About Yamaha MG16XU

Let the Yamaha MG16XU 16-Input Mixer elevate your audio mixing experience with its professional-grade capabilities and robust feature set. This high-quality mixer is designed to handle a diverse array of sound sources, making it an indispensable tool for live performances, studio recordings, and multimedia applications such as lectures and presentations.

Crafted with versatility in mind, the MG16XU boasts eight mono mic/line combo input channels, offering the flexibility to connect both XLR and 1/4" inputs. Additionally, it includes two stereo line input channels that double as mono mic or line inputs, as well as two more stereo line inputs equipped with both 1/4" and RCA jacks, catering to a wide variety of audio setups.

The advanced USB connectivity of the MG16XU allows seamless integration with your computer, providing a 2-in/2-out interface with up to 24-bit / 192kHz quality. This feature is perfect for capturing crystal-clear recordings of live performances, demos, and more, directly to your digital workstation.

Each channel from 1 to 12 is outfitted with Yamaha's acclaimed D-PRE mic preamps, which utilize an inverted Darlington circuit to deliver a fat, rich, and smooth tone. The preamps are complemented by a 3-band EQ, pan control, and a high-pass filter, giving you complete control over your sound. The switchable +48V phantom power ensures compatibility with both dynamic and condenser microphones.

For handling high-output sources, channels 1-8 are equipped with 26dB attenuation switches, allowing you to manage the sound from guitar amplifiers, drums, and other loud instruments without distortion. The mixer's outputs include balanced XLR and TRS stereo outs for connecting to PA systems or monitor speakers, along with a 1/4" headphone output with level control for private monitoring and additional TRS 1/4" stereo monitor outs for external amplification.

The MG16XU stands out with its dedicated FX bus send level on each channel and a selection of 24 built-in effects presets, ranging from reverbs and delays to modulation effects like phaser, flanger, chorus, and tremolo, as well as auto-wah and distortion. These effects are easily managed with the dedicated FX return level control, allowing you to add depth and texture to your mix.

Durable and designed for the road, this mixer is built to withstand the rigors of touring and frequent use. Whether you're a professional sound engineer or an audio enthusiast, the Yamaha MG16XU 16-Input Mixer with Built-In FX & 2-In/2-Out USB Interface is engineered to deliver exceptional sound quality and reliability for all your mixing needs.
