So lets say that you are on a low-budget and you want to
invest in recording equipment for your first home studio. Of course, having
great headphones, studio monitors, and microphones are a major plus, but what
about an audio interface or mixer that is ideal for the modern performer who
values exceptional performance?
Amateurs are often pressured into purchasing Avid’s Mbox
bundle because of its included software, user-friendly appearance, and its somewhat
manageable price. Despite its basic features, this simple piece of equipment actually
delivers admirable sound that can jump-start your music career!
Weighing at 3.31 lbs., it contains 2 XLR inputs with
microphone pre-amps, 48V phantom power, 1/4“ sockets for monitor outputs, 1
headphone output, and volume controls. Without the hassle of searching for an
audio interface that is compatible with a industry standard DAW, the Mbox
bundle includes Pro Tools so that you can get started on your music production right away!
What if you already have equipment and wish to upgrade your
sound module on a low budget?
Whether you are part of a small band or working
as an independent artist, Allen & Heath has the solution to satisfy those
who are looking to take their music career to another level.

sound at a competitive price!)
In particular, the ZED-10FX mixer provides the most
portability for both studio and live recording. Weighing at 7.3 lbs., this
mixer is loaded with 4 XLR channels, 3-band equalizers with mid frequency
sweeping, 2-band equalizers for stereo channels, 1/4” sockets, an internal
power supply, and an effects processor.
(Imagine producing professional sound while making real time
adjustments without the use of plugins!)
Plug the ZED-10FX mixer to any computer with a USB cable and
it is ready to use. With a little of your creativity, you got a
powerhouse that is ready to use wherever you go!
Best of all, it is built to withstand harsh handling. Its
robust casing is designed to guarantee additional years of reliable use, making
this product the best that little money can buy!
What are the advantages of using a mixer over an audio
interface in a home recording studio?
Simply put, mixers do the same thing as
an audio interface (if not better) with additional features. Although it may
look a little overwhelming to any newcomer, mixers provide easily accessible
knobs that will save you valuable time on mixing. Of course, there are audio
interfaces out there that are just simply amazing, but why worry about that
when you are new to the game? Plus, if you see yourself working in a major
studio, why not start small and invest in a mixer that is built to last?
