Yamaha MGX16 22-Channel Digital Mixing Console

Powering creativity with a multifunctional workflow

While the Yamaha MGX16 is certainly a powerful digital mixer, it also serves as a capable multifunctional creative hub. Its optimized integration capabilities, which include flexible routing and dual Main and Sub USB ports, equip you with a 22-in, 22-out USB audio interface, plus 2-track recording and playback on the Sub port. Bluetooth connectivity enables smooth wireless audio integration for performances, streaming, and studio sessions, while eight customizable pads allow you to trigger sound effects or user-defined functions in real time. Moreover, with the ability to record up to 16 tracks and play back two directly from a microSD card, the MGX16 empowers you to capture professional-quality audio anywhere, whether you’re backing up a mobile session or delivering polished playback in a live venue.

Smart tools that work as fast as you do

Navigating the MGX16 is an incredibly intuitive affair, thanks to its streamlined physical controls and an easy-to-use 4.3-inch touchscreen. The mixer’s 16 non-motorized faders facilitate precise control over audio levels, bolstered by dedicated Send knobs, a feature-packed touch LCD, four customizable knobs, and a responsive Touch and Turn knob. You’ll find the MGX16’s intelligent assistive tools — featuring Smart Gain and Clip Safe — especially valuable. Moreover, the Total FX suite, which includes a Ducker and a Multi-Band Compressor, certifies consistently polished results whether you’re onstage, in the studio, or in the midst of a livestream. You also get lightning-fast Scene Recall and an optional Simple Mode, enabling you to switch setups instantly and stay focused on what matters most: your creativity.
