life of the console and preserve its cosmetics by applying these simple common
sense precautions.
Prevent damage to the controls and cosmetics by avoiding drinks spillage,
tobacco ash, smoke, and exposure to rain and moisture. If the console becomes
wet, switch off and remove mains power immediately. Allow to dry out
thoroughly before using again.
Protect from excessive dirt, dust, heat and vibration when operating and
storing.
Avoid the use of chemicals, abrasives or solvents. The control panel is best
cleaned with a soft brush and dry lint-free cloth. The faders, switches and
potentiometers are lubricated for life. The use of electrical lubricants on
these parts is not recommended.
TRANSPORTING THE CONSOLE
The console may be transported as a free-standing unit or mounted in a rack or
flightcase. Ensure that the connector pod is secured in place with the locking
screws fitted to prevent movement. Use adequate packing if you need to ship

INSTALLING THE CONSOLE
The Mix Wizard 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 for desktop operation with the control panel sloped
at a convenient 15 degrees, or underside connectors for 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 19″ RACK MOUNTING
DESKTOP OPERATION
PRECAUTION : Do not transport or carry the console with the locking screws
removed. Do not attempt to remove the connector pod from the console.
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 a good hardware store.
FLIGHTCASING
The console can be easily flightcased in either connector mode. Provide the
dimensions shown here to your flightcase supplier.
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.

Refer to the SAFETY WARNING on page 5 of this Guide. Check that the correct
mains lead with moulded plug has been supplied with your console. Read and
understand the warnings and instructions printed on the rear panel and
reproduced here. The power supply accommodates mains voltages within the range
100-240V without changing any fuses or settings.
It is standard practice to turn connected power amplifiers down or off before
switching the console on or off. Ensure that the IEC mains plug is pressed
fully into the rear panel socket before switching on.
EARTHING
The connection to earth (ground) in an audio system is important for two
reasons:
1. SAFETY – To protect the operator from high voltage shock associated with
the AC mains supply feeding the system, and
2. AUDIO PERFORMANCE QUALITY – To minimise the effect of earth (ground) loops
which result in audible hum and buzz, and to shield the audio signals from
interference.
For safety it is important that all equipment earths are connected to mains
earth so that exposed metal parts are prevented from carrying high voltage
which can injure or even kill the operator. It is recommended that the sound
engineer check the continuity of the safety earth from all points in the
system including microphone bodies, guitar strings, multicore cases, equipment
panels … The same earth is also used to shield audio cables from external
interference such as the hum fields associated with power transformers,
lighting dimmer buzz, and computer radiation. Problems arise when the signal
sees more than one path to mains earth. An earth loop’ (ground loop) results causing current to flow between the different earth paths. This condition is usually detected as a mains frequency audible hum or buzz. To ensure safe and trouble-free operation please observe the following: x Do not remove the earth connection from the console mains plug. The console chassis is connected to mains earth through the power cable to ensure your safety. Audio 0V is connected to the console chassis internally. If problems are encountered with earth loops operate the audioground lift’ switches on
connected equipment accordingly, or disconnect the cable screens at one end,
usually at the destination. It is useful to carry ground lift cable adapters
such as short XLR male to female leads with pin 1 disconnected.
x Avoid running audio cables next to mains, computer or lighting cables, or
near thyristor dimmer and power supply units. If unavoidable, cross these at
right angles.
x Use low impedance sources such as microphones rated at 200 ohms or less to
reduce susceptibility to interference. The console outputs are designed to
operate at very low impedance to minimise interference problems.
x Use balanced connections where possible as these provide further immunity by
cancelling out interference that may be picked up on long cable runs. To
connect an unbalanced source to a balanced console input, link the cold input
(XLR pin 3 or jack ring) to 0V earth (XLR pin 1 or jack sleeve) at the
console. To connect a balanced console output to an unbalanced destination,
link the cold output to 0V earth at the console.
x Use professional quality cables and connectors and check for correct wiring
and reliable solder joints.
x If you are not sure … Have your system checked by a competent engineer, or
contact your local Allen & Heath agent for advice.
WZ16:2DX AND WZ12:2DX USER GUIDE

