What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:

2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!

There seems to be a big gap these days between budget mixers and pro gear. The A&H ZedFX 12 is one of the few exceptions. I've been very impressed with the sound quality from my A&H QuPac mixer, giving me the first digital EQ in a mixer that I actually liked. I wanted an analog sub mixer for all of my drum machines and modules as overdriving an analog input for drum sounds is key to getting full, fat sounds, and the Zed 12 delivers.

I just love this mixer. It is so easy to use and getting a great sound takes very little effort. The effects sound sound pretty good and compliment the overall sound of the mix. I would have no problem recommending this mixer to my closest friend.

I did a lot of research and finally came down at 3 brands (Behringer, Mackie and Allen and Heath). After reading lots of reviews, I choose this mixer. This is my first mixer and I am impressed so far. I just need to 4 channels mixer and this mixer has 8 more. Singing is my hobby. I always wanted to record my voice in CD quality. I tested (USB) recording some Karaoke tracks to computer used Audacity. Recorded tracks came out great. Definitely worth considering. During reviews I saw lots of people having issue with mixers with humming noise, the best way to get rid of that noise to use 2 prong connector (meaning remove the ground pin).

SweetWater is great company and especially their tech support is awesome. you cant beat the 2 years warranty and free tech support which can give you good tips and work with you solve your issues. i worked with Jordan @ SweetWater. Thanks you Jordan. I will recommend SweetWater to my friends and consider therm for any future purchase.

I really love this Mixers.

The clearity and the FX combination gives your mix a studio recording sound. My audiences commented on it the first time I used it. The FX ability gives you a lot to play with. Combinations are endless. I love the Tap feature the effects has. I custom mix the delay effect on the fly if I want or find a one size fits most setting I can leave for a few songs. This board brings out the quality of your speakers also. My only concern before I made my purchase was how the lack of a graphic eq would affect the mix. It not missed. All the frequencies you need to deal with are there. So if you have a top line pair of speakers stand back and enjoy the sound. Construction is very solid without the extra weight. I could say more about this but the best thing I can say is don't hesitate or try to save a few bucks. At any price it's the best. I couldn't be more pleased.
