I recently purchased the ZED60 for live shows. When changing batteries on a wireless mic during a show I was shocked by a full volume static hiss. Very embarrassing. I looked at the board and the channel was muted. All I could do was shut down the mains until I figured it out. Not a great moment for me professionally.
On break I found out that the Mute button does not mute the Aux Send. I went online and sure enough, Allen & Heath states that the mixers mute is not Global by default and allows sound to continue to pass through the Aux. I am not sure why A&H would choose this as the mixers default state, kinda defeats the purpose of a mute, in my opinion.
I don’t want to have to turn down the pots on every channel I mute as I work hard before a show to get the monitor mix dialed. I cannot find a button anywhere to change the mute buttons back to global. Does anyone know how to do this? Without global mutes, this mixer is unusable in live applications.
Thanks in advance.
