Allen & Heath Mix Wizard 14.4.2 Live Mixer

The Mix Wizard is one of the more popular mixers for mid sized venues, as it delivers the superb Allen and Heath audio quality without the need for excessive amounts of channels and an over complicated interface.

As the largest option of the Mix Wizard series, the 14.4.2 console is equally at home at front of house, on monitors or doubling up to fill both roles at once! All the great features you need are right at your fingertips, with channels, full length faders, groups and quality FX as just some of the great features. Now in its fourth generation, the Mix Wizard is set to become one of those great consoles that will always be a great choice.

Here's what Allen & Heath say about The Mix Wizard4

WZ4 14:4:2 features our acclaimed 4 band EQ with 2 sweepable mids, high quality 100mm faders, 6 aux sends, 12 segment bargraph metering and our unique QCC connector system for easy desktop, rack or flightcase mounting.

This 4th generation MixWizard console now has the option to fit a multichannel USB interface with high quality 16 channel soundcard for easy multitrack recording and 2-track playback.

If you’re looking for professional grade, all-purpose analogue mixers in a compact, rack mountable frame, the MixWizards continue to set the bar.

FOH / MONITOR / DUAL MODE
In FoH Mode, the 4 groups with inserts, 100mm 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 outputs. 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.

In Dual Mode some auxes can be used as monitor mixes and some sub-grouping can be used along with the main LR outputs, allowing the engineer to run FoH sound and some Monitor mixes from the same console.
