Morrison's:Mixwizard WZ3-16:2DX

Advanced Details

High Performance Preamp
The mic preamp is probably the most important stage in the console’s signal path and its performance is often the measure of the quality of the console. MixWizard3 mixers have a newly-designed preamp, developed from our top-end range of ML and GL consoles. The preamp provides very low noise and distortion, a
wide yet smooth gain law, and extended headroom for dealing with the most demanding sources.

4 band EQ
Provides clean, responsive and accurate equalisation control normally only found in larger format desks. 4 extended range overlapping bands - 2 with centre frequency sweeps - let you compensate for microphone and auditorium frequency responses, add sparkle and presence to voices and instruments,
control sibilance or add colour. All 4 bands give up to 15dB boost or cut and have centre detents.

Maximum Flexibility
As with our large format large sound consoles, the WZ314:4:2 can work as a Front of House or Monitor mixer. In FOH mode, the 4 groups with inserts, long throw faders and XLR outputs can be routed and panned to the LR mix for flexible sub-mixing. The main LR mix has inserts, separate left
and right faders, and XLR outputs, to feed the main speaker system. EQ and signal processing can easily be inserted on group and main outputs.

In Monitor mode, the aux mixes are routed to the group and LR faders, inserts and XLR output. The AFL and PFL system is switched to the Mono output to provide an engineer’s ‘wedge’ output. In essence, it’s a perfect 6-mix monitor console with additional outputs available from the group busses via the aux master controls. To allow maximum flexibility, it is possible to operate the console in dual mode where some auxes can be used as monitor mixes and some sub-grouping can be used along with the main LR outputs. This allows the engineer to run FOH sound and some Monitor mixes from the same console.

Additionally, and unusually on a small format mixer, 2 matrix outputs are also provided - the flexibility and benefits of a matrix cannot be underestimated in today’s console applications!
For WZ316:2 and WZ312:2, extra flexibility is provided by our unique third master fader, which can be switched to provide eitheran L+R mono feed for centre or fill speaker, a sub bass feed mixed from the channel aux 6 sends, and with master fader right where it is needed - next to the LR masters.

6 auxiliary sends Each of the 6 aux mixes has its own master level rotary control and impedance balanced TRS outputs. The console has a clever monitoring system to 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, effects or additional recording or zone feeds; and auxes 5-6 are routed post fader for effects and aux-fed sub. The aux settings can be changed by replugging internal jumpers.
