YamahaMGX16 22-Channel Digital Mixer - Black
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
MGX16 brings 22-channel digital mixing to a black console with a 4.3-inch touchscreen, five rotary encoders, and 16 faders. Its input complement accommodates multi-mic sources alongside line-level playback, and every channel has EQ, gate, compression, and Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip processing. MAIN and SUB USB-C interfaces divide multitrack work from secondary streaming or routing duties. For backup or standalone capture, microSD records up to 16 tracks. Eight pads can call up cues, effects, test tones, or recalled scenes during a session.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rehearsal or live setups needing multi-mic sources, stereo playback, effects returns, and sound-pad cues.
- Recording 22 tracks through MAIN USB while using the secondary USB connection for streaming or auxiliary routing.
- Streaming or podcast sessions using Auto Gain, Clip Safe, ducking, and output-stage processing.
