Yamaha MG16 Standard 16-Channel Analogue Mixer

The Yamaha MG16 is the standard third-generation 16-channel analogue mixing console, not the X or XU version. Its input layout combines 8 mono microphone/line channels, two mono/stereo microphone/line channels and two stereo line channels, supporting up to 10 microphone inputs. D-PRE microphone preamps, switchable forty-eight-volt phantom power and one-knob compressors provide practical control for suitable microphones and connected line-level sources. The mixer routes signals through a stereo bus, 4 group outputs and 4 auxiliary sends, with dedicated monitor and headphone connections. Balanced XLR and phone stereo outputs connect to suitable sound systems. The standard model does not contain a USB audio interface or an onboard SPX effects processor: computer recording and external effects require additional appropriate equipment. A Cubase AI software licence is not promised for this non-XU version. The metal chassis measures 444 by 130 by 500 millimetres and weighs 6.6 kilograms, supporting a compact live-sound or installed-audio setup without confusing input-channel count with microphone-input count.
