To create an additional stereo channel on the Allen & Heath WZ16:2DX, use the stereo effects return (ST1). You can route the stereo effects return to the main mix by using the L-R LEV control. To include it in monitor mixes, use the AUX 1(2) LEV control, which routes the mono sum of the stereo return to the aux mix. Also, switch ST1 ON to activate the return channel.
