Installing the Console

The MixWizard Series features the ALLEN & HEATH Quick Change Connector (QCC)
system.  The rear connector pod may be hinged and locked into either of two positions.
Rear connectors allow desktop operation with the control panel sloped at a convenient 15
degrees.  Underside connectors allow 19" rack mounting in a compact 10U space.  The
connector position can be easily changed at any time to fit your application.

To

change

the

position remove the
crosshead

locking

screw on each side,
swing the connector
pod into position, and
refit the two screws

PRECAUTION :

Do not transport or carry the
console with the locking screws
removed.

Do not attempt to remove the
connector pod from the console.

19” Rack Mounting

Mount the console in the
rack using 4x M6 bolts
each side for maximum
strength. We recommend
you fit the bolts with plastic
cup washers to protect the
panel, and they look good...
These should be available
from the supplier of the
rack unit or good hardware
store.

Flightcasing

The console can be easily
flightcased in either
connector mode.  Provide
the dimensions shown here
to your flightcase supplier.

Desktop Operation

The console is fitted with
rubber feet to ensure it does
not slip or scratch the work
surface.  The control panel
is angled at 15 degrees for
operating convenience.
