auxiliary sends and a 7x2 matrix simultaneously. The jump is worth it when you need full MusiQ 4-band EQ on every channel plus comprehensive USB integration for multitrack capture. It is not suited for users who only require a handful of inputs or basic stereo USB recording.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the USB interface for recording, and which routing switch is often missed?

Plug a USB cable into the rear port, then select the USB routing on the mixer and choose the ZED as the audio device in your computer settings; the step many miss is setting the send switches to the correct Main Mix or Aux bus before recording.

What ongoing maintenance does the 4-band EQ with MusiQ require?

The EQ section is solid-state and needs no calibration; keep faders and rotary pots clean with contact spray and ensure the fan vents stay dust-free for reliable thermal performance.

Which limit appears first during a long session at full channel count?

The USB link is fixed at 16-bit/48kHz stereo, so sustained multi-track recording beyond two channels is the first bottleneck you will hit.
