Allen & Heath MixWizard4 16:2 analog mixing console

The Allen & Heath MixWizard4 16:2 is a versatile professional-grade mixing console designed for live sound reinforcement, installations, and recording applications. It delivers a reliable 16-channel analog workflow with high-quality signal processing and flexible routing options, making it suitable for bands, venues, houses of worship, and AV professionals.

Each of the 16 mic/line input channels is equipped with balanced XLR/TRS connectivity, +48V phantom power, and high-headroom preamps for clean and detailed audio capture. The console features a 4-band EQ with dual swept mid bands, allowing precise tonal shaping for vocals, instruments, and mixed program material. Integrated high-pass filtering helps reduce unwanted low-frequency noise for clearer mixes.

The MixWizard4 16:2 includes six auxiliary sends for monitor mixes and external effects processing, along with direct outputs on every channel for multitrack recording or integration with external audio interfaces. Two stereo return paths allow easy integration of external playback devices or effects units into the main mix bus.

A key highlight of the system is its built-in dual FX engine with 20 preset effects, providing onboard reverbs, delays, and modulation options for live performance environments without external processors. The 100mm long-throw faders ensure precise level control, while tri-color LED metering and peak indicators provide accurate visual monitoring of signal levels.

The mixer is designed with robust construction and a rack-mountable format, ensuring durability for touring and fixed installations. Its intuitive layout places all controls and connections on the top surface, enabling fast setup and efficient operation in professional audio environments.
