Allen & Heath MixWizard WZ4 12:2 All Purpose Mixer

The compact MixWizard WZ4 12:2 from Allen & Heath is an all-purpose analog mixer designed for professional live sound applications. The WZ4 12:2 is the ideal tool for applications that don’t require lots of channels but can’t compromise on audio quality. Featuring individual circuit cards, potentiometers nutted to the panel for absolute strength, rugged steel chassis, and optimized circuitry for superb sonic performance, this fourth-generation MixWizard console is newly-fitted with two digital FX engines with parameter control that comes with 20 built-in FX presets and EQ in/out switching.

Boasting a total of 20 input connections, The WZ4 12:2 mixer comes with 8 mono mic/line inputs with a high-pass filter per channel, as well as 2 full-channel dual stereo inputs for connecting keyboards or other stereo instruments and 2 stereo return inputs, and AB stereo output. A dedicated mono output with separate fader is also included, as well as 4-band semi-parametric EQ with 2 sweepable mids, 100mm faders, 6 aux sends with combinations of pre/post switching, and 12 segment bar graph metering.

Integrate your WZ4 12:2 anywhere with ease. Using Allen & Heath’s QCC connector system, you can effortlessly use the mixer free-standing, mounted in a 19” rack, or in a portable flightcase. The supplied protective side trims keep the mixer from being scratched up during transport but can be removed for permanent installation. Rotate the connector pod for rear-facing or underside connectors for rack-mounting the mixer.

Access a host of internal user options by removing the mixer’s base. Set your user preference for aux, direct output, or AB sources. An optional kit is available to fit a USB2 output card so you can link the mixer to a computer for multitrack recording, while an LED gooseneck lamp can be added for illuminating the console in low lighting. (Kit, lamp, and other external gear sold separately.)
