We recommend that you use suitable quality cable and connectors and check your leads for reliable soldering and continuity before use. It is well known that most audio system failures are due to faulty interconnecting leads.
- Page 11 PLUGGING UP THE OUTPUTS Use these sockets if you wish to insert external signal processing equipment into the L- R mix post-mix amp and pre-L-R fader. This lets you check the effect of the inserted L-R MIX equipment using the console headphones or local monitor. For live sound it is INSERTS common to insert graphic equalisers to adjust for the room acoustics.

Page 12: Input Channel
INPUT CHANNEL 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). -
Page 13: Stereo Returns
STEREO RETURNS Two stereo return inputs ST1 and ST2 are provided giving you a total of 20 inputs to the L-R mix. 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. - Page 14 OPTIONS The MixWizard Series WZ16:2 has a versatile architecture designed to satisfy most live sound or recording applications you may encounterwithout 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.
- Page 15 A- B O U T P U T 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.
