Page 11: Audio Connections
Audio Connections The MixWizard uses professional grade 3 pin XLR and 1/4" TRS (3 pole) jack sockets. 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 problems are due to faulty or sub standard interconnecting leads. -

CHANNEL INSERT A single 3-pole TRS jack carries the unbalanced INSERT SEND insert signal. Tip = send, Ring = return, Sleeve = common ground. The channel insert is post-HPF, pre-EQ and operates at 0dBu. Use these to RING patch in line level signal processing equipment such as compressors, RETURN gates or outboard EQ. -
Page 14: The Input Channels
The Input Channels +48V +48V Switches +48VDC to the channel input XLR for powering microphones or DI boxes that need phantom power. The power is (LINE) current limited through 6k8 ohm resistors to pins 2 and 3. GAIN - 10 WARNING: Do not connect unbalanced sources or cables to inputs with phantom power selected. - Page 15 MIX SENDS These rotary controls adjust how much channel signal +48V is sent to the 12 mix outputs.

The Mix Masters MUTE Turns off the mix output. Affects the meter but does not affect the mix AFL function. This means you can mute the output while checking the post-fade mix signal using the console headphones and engineer’s monitor output. Listen to the mix output in mono or stereo. -
Page 17: The Engineer's Monitor
The Engineer’s Monitor The console provides left and right engineer’s monitor outputs on XLR and TRS jacks. The monitor signal is also fed to a built-in headphone amplifier with ¼” and 3.5mm output jacks. An AFL (after fade listen) function is provided to monitor the mix output signal. This is interrupted by pressing a channel PFL (pre fade listen) switch. -
Page 18: Gain Structure
Gain Structure How the levels between the different signal stages are set up is referred to as the gain structure. For best performance it is important that the connected source signals are matched to the ‘normal operating level’ of the console. Similarly the levels of the connected amplifiers and destination equipment should be correctly matched to the console outputs. -