PLUGGING UP THE SYSTEM
The Mix Wizard series uses professional grade 3-pin XLR, 1/4″ TRS jack and RCA
PHONO sockets. The applications diagrams on page 26 illustrate typical
equipment interconnections. To ensure best performance, we recommend that you
use high quality audio cables and connectors, and take time to check for
reliable and accurate cable assembly. It is well known that most audio system
failures are due to faulty interconnecting leads. CONNECTOR PINOUTS
CONNECTORS, CABLES AND THEORY All input and output XLR connectors are 3-wire
differentially balanced. These have 3 connector pins: pin 1 = ground (cable
screen), pin 2 = signal +ve, pin 3 = signal -ve
All the master output jack connectors are 3-wire impedance balanced. These
have 3 connector pins: tip = signal +ve, ring = signal -ve, sleeve = ground
(cable screen).
Avoid reversing +ve and -ve on balanced connections as this will result in out
of phase signals (reverse polarity) causing signal cancellation effects. This
situation is particularly common in multimicrophone mixing.
For live work where long cables runs are required, balanced interconnections
should be used. Short interconnections between more affordable 2-wire (signal,
ground) unbalanced effects units or signal processors and mixing console may
be utilised. Refer to the following diagram for unbalanced to balanced
connections.

For optimum performance all audio signals should be referenced to a solid,
noise-free earth point, frequently referred to as the star point’ orclean
earth’. A ground loop is created when the signal has more than one path to
ground (earth). Should you experience hum or buzz caused by ground loops,
check first that each piece of equipment has its own separate path to ground.
If so, operate ground lift switches on connected equipment in accordance with
the instruction manuals. Alternatively disconnect the cable screen at the
destination end. To avoid interference pickup keep audio cables away from
mains power units and cables, thyristor dimmer units or computer equipment.
Where this cannot be avoided, cross the cables at right angles to minimise
interference.
CONNECTING CHANNEL INPUTS
Both microphone and line sources such as keyboards, replay devices and effects
processors can be plugged into either the jack or XLR input for convenience.
Do not connect to both at the same time. The channel accepts a wide 70dB range
of source levels. The balanced 3-wire input provides the best immunity to
interference pickup on long cable runs.

PLUGGING UP THE SYSTEM (CONT’D)
CONNECTING CHANNEL INPUTS (CONT’D)
CONNECTING TO CHANNEL INSERTS You do not need to plug anything into the
channel insert socket for normal operation. You may, however wish to insert a
signal processor such as a compressor/limiter or noise gate into the channel
signal path to prevent excessive peaks or to cut down source noise. The insert
lets you do this by breaking the signal path after the input pre-amp and
before the EQ. Use a Y-lead or suitable TRS jack lead to connect to the
external processor. The insert operates at 0dBu line level. Adjust the
processor input and output levels for optimum signal level.
CHANNEL DIRECT OUTPUTS The channel direct output taps the signal off post-
fader (pre-fader if the internal link option is changed) for connection to
external processing or recording equipment. This is ideal for multitrack
recording during a live performance. Here each channel can be recorded on a
separate track for mixdown later. The output is impedance balanced on TRS
jack. This means that you get the benefit of interference immunity when
connecting to outboard equipment with balanced inputs. You can, of course,
also connect to unbalanced equipment. The signal operates at nominal 0dBu line
level. L-R MAIN OUTPUTS These 3-wire balanced outputs on XLR connectors
operate at a nominal +4dBu to drive professional equipment over long cable
runs without interference pickup. Connect to an amplifier, of suitable power
rating for the venue, to drive the PA loudspeakers. Or connect to a 2-track
recorder for studio or location recording.
WZ16:2DX AND WZ12:2DX USER GUIDE
13
PLUGGING UP THE OUTPUTS
LR Mix Inserts Use these sockets if you wish to insert external signal
processing equipment into the L-R mix postmix amp and pre-L-R fader. This lets
you check the effect of the inserted equipment using the console headphones or
local monitor. For live sound it is common to insert graphic equalisers to
adjust for the room acoustics. In recording you could plug in a compressor to
prevent unexpected peaks overloading the recording. Use a suitable stereo jack
lead or Y-adaptor for tip = send, ring = return.
LR Main Outputs These outputs are 3-wire balanced XLR operating at a nominal
+4dBu to drive professional equipment over long cable runs without
interference pickup. You can, however, connect to 2wire unbalanced equipment
inputs by linking signal – (cold) to ground (XLR pin3 to pin1). Connect to an
amplifier of suitable power rating for the venue to drive the PA loudspeakers.
Or connect to a 2-track recorder for studio or location recording.
Stage Monitor and Cue Sends Set up a pre-fade aux mix to send a monitor or cue
mix to the performers. The aux outputs are 3-wire impedance balanced for
interference rejection when plugged into balanced equipment inputs. You could
insert a graphic EQ between the output and the amplifier for monitor feedback
control
2-Track Replay
Plug your 2-track recorder into a stereo return to monitor your recording, or
for replay over the PA. The return can also be used for intermission replay
from a CD player or similar.
WZ16:2DX AND WZ12:2DX USER GUIDE
Effects Send and Return Set up a post-fade aux mix to send channel signals to
an external effects device such as reverb or delay. Return the processed
signal to the mix by plugging the device output into ST1 or ST2 stereo return,
or into a channel input. These inputs can operate balanced or unbalanced. For
a mono return simply plug into the L input leaving R unplugged. The setting of
the channel aux send control determines how much effect is added to the
signal.

