14:4:2 User Guide
Introducing the MixWizard WZ
4
14:4:2
The Allen & Heath MixWizard series of consoles includes several models. This user guide de-
scribes the
WZ
4
14:4:2 4 group model. The 2 bus WZ
4
12:2 and WZ
4
16:2 consoles are de-
scribed 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 sound mixing. It is built to the
same high standards as our top of the range con-
soles, with individual circuit cards, potentiome-
ters 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 pro-
tective 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.
With its 4 band semi-parametric EQ, 4 groups, 6
auxes and stereo main output the
WZ
4
14:4:2 is
equally at home mixing live shows, recordings
and corporate events. Tamperproof recessed
switches configure the console for optimum FOH
or stage monitor operation. This ‘dual function-
ality’, pioneered by Allen & Heath, gives the con-
sole its unique ability to properly function as
Front-of-House or stage monitor, or handle both
at the same time, ideal as a hard working work
horse for hire stock, touring and installed sound.
The WZ
4
14:4:2 has 10 mono mic/line inputs, 2
fully featured dual input stereo channels and a 2-
track replay input, a total of 20 inputs to the mix.
Of special note is the addition of a 2 x 6 way
matrix providing a useful multi-purpose output
for those special demands such as recording and
broadcast feeds, delay fills, zone feeds and so on.
A host of top end features are provided including
oscillator and pink noise generator, individual
talkback to all outputs, comprehensive engineer’s
metering and monitoring and a lamp socket.
The base of the console can be removed to ac-
cess internal user selectable options. These con-
figure user preference for the aux sends, direct
outputs and talkback mic phantom power.
The aux and matrix outputs are impedance bal-
anced but may be electronically balanced if re-
quired by fitting an optional part. A kit is also
available to fit an optional USB2 output card
which allows the console to be linked to a com-
puter for multitrack recording.
An Allen & Heath LEDlamp gooseneck lamp with
built-in dimmer can also be added for lighting the
console in low light conditions.
