The Yamaha MG16XU is a versatile 16-channel mixing console designed for live sound, studio recording, and installation environments that demand professional audio quality and flexible routing. Supporting up to 10 microphone inputs and 16 total line inputs (8 mono + 4 stereo), it provides ample connectivity for bands, worship venues, conferences, and small production setups. Four group buses plus a stereo bus ensure organized signal management, while four AUX sends (including FX) allow flexible monitor mixes and external processing.

Powered by Yamaha’s renowned D-PRE mic preamps featuring an inverted Darlington circuit, the MG16XU delivers clean, natural, and detailed sound. Built-in 1-knob compressors provide simple and effective dynamic control, and the high-grade SPX effects processor includes 24 professional-quality programs such as reverb, delay, and modulation. The integrated 24-bit/192kHz 2-in/2-out USB audio interface enables high-resolution recording and playback directly to and from your computer. It also works seamlessly with iPad (2 or later) using the Apple Camera Connection Kit or Lightning to USB Camera Adapter, and includes a Cubase AI DAW software download for immediate music production.

Additional professional features include PAD switches on mono inputs, +48V phantom power, balanced XLR outputs, an internal universal power supply for worldwide use, and a rugged metal chassis built for durability. Supplied with a rack mount kit, the MG16XU offers premium performance, reliability, and flexibility in a compact and professional format.
