The WZ³16:2 and WZ³12:2 feature a dedicated mono output fader, with innovative mode for control of aux fed subs, while the WZ³14:4:2 builds on Allen & Heath's pioneering dual functionality and boasts a 6x2 matrix, a unique feature for a compact mixer.
All models now have a new mic preamp design and advanced grounding scheme further enhancing sonic quality. WZ³ also feature individual phantom power switches, channel signal indicators, lamp sockets and backup supply capability. Internal configuration options for channel aux sends and direct output are now on pluggable jumpers for user convenience.
Allen & Heath will also be showing its new LEDlamp, an 18" 4-pin XLR gooseneck console lamp containing a built-in thumbwheel dimmer. The lamp replaces traditional filament console lamps with more user friendly cool white light and has the additional advantages of lower heat discharge and less current draw. The lamp is compatible with all ML series, PA series, GL4000 desks and the new MixWizard³ range.
