The Allen & Heath WZ20S was a truly ‘customer-led’ project. They were getting a lot of emails and calls from small broadcast outfits, keyboard fanatics and hire companies who had lots of stereo sources to mix, but couldn’t find a good quality console that could do the job without costing an absolute fortune. They couldn’t resist a challenge like that, so a few months later, WZ20S was born. As well as accommodating an incredible 40 inputs to 2 independent mixes, this Wizard can be tailored for the job with a host of options like fader-start and turntable inputs.

Now upgraded to WZ3 status, the 20S remains a favorite mixer for small broadcast studios, internet radio stations, project studios and stereo sub-mixing anywhere. Featuring the new WZ3 preamp and responsive EQ, the WZ3 20S provides 12 channels with no fewer than 4 mono and 18 stereo sources.

On the WZ3 20S, 8 dual stereo input channels are provided, each with TRS jack ‘A’ and XLR ‘B’ inputs. These may be mixed together into the channel or mode switched to provide up to 16 independent sources to the mix—ideal for multi-stereo keyboard and recording applications.
