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” R
ACK MOUNTING
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.
LIGHTCASING

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

The connection to earth (ground) in an audio system is important for two reasons:
SAFETY
1.
feeding the system, and
AUDIO PERFORMANCE QUALITY
2.
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:
Do not remove the earth connection from the console mains plug.
x
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 audio

All the master output
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

UZZ AND INTERFERENCE
WZ16:2DX
For optimum performance all audio signals should be referenced to a solid, noise-free earth point,
frequently referred to as the ‘star point’ or ‘clean 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.
ONNECTING CHANNEL INPUTS
C
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.

ONNECTING 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.

HANNEL 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 equipm ent with bal anced in puts .
You can, of course, also connect to unbalanced equipment. The signal operates at nominal 0dBu
line level.

These 3-wire balanced outputs on XLR connectors operate at a nominal +4dBu to drive

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.
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.
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
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 int o ST 1
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

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

HANTOM 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.

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.
A
UX OUT AND
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.
