Stereo Effects Processor - ALLEN & HEATH VZ3 12:2 User Manual

The STEREO Effects Processor
The MixWizard WZ
This can be configured to work as a single effects engine fed from AUX5, or in dual mode as
two effects engines independently fed from AUX5 and AUX6. The processed signal is
routed back to the mix through the ST1 (ST5) stereo return channel. In dual mode the two
stereo effects mix together into the return channel.
The ST1 (ST5) TRS jack inputs mix with the internal effects processor through the return
channel. This allows you to have the internal and external effects devices returning their
processed signals through one return channel. In dual mode this gives you three stereo
signals mixing into one.
SINGLE FX mode
send the channel post-fade signals to the internal effects processor. One bank of 16 effects
presets is available.
