Yamaha MG16XU 16-channel Mixer with USB and FX

The Yamaha MG16XU is a versatile 16-channel analog mixer designed for live sound, studio recording, installations, and portable rigs. With high-quality mic preamps, intuitive dynamics control, USB connectivity, and built-in digital effects, this mixer delivers professional-grade audio performance and flexible control in a rugged format.

D-PRE Mic Preamps for Natural, Transparent Sound

At the core of the MG16XU are Yamaha’s D-PRE Class-A mic preamps, engineered to deliver wide frequency response, low noise, and transparent tone. These preamps reproduce vocals and instruments with rich lows and clear highs without exaggerating any part of the signal making them ideal for both live and studio applications.

One-Knob Compressors for Quick Dynamic Control

Achieve tighter mixes and more presence with Yamaha’s one-knob compressors on select channels. Whether you’re dialing in punchier drums, more consistent vocals, or taming bass peaks, the simplified control gives you instant results without needing outboard gear or complex settings.

3-Band EQ and Highpass Filter for Precise Sound Shaping

Each mono channel includes a 3-band equalizer for sculpting your mix and a highpass filter to eliminate unwanted low-end rumble or mic handling noise. These tools make it easy to clean up your sound or tailor it to the room or application.

Built-In SPX Digital Effects for Polished Mixes

The MG16XU comes with a suite of 24 high-quality digital effects, based on Yamaha’s legendary SPX processing. From lush reverbs and clean delays to modulation effects and creative sound shaping, you have everything you need to add space, character, or subtle polish to your mix no external processors required.

High-Quality MG01 Op-Amps for Pristine Signal Path

Yamaha uses specially designed MG01 op-amps, optimized for audio quality over electrical efficiency. The result is a clean, accurate signal with low distortion and high headroom ensuring your mixes sound detailed and balanced at every stage.

Built for Real-World Use

The MG16XU is housed in a rugged metal chassis built to handle the demands of live performance and regular transport. It includes a rackmount kit, making it easy to integrate into permanent installations or touring racks.
