Two stereo return inputs ST1 and ST2 are provided giving you a total of 20 inputs to
the L-R mix on the WZ16:2DX, or 16 inputs on the WZ12:2DX. These may be used
for returning the processed signal from the effects devices, monitoring and replaying
your 2-track recording, expander or submix inputs, or for stereo intermission replay.
AUX1/2 LEV - Sends the return signal (L and R combined into mono) to the Aux1
or Aux2 mix independent of the level to the main mix. This lets you feed effects to
the performers monitor. When using the return for 2-track replay you can replay
the recording to the performers cue. Up to +6dB boost is available.
L-R LEV - Adjusts the return signal level to the L-R mix.
Note that the internal effects processor is also brought back into the mix via the ST1
Aux and LR controls.

AUX MASTERS - Each aux mix has a master level control that adjusts the output
level to match external equipment, or to trim the monitor, effect or recording level
without affecting the mix balance. Up to +4dB of boost is available above the
nominal ‘0’ position.
L-R FADERS - Individual 100mm faders adjust the main L-R mix level with +10dB
boost available above the nominal ‘0’ position. For best performance the faders
should be operated around the ‘0’ position for normal ‘loud’ level. If you find yourself
operating significantly below ‘0’ then the amplifier or recorder input is too sensitive
for the console +4dBu output. Simply turn down the amplifier or recorder level trim.
If none is available then insert an attenuator pad between the console and
connected equipment.

ONITOR
PFL - A large red LED lights when any channel PFL switch is pressed. The PFL
signal overrides any selected monitor source.
MONITOR SWITCHBANK - 8 switches select which source you listen to on the
headphones and view on the L,R meters. These are Auxes1-6 and returns ST1and
ST2 in stereo. Priority works from the top of the switchbank down as follows: PFL
interrupts Aux, interrupts ST1, interrupts ST2.
For example, you can select all up to monitor your LR mix, then press ST1 to
interrupt L-R with your 2-track replay, then press an Aux to check a monitor.
Pressing any PFL always takes priority.
Auxes can be monitored in mono or as combined stereo pairs. For example, press
Aux1 for mono, press Aux1 and Aux2 together to monitor Aux1-2 as a stereo pair.
Pressing Aux3 overrides the Aux1-2 monitoring, and so on. This is most useful
when you set up stereo cue or recording sends.
