Overview
The WZ4 range of mixers have the option of accommodating a high quality audio card that will send 16 audio channels to a computer for recording or processing and a return stereo channel for monitoring or effects. The card neatly mounts within the rear pod of the WZ4 mixer and the data is available from a USB2 connector at the rear of the mixer. There are 2 switches on either side of the USB2 connector which change routing options, these are described below. The option card must be installed by a technically qualified service engineer refer to the fitting instructions document AP8988 for further information on how the audio card is installed

This interface card has been tested with a variety of computers and operating systems.
With the higher sample rates (88.2 & 96 kHz) we recommend that you take some time to optimise your system latency settings to ensure that no clicks or dropouts are added to the recorded data.
For higher immunity against bandwidth related timing issues, we recommend operating at 44.1 or 48kHz sample rate. we recommend operating at 44.1 or 48kHz sample rate.
