Club Installation

The WZ20S versatility and number of source inputs makes it ideal as a high

performance installed club console.

Hybrid application The console provides facilities for dance/DJ and

live/cabaret mixing. As a ‘house’ mixer it would be expected to alternate

between performance DJ’ing, house DJ, live acts, cabaret, karaoke and

background music.

Dance/DJ Plug the music sources such as CD and record decks into the

stereo channels. An RIAA preamp option can be installed for direct connection

to record decks. Typically, the guest DJ would plug his favourite mixing ‘box’

into a stereo channel. There are enough stereo inputs to leave all sources

permanently connected. A DJ microphone may be plugged into a mono

channel.

Live/cabaret The mono channels provide facility for mixing up to 4

microphones for live acts such as musical duos and cabaret. Many acts use

backing tracks such as CD or MiniDisc. These should be plugged into stereo

channels. Use pre-fade AUX sends to feed foldback monitors such as stage

wedge speakers. Use post-fade auxes to feed effects processors such as

reverb, typically applied to vocals or guitar. The wet reverb effect can be added

to the mix by returning it to an available stereo channel or an EXT input. Make

sure the correct EXT routing switches are selected.

Grouping You can create a ‘live’ group by assigning MIX1 as a stereo

su/jointfilesconvert/1584599/bgroup to MIX2. Here, the live act microphone, backing tracks and effects

returns should be routed to MIX1 only. The ‘DJ’ sources should route direct to

MIX2 only. This lets you control the live mix with a single fader, for example to

turn the live sources off when the DJ is performing.

Output example 1 MIX2 feeds the house system with its MONO output

driving the sub bass or additional zone speakers. Use the additional TRS jack

outputs to drive a sound-to-light controller or for recording the show. MIX1

provides a ‘live’ su/jointfilesconvert/1584599/bgroup as described above. Select the underpanel switch

above the fader. Alternatively, MIX1 could feed an independent stereo zone.

This could be assigned for music mix only, leaving the DJ and MC microphones

active in the main performance or dance floor area only.

Output example 2 Here, MIX1 feeds the house system. MIX2 is assigned to

provide a music only zone feed. This could be the DJ booth speaker system or

independent music only zone. The additional TRS jacks can be used for

recording music only. The MONO output could feed a sound-to-light controller

not affected by the DJ or other microphones. Post-fade auxes can be used to

feed independent mono zones. The main outputs have independent meters,

balanced XLR connections and inserts for plugging in processors such as

limiters and EQ.

Monitoring Independent headphones and local monitor outputs satisfy the

specific needs of club mixing. Use SPLIT PFL to cue the next source in one ear

while keeping the program in the other with relative levels displayed on the

meters. This is ideal when matching music styles or beat. The local output

feeds the booth monitor speakers. Disable PFL if you want headphones only

cueing. The booth speakers can be muted (or optionally attenuated) by

pressing the DIM switch. Alternatively, use the MIX2 output to feed the booth

speakers if music only is required.
