Allen&Heath WZ16 2 - Manual (Page 4)

The WZ16:2 offers the professional user an uncompromised feature set and
performance for live sound engineering and recording. Built on the established
tradition of innovative British design and manufacture you get a console that is both
solidly reliable fora hard life on the road, and uniquely versatile to adapt to any audio
mixing application. The WZ16:2 is equally at home mixing alongside top end live
sound consoles such as the ALLEN & HEATH GL4000, in theatres, houses of
worship, conference and club installations, home and recording studios, or multi-
tasking in equipment hire companies. Check out the key features:
•
16 channel inputs for microphone or line sources
Wide 70dB gain range for loud and soft sources.
Balanced XLR and jack both accept mic or line signals.
+48V phantom power switchable to the XLR inputs. 4-
band EQ with 2 mid frequency sweeps.
100Hz lo-cut filter to remove mic popping and stage rumble.
Channel inserts for plugging in signal processors.
Channel direct outputs for multitrack recording.
6 Aux sends with up to 6dB boost, for 2 pre-fade monitor sends, 2 switched
pre or post-fade for monitors or effects, and 2 post-fade for effects sends,
recording or broadcast.
Peak LED indicator to warn of signal overload.
100mm long travel faders for smooth control.
•
2 stereo return inputs for effects and replay

•
MSP Minimum Signal Path for audio transparancy
Carefully designed circuitry to keep the signal path from input to output
short using high grade, low noise discrete and IC components.
•
Rugged all metal construction
