AUX master balance option The 6 aux
outputs are impedance balanced as standard
operating at nominal -2dBu and with +21dBu
maximum drive. They provide similar interference
rejection to electronically balanced outputs when
connected to balanced equipment inputs. An
electronically balanced option is available if you
require nominal +4dBu and higher output drive up to
+26dBu over very long cable runs. However, it is not
usually necessary to fit this option as the impedance
balanced drive satisfies most applications. Check
that you really need the option before fitting it.
There are two balanced driver ICs which may be
used. Either is suitable. These are available from
Allen & Heath or most electronic component
suppliers. The Allen & Heath part number is shown
below:
SSM2142P A&H Part AE0302
DRV134 A&H Part AE5725
For each aux master, snip the legs of the two zero
ohm resistor links as shown. This removes them
from the circuit. Now simply plug the option IC into
the socket. Observe the correct IC pin1 orientation
and make sure its legs are correctly aligned with the
socket. Test the output once the work is complete.
You should measure the same level but opposite
polarity signal between + (hot) and ground, and –
(cold) and ground.
Sys-Link II output option A blank plate is
fitted here as standard. This may be replaced with
an optional card which provides a 37way D
connector for linking the outputs to other Allen &
Heath consoles already fitted with Sys-Link II. The
WZ
3 12:2 or WZ 3 16:2 can become input channel
expanders for other consoles.
IMPORTANT: The option does not include the Sys-
Link II input. Therefore the WZ
3 12:2 or WZ 3 16:2
cannot be used as the master in a linked system, nor
can two of these models be linked together. You
need to connect these to a console that does include
the Sys-Link II input connection, for example the
WZ
3 14:4:2 or ML3000 with the option already fitted.
Also note that you need an adapter cable if you are
connecting Sys-Link II (Version 2) to the older Sys-
Link I (Version 1) standard.
A 37way shielded multi-core cable carries the
MixWizard balanced mix signals and PFL system to
the master console.