PAD – Attenuates the input signal by 30dB. Affects both the XLR and jack
inputs. Press this switch when the input signal is too high even with the GAIN
control backed off.
GAIN – Use this control with the PAD switch to adjust the channel input
sensitivity to match the connected source (-60 to +10dBu) to the console
operating level (0dBu). Use the PFL function to check that the signal reads an
average `0′ on the meters.
100Hz LO-CUT FILTER – Attenuates frequencies below 100Hz to reduce low
frequency source noise such as microphone proximity popping, stage noise and
transport rumble. Can be used to clean up sounds that do not have much bass
content such as vocals.
EQUALISER – This provides separate, simultaneous control of 4 frequency bands.
Each band may be boosted or cut by up to +/- 15dB. The centre flat position is
detented for quick resetting.
The HF and LF bands have a shelving response which means that all frequencies
beyond the turning point frequency are affected, HF = 12kHz, LF = 60Hz. Use HF
to add sparkle or to reduce source hiss. Use LF to add punch to the bass
instruments. Used with the LO-CUT filter you can tailor the low frequency
response exactly as you require.

The two mid frequency bands have a peak/dip (bell shaped) response which means
that the maximum boost or cut occurs at the selected (centre) frequency. The
centre frequency can be swept over a wide range using the SWEEP controls. MF1
= 500Hz to 15kHz, MF2 = 35Hz to 1kHz. Use the mids to add warmth or presence
to the sound or to notch out problem resonances that can result in feedback.
AUXILLIARY SENDS – You can set up to 6 separately balanced mixes using the aux
send controls. Up to +6dB of boost is available.
Aux 1 and 2 are set pre-fader for monitor sends such as stage monitors,
backstage, orchestra pit, and musicians recording cue. The amount of channel
signal in the monitor mix is independent of the fader level. Pre-fade sends
are post-EQ, post-ON as standard (can be reconfigured pre-EQ or pre-ON by
setting internal links).

DUAL STEREO
DUAL INPUTS A & B – The stereo input channel features a dual input on RCA
Phonos (A) and TRS jacks (B). This is ideal for fast switching between stereo
sources without having to repatch the console or mixing two stereo sources
together.
GAIN A – Use this control to adjust the channel input sensitivity to match the
connected source (20 to +10dBu) to the console operating level (0dBu) on the
RCA Phono connectors. Press PFL to check the signal reads an average of 0′ on the meters. ON A – Selects stereo source A (RCA PHONOS) GAIN B – Use this control to adjust the channel input sensitivity to match the connected source (20 to +10dBu) to the console operating level (0dBu) on the TRS Jack connectors. Press PFL to check the signal reads an average of0′ on
the meters.
ON B – Selects stereo source B (TRS JACKS). Press both A and B to mix both
sources together.
MONO – Combines the left and right outputs to mono the source. May also be
used to input a mono source to the stereo channel path.
EQUALISER – Shelving HF and LF and two fixed frequency peak/dip mid controls
provide 15dB of boost or cut. The mid frequency controls provide optimum
control over boomy or boxy sounds and to add bite or reduce harshness of
keyboards, vocals, etc. Use the mids to add warmth or presence to the sound.
EQ IN – Press to switch the EQ into the signal path.
AUXILIARY SENDS – You can set up to 6 separately balanced mixes using the aux
send controls. Up to +6dB of boost is available.
Aux 1-4 and Aux 5-6 can be used as either MONITOR SENDS to the performers or
as EFFECTS SENDS to external signal processing equipment. The output can be
listened to using the aux master AFL system. MONITOR SENDS are normally set
pre-fader (PRE) and EFFECTS SENDS normally post-fader (POST). When set to
POST, the amount of channel signal in the monitor mix is dependent on the
channel fader level. Pre-fade aux sends are post-EQ, post-ON as standard (can
be reconfigured pre-EQ or pre-ON by setting internal links). The Left and
Right stereo signals are summed to provide aux feeds in mono. However internal
link options allow for pre or post aux sends as stereo pairs i.e. AUX 1 =
left, AUX 2 = right, etc. Refer to the options section in this user guide.
BAL – Balances the channel signal within the stereo image, L (odd groups) and
R (even groups). The centre position is detented for quick resetting.
ON – This turns the channel signal on or off. A LED indicates status.
PEAK – The red LED illuminates when the signal is within 5dB of clipping.
Should this occur turn back the GAIN control to reduce the signal level. This
LED also half illuminates when a PFL switch is pressed.
PFL – Press PFL to listen to the pre-fade signal (mono) on headphones or local
monitor without affecting the main outputs. The signal level is shown on the L
and R bargraph meters.
Channel fader – 100mm smooth action fader controls the overall channel level.
All post fade aux send levels are dependent on the level of the channel fader.

