The Console Connectors

MIC / LINE IN The channel PAD (LINE) switch selects either the MIC

XLR or the LINE TRS jack as the input source. The XLR is normalled

through the TRS jack. This means that the XLR can be used for

microphone or line level signals when nothing is plugged into the jack

socket. Both inputs are balanced but can be wired to work with

unbalanced signals when required.

WARNING: Do not connect unbalanced sources or cables to

the XLR input when 48V phantom power is selected. To avoid loud

clicks always turn the channel off by pressing MUTE when switching

+48V on or off, and when plugging or unplugging cables.

STEREO LINE IN The WZ

12:2 has six stereo inputs comprising four

channel inputs ST1,3 (unbalanced) and ST2,4 (balanced), and an

additional two stereo returns ST5 (balanced) and ST6 (unbalanced). The

16:2 has two stereo return inputs ST1 (balanced) and ST2

(unbalanced). All inputs use TRS jacks. Unbalanced inputs automatically

connect the TRS ring to ground for working with balanced sources. The L

input is normalled through the R input to accept mono signals.

Note that the ST5 (WZ

12:2) or ST1 (WZ

16:2) stereo return input mixes

with the internal effects processor return. This means that an external

effects device fed from a different aux mix can mix with the internal

processor to save input channels. Alternatively, you could turn the internal

unit off and use the ST5 (ST1) input with an external unit only if preferred.

INSERT A single 3-pole TRS jack carries the unbalanced insert signal.

Tip = send, Ring = return, Sleeve = common ground. The channel insert

is post-HPF, pre-EQ and operates at 0dBu. The LR mix insert is pre-fader

and operates at -2dBu. These should work fine with line level signal

processing equipment such as compressors, outboard EQ, delay units and

so on. An example of a suitable cable is shown here:

DIRECT OUTPUT The mic/line channel direct output is available on

an impedance balanced TRS jack. It is a line level signal operating at

0dBu. The source is set using an internal option jumper for each channel.

The factory default setting is pre-fade (following the pre/post-EQ setting).

This may be changed to post-fade if preferred.

The direct outputs provide a useful source for multitrack recording. Many

users prefer pre-fade sends for this application so that the live show fader

movements do not affect the recording which can be mixed later. Another

application is channel effects sends. For example, a reverb unit may be

dedicated to work with the lead vocalist channel only. Using a post-fade

direct output instead of an aux send frees up that aux mix for other

purposes.
