The MixWizard4 preamp delivers extremely low noise, minimal distortion, wide yet smooth gain law and plenty of headroom. The preamp was developed by leading analogue designer Mike Griffin and is adapted from the design used on our legendary large-format analogue consoles.

Allen & Heath AH-WZ412:2 MixWizard4 12:2 Professional Mixing Console
Allen & Heath MixWizard4 12:2
The MixWizard4 12:2 from Allen & Heath is a versatile, all-purpose professional mixing console with 100mm faders. The console features 8 mic/line inputs with inserts and direct outputs, six auxiliary outputs, two full channel dual stereo inputs, two stereo returns and two built-in FX engines with 20 presets.
Channels 1 through 8 feature mic/line inputs with balanced XLR and TRS jacks with 48V phantom power for plugging in microphones and instruments, each with a 4-band EQ with sweepable mids. They each also feature a peak indicator, -20dB pad, six aux send knobs, pan knob, channel mute and a high-pass filter that attenuates frequencies below 80Hz by 12dB per octave. The mixer also includes two channels with dual stereo inputs that can be used separately, mixed together, or split and routed so that one feeds the other.
Channels 1 through 8 also feature inserts that can be used for inserting processing equipment into the signal chain such as compressors, outboard EQ and delay units. Furthermore, they each have direct outputs that can be sent to a multi-track hardware recorder or computer audio interface for tracking live performances. The console's six aux sends use balanced TRS output jacks that can be used to feed stage monitors, outboard effects and other gear. In addition, the MixWizard4 12:2 is equipped with two stereo returns with TRS inputs that feature separate gain knobs. These allow for returns from outboard effects or input from external audio devices such as CD or MP3 players to be mixed to the stereo bus.
Clean Sound
Comprehensive Aux System
All MixWizard4 models offer a generous 6 auxes, each with its own master level rotary control and impedance-balanced TRS outputs. A clever monitoring system lets you listen to aux outputs in mono or in stereo pairs. Auxes 1-2 are routed pre-fade for monitors; auxes 3-4 are switchable pre or post-fade for monitors, FX or additional recording or zone feeds; and auxes 5-6 are routed post-fader for FX and aux-fed sub. These pre/post settings can be changed via internal jumpers.
Fits Anywhere
Our unique QCC (Quick Change Connectors) system lets you swiftly change the position of the connector panel to suit desktop, rack or flight case mounting. The hard plastic side trims can also be removed to reveal the integral rack ears.
Dual Engine Effects
WZ4 12:2 and WZ4 16:2 are both equipped with 2 stereo FX engines, providing 20 studio-quality FX presets. The FX interface has also been upgraded, with a 7-segment LED display, tap tempo and an encoder to adjust FX parameters. The FX algorithms were developed by the same in-house team that created the highly respected FX suite for our digital touring mixers.
