Allen & Heath

Great sound, intuitive operation, and plenty of routing options.

The Allen & Heath MixWizard 3 16:2 mixer is the third generation of this popular series known for its fantastic sound and functionality.

A great mixer, once you learn how to use it that is!

I just got the Allen and Heath MixWizard 3 for my cover band "Every Atom, and it's really nice, once you know what everything does.  I couldn't figure out how to get an fx out of the mixer built in fx. I had reverb selected, but nothing came through. The problem was that the volume wasn't up enough, so if you're planning on using this mixer, prepare yourself to play LOUD if you want fx, which you want to. You have to or your sound will be really bad. overall, a good mixer I highly recommend this for a band playing at big places and needs a powerful mixer.

Very pleased with this product.  I've had a Mackie CR-1604 for about 15 years.  This mixer is a huge upgrade.  The preamps are very clean.  The onboard effects aren't the best (versus my Lexicon) but they work well for rehearsal.  Overall it is very good deal for the price.  Sounds great and easy to work with.

I have used middle of the road boards of all types on up to pro consoles in live and recording environments...this little oddly colored blue friend never let's me down...even in some more critical project/live recording situations, sitting everything in the mix spectrum with almost too much ease.

Considering all others on the market in this range and slightly above it, anything it lacks, it makes up for by including what others lack. Whole bunch of what I need...nothing I don't...to break or make noise.

Solid, all pots bolted direct to chassis. Channels can be swapped vs. basically scrapping the entire board to "fix" it, as with some others. Sound is honest, warm, clear, natural. What's this? An actual musical reliable EQ in a live board that I do not have to first roll off ugly artifacts...I'm stunned. On board FX are good to stock-ish (which is ok too), useful live, they manage to add rather convincing "live ambience" to suit a room, this carries over to recorded mixes even. Don't know if this was intentional, but it's quite cool. All those wonderful aux busses for effects/subs...direct outs on every channel, internal switch settings that allow a whole bunch of useful configurations.

Quality, build and sound vs. features and price all rolled up...it's a hit.

this small compact mixer is great. unlike other products, it will do what you ask of it. With a good system it is you fault if you can't get a good sound. I have a small band and our mackie PA system sounds alot better than before. Very clean and better control than Mackie 1604. Thanks Musicians Friend for great deal too!!!!
