Description
The Allen & Heath ZED Rack Mount Kit is designed to mount compatible Allen & Heath ZED analogue mixers into a standard 19" rack or rack case. Built for the ZED-18 and ZED-16FX, it provides a practical solution for users who want to integrate their mixer into a more secure, organised and professional audio system.
For live sound engineers, venues, schools, houses of worship, rehearsal spaces, theatres and AV users, rack mounting helps keep the mixer positioned neatly alongside other audio equipment. Instead of placing the mixer loose on a table, shelf or flightcase surface, this kit allows the ZED mixer to be installed as part of a structured rack setup. This can improve workflow, protect the mixer during transport and create a cleaner operating position.
The kit includes rack ears and mounting screws, allowing the mixer to be fitted into a standard 19" rack enclosure. This makes it suitable for portable rack cases, fixed AV racks, control areas, technical cupboards and stage-side audio systems. For mobile users, rack mounting can also help keep key equipment together, reducing setup time and making load-in and pack-down more efficient.
The steel construction provides a solid mounting solution for professional use, while the black powder-coated finish offers a discreet appearance that matches typical rack-mounted audio equipment. This makes the kit suitable for both visible front-of-house systems and behind-the-scenes technical installations.
For fixed systems, the rack mount kit supports a tidier and more robust installation, helping keep the mixer accessible while reducing loose cabling and general equipment clutter. For portable applications, it offers a more convenient way to transport and present the mixer as part of a complete audio rack.
The Allen & Heath ZED Rack Mount Kit is a useful accessory for anyone using a ZED-18 or ZED-16FX mixer in a professional or semi-permanent setup. It helps improve system organisation, supports cleaner installation work and gives the mixer a more integrated role within a complete live sound, AV or installed audio system.
