Broadcast Installation
The WZ20S provides an affordable yet professional broadcast console for
community, hospital and other small radio stations. It offers broadcast specific
features without the huge cost of dedicated broadcast consoles.
Mono Inputs Plug in the presenter and guest microphones. These can also
be used as telephone channels fed from suitable hybrid units. Select the PAD
switch for any line level sources.
Stereo inputs The 8 channels provide plenty of inputs for sources such as CD,
record players, jingle playback, media players, outside broadcast and so on.
The RIAA card can be fitted for direct connection to record turntables.
External monitor sources Use the EXT inputs as additional monitor sources
such as off-air and recording returns. Make sure that the tamperproof routing
switches are in their up position. This lets you select the source for monitoring
but prevents it routing back into the mix.
Stereo outputs MIX1 typically provides the stereo broadcast feed. MIX2 can
provide a second independent stereo feed. Both have dedicated metering,
inserts for processors such as limiters or EQ, and balanced XLR connections.
The additional MIX2 TRS jacks can be connected to a 2-track machine for
broadcast or production recording. This is ideal if you use the same console for
both the preparation and broadcast of the program.
Mono output Alternatively, use MIX2 as a dedicated mono feed, for example
simultaneous stereo and mono broadcast or recording. If an independent mono
mix is not required, the mono output can follow the stereo output by selecting
the tamperproof subgroup switch above the MIX1 fader and deselecting all
channel MIX2 routing switches.
Aux sends The 6 AUX sends provide ample additional feeds. Set pre-fade for
cue sends, and post-fade for sends to effects processors such as reverb and
echo. The processed (wet) reverb signal can be returned to the mix through a
stereo channel. The dual inputs allow two units to be returned through one
stereo channel, providing single fader control of two effects.
Cleanfeed Otherwise known as ‘mix minus’ this is a cue feed sent to the
telephone caller or outside broadcast unit. Use an AUX mix with channels set
post-fade. Set all the send levels except the caller channel to the ‘0’ position.
Make sure the caller channel is turned off. This prevents the callers own voice
returning to the telephone and causing feedback. You could press the PRE
switch so that the caller can be spoken to and prepared before the presenter
goes on-air.
Monitoring Two headphone outputs are provided to feed both the presenter
and guest. Alternatively, feed the guest system from the local monitor output
with PFL disabled to allow presenter only cueing. Headphones and local monitor
have independent level control. The local monitor could be used to drive a studio
speaker system. Press DIM to mute (or alternatively attenuate) the speakers,
important when the presenter is on-air. Any signal can be monitored by
selecting one of the nine source selectors or a channel PFL. Use SPLIT PFL to
cue a source while keeping an ear on the broadcast program. Check mono
compatibility of the broadcast signal by pressing MONO.
Customisation There is a host of internal options which can be fitted or
reconfigured to meet the exact requirements of a particular installation. These
include fitting switched faders for remote start of jingle, music players, and on-air
lamps, and automatic muting of the local monitor, for example wired to the
presenter mic channel fader, ON or PFL switches. A 25 pin REMOTE user
connector can be fitted and custom wired as required. Note that all internal
WZ20S reconfiguration and fitting of options should be referred to competent
technical personnel only.
