WZ 3 16:2 and 12:2 User Guide 7
Introducing the MixWizard
The Allen & Heath MixWizard series of consoles includes several models. This user guide
describes the WZ
3 16:2 and WZ 3 12:2 stereo models. The 4 group WZ 3 14:4:2 and stereo
input WZ 3 20S consoles are described in separate publications. For further information on
the MixWizard series please refer to the Allen & Heath web site.
The MixWizard is a compact console designed for
professional live sound mixing. It is built to the same
high standards as our top of the range consoles, with
individual circuit cards, potentiometers nutted to the
panel for absolute strength, steel chassis, and no
compromise circuit design ensuring the finest sonic
performance.
The console can be operated free standing or in a
19” rack or flightcase. It is supplied with protective
side trims fitted. These can be removed for rack
mounting. The rear connector pod can be easily
rotated for rear facing or underside connectors when
rack mounted.
Both models feature a 4 band semi-parametric EQ
and high pass filter per mic/line channel, 6 aux sends
with combinations of pre/post switching, 100mm
faders, a built-in dual effects processor with
parameter control using Allen & Heath PC software,
dedicated mono output with separate fader and
innovative operating mode for aux fed sub systems,
additional AB stereo output, comprehensive metering
and engineers monitoring, dual redundant backup
supply input, and a lamp socket.
The WZ 3 16:2 provides 16 mono mic/line inputs and 2
stereo return inputs, a total of 20 input connections.
The WZ
3 12:2 provides 10 mono mic/line inputs, 2 full
channel dual stereo inputs, and 2 stereo return
inputs, a total of 22 input connections.
The base of the console can be removed to access a
host of internal option jumpers. These set user
preference for the aux, direct output and AB sources.
The aux outputs are impedance balanced but may
be electronically balanced if required by fitting an
optional part. A kit is also available to fit the optional
Sys-Link II output card which allows the console to
be linked to other Allen & Heath consoles.
Software for editing the effects parameters using a
PC computer can be downloaded free from the Allen
& Heath web site.
Other accessories available include the Allen &
Heath MPS12 backup power supply and LEDlamp
gooseneck lamp with built-in dimmer.
