22-Channel Digital Mixing Console for Live Sound Streaming and Recording
The Yamaha MGX16 B is a 22-channel digital mixing console designed to manage live sound, podcasting, streaming, music production, and professional recording from a single control surface. It combines tactile faders, touchscreen control, onboard DSP processing, and advanced connectivity to support demanding audio workflows in both live and installed environments.
Touchscreen Control with Hands-On Mixing Precision
A responsive touchscreen interface works alongside physical faders, knobs, and buttons to provide fast, intuitive control over every aspect of the mix. Operators can adjust levels, routing, effects, and scenes quickly, making the MGX16 B well suited for situations where speed and accuracy matter, such as live events or broadcast productions.
High-Gain MGX Microphone Preamps for Professional Sound
Eight combo mic and line inputs are equipped with MGX microphone preamps offering up to 86 dB of gain. These preamps provide clean signal capture with low noise and wide dynamic range, ensuring accurate reproduction of vocals, instruments, and spoken word across a wide range of sound sources.
Extensive Channel Processing and DSP Effects
Each channel includes built-in EQ, compression, gating, and studio-grade effects that can be applied without external processors. Additional creative tools such as amp simulation, reverb, and voice processing allow users to shape sound directly within the console, supporting polished results for live sound and recorded content.
Advanced Routing and Output Flexibility
The MGX16 B features a robust bus structure that supports multiple mix buses, effects sends, cue monitoring, and a stereo bus. Multiple XLR and TRS outputs, along with four independent headphone outputs, allow flexible monitoring and signal distribution for performers, engineers, and broadcast feeds.
Integrated Recording Playback and Wireless Audio Support
Dual USB connections allow high-channel-count recording and playback alongside a dedicated secondary USB path for streaming or monitoring. Bluetooth audio input enables wireless playback from mobile devices, while the integrated microSD card slot supports up to 16-track standalone recording and two-track playback without a computer.
Built for Mobile and Installed Use
Despite its extensive feature set, the MGX16 B maintains a compact footprint and manageable weight, making it suitable for portable rigs as well as permanent installations. Its durable construction supports reliable operation in venues, houses of worship, studios, and touring environments.