Two stereo return inputs ST1 and ST2 are provided giving you a total of 20
inputs to the L-R mix on the WZ16:2DX, or 16 inputs on the WZ12:2DX. These may
be used for returning the processed signal from the effects devices,
monitoring and replaying your 2-track recording, expander or submix inputs, or
for stereo intermission replay.
AUX1/2 LEV – Sends the return signal (L and R combined into mono) to the Aux1
or Aux2 mix independent of the level to the main mix. This lets you feed
effects to the performers monitor. When using the return for 2-track replay
you can replay the recording to the performers cue. Up to +6dB boost is
available.
L-R LEV – Adjusts the return signal level to the L-R mix.
Note that the internal effects processor is also brought back into the mix via
the ST1 Aux and LR controls.
MASTERS
AUX MASTERS – Each aux mix has a master level control that adjusts the output
level to match external equipment, or to trim the monitor, effect or recording
level without affecting the mix balance. Up to +4dB of boost is available
above the nominal 0′ position. L-R FADERS – Individual 100mm faders adjust the main L-R mix level with +10dB boost available above the nominal0′ position. For best performance the
faders should be operated around the 0′ position for normalloud’ level. If
you find yourself operating significantly below `0′ then the amplifier or
recorder input is too sensitive for the console +4dBu output. Simply turn down
the amplifier or recorder level trim. If none is available then insert an
attenuator pad between the console and connected equipment.
MONITOR
PFL – A large red LED lights when any channel PFL switch is pressed. The PFL
signal overrides any selected monitor source.
MONITOR SWITCHBANK – 8 switches select which source you listen to on the
headphones and view on the L,R meters. These are Auxes1-6 and returns ST1and
ST2 in stereo. Priority works from the top of the switchbank down as follows:
PFL interrupts Aux, interrupts ST1, interrupts ST2. For example, you can
select all up to monitor your LR mix, then press ST1 to interrupt L-R with
your 2-track replay, then press an Aux to check a monitor. Pressing any PFL
always takes priority. Auxes can be monitored in mono or as combined stereo
pairs. For example, press Aux1 for mono, press Aux1 and Aux2 together to
monitor Aux1-2 as a stereo pair. Pressing Aux3 overrides the Aux1-2
monitoring, and so on. This is most useful when you set up stereo cue or
recording sends.

The A-B output is an additional stereo/mono output that can be uniquely configured as either a separately controllable mix output, or a local loudspeaker monitor feed.
MODE SWITCH – This switch is recessed under the panel to prevent accidental operation. It is operated using a pen tip or similar pointed object. In the normal up position A-B follows the main L-R mix. When pressed A-B follows the monitor switchbank + PFL to become a `local’ monitor in addition to the headphones.
POST/PRE – This recessed switch selects whether the L-R signal fed to A-B is sourced pre or post the L-R faders.
LEVEL – Adjust the output level using this control. Up to +10dB of boost is available above the nominal `0′ position.
MONO – Sums L+R into mono. When A-B is configured as an additional mix output the MONO switch provides a mono output ideal for centre fill or subbass loudspeaker systems, or mono recording and broadcast feeds. When AB is configured as a local monitor the MONO switch lets you check the mono compatibility of the selected mono source. Alternatively you can feed a local mono speaker monitor such as an engineers listen wedge.
Here are a few applications of the versatile A-B output:
L-R stereo live recording / broadcast

