The WZ4 16:2 is a seriously capable analogue mixer, perfect for smaller bands, live sound reinforcement, or even a well-equipped home studio. It’s got that classic Allen & Heath sound – warm, reliable, and versatile – without the complexity of a digital board. A great choice if you want a hands-on mixing experience and don’t need a ton of bells and whistles.
