Yamaha MG16XU 16-Channel USB Mixer with Effects

The Yamaha MG16XU is a 16-channel analogue mixing console with 10 microphone inputs, D-PRE preamps and an integrated stereo USB audio interface. Its input layout combines 8 mono MIC/LINE strips, two stereo-capable MIC/LINE strips and two stereo line-input strips. This is a 16-channel mixer, not a 16-microphone preamp bank. One-knob compression on selected mono channels helps control signal dynamics, while the SPX effects processor provides 24 programs for adding effects to the mix. The console has 4 group buses, one stereo bus and 4 auxiliary buses including the effects send. USB audio supports two input and two output channels at up to 24-bit/192kHz, making it suitable for stereo recording and playback rather than separate multitrack capture of every mixer channel. Balanced XLR stereo outputs provide the main connection to a PA system, with group, monitor and headphone outputs available for routing and monitoring. Yamaha specifies +48V phantom power and an internal universal power supply. The metal chassis measures 444 × 130 × 500mm in width-by-height-by-depth order and weighs 6.8kg. Yamaha lists the rack-mount kit as included. This listing is for one MG16XU console; microphones, stands, speakers and computer connection accessories are not promised as included.