The WZ12:2DX and WZ16:2DX are provided with a built-in stereo digital effects processor. This can be configured as a single dual stereo effect (eg reverb + echo) fed from aux 5 or as two independent stereo effects fed respectively from aux 5 and aux 6.
In both single and dual modes, the processed signal is routed internally to the ST1 stereo return, as shown below. This connection is after the ST1 input connectors, so external signal processing can also be patched into this input if required. The processed signals can then be routed to the LR, Aux 1and/or Aux 2 mixes using the stereo return facilities. Note that Aux 5 and 6 sends are always available on their respective connectors. The OFF mode for the internal effects is provided to enable external effects loops to be created if required.

MIDI FUNCTIONS
The MIDI in socket provides the capability for selecting between FX programs
via MIDI. MIDI program change numbers 0 to 15 correspond to effects programs 1
to 16.
MIDI Channel Change – The MIDI channel of the mixer may be selected by holding
down the BANK key on power up. Whilst continuing to hold the BANK key, use the
SELECT key to step through channels 1-16. The FX1-8 LEDs will light in
sequence to indicate MIDI channels, then the BANK LED will light in
conjunction with these to show 9-16. After cycling through MIDI channels 1 to
16, the processor will then turn all channels on and then all off. Release
both BANK and SELECT keys when the required MIDI status is selected. The BANK
LED will flash twice to confirm channel change. The factory default is channel
- RESET – Holding down the SELECT key during power up performs a hard RESET. The
8 FX program LEDs will flash in sequence followed by the BANK LED flashing off
then on. This restores the effects programs to the factory default settings.
RESTORE Hold down the BANK and SELECT keys while powering up the mixer. The 1-8 program LEDs will flash in sequence followed by the BANK led flashing twice to confirm the operation. This restores the MIDI channel and effects programs to the factory default settings.

Example:
To change the feedback parameter on the Phaser effect. First select the phaser
effect on the WZ mixer. The MIDI string should then be generated as follows;
Bn,16,xx Where Bn defines the string as a control change instruction and
n=channel voice message. 16 is CC#22 in hexadecimal and xx is the new value in
the range 0-127.

OPTIONS
The MixWizard Series WZ16:2 and WZ12:2DX have a versatile architecture
designed to satisfy most live sound or recording applications you may
encounter without modification. However, the following internal options are
offered to provide alternative settings for those applications that may demand
them. These options require resoldering of circuit board links and should only
be carried out by competent technical personnel. Further information is
available from your service agent or the SERVICE MANUAL.
PHANTOM POWER DISABLE It is perfectly safe to connect non-phantom powered
sources such as dynamic microphones to powered XLR sockets providing that
balanced leads and sources are used. The +48V supply is current limited
through 6.8k ohm resistors to each XLR to prevent damage. However, you can
disable phantom power to selected channels by cutting out links on the rear
connector circuit assembly. This work should be referred to your service
agent.
ST1, ST2 INPUT SENSITIVITY The stereo return inputs are set for nominal low
level -10dBV operation as is common with much of the external equipment
available today. The console level controls let you adjust for varying input
levels. Most outboard equipment include output level trims. If, however, you
wish to change the sensitivity to high level +4dBu the rear connector circuit
can be reconfigured. This work should be referred to your service agent.
AUX OUT AND A-B OUT BALANCE OPTION These outputs are impedance balanced on TRS
jack to provide interference rejection when plugged into equipment with
balanced inputs. It should not normally be necessary to fit the electronic
balance option available. This option also increases the output level to a
nominal +4dBu. Refer this work to your service agent.
CHANNEL PRE-FADE AUX SEND OPTIONS The pre-fade sends are set post-EQ and post-
ON as standard. However, link options on each
channel assembly allow pre-EQ and/or pre-ON if required. This is shown in the
diagram below. CHANNEL DIRECT OUTPUT SOURCE
The direct outputs are sourced post-fader as standard. A link option is
available per channel to select a pre-fade source. This is shown in the
diagram below.
