Yamaha MG16 16-Channel Stereo Mixer

16-Channel Analog Mixer with 10 Microphone Preamps, 4 Dedicated Stereo Line Channels, 4 Aux Sends, EQ, and 1-Knob Compressors

The MG16 from Yamaha is a compact mixer capable of sixteen simultaneous inputs and is ideal for performances, recordings lectures and more. The mixer features eight mono mic/line combo input channels, two stereo line input channels that can also be used as mono mic or line inputs (XLR and stereo 1/4" inputs), and two stereo line inputs with 1/4" and RCA jacks.

Channels 1-12 are each equipped with D-PRE mic preamps, 3-band EQ, pan control and a high-pass filter. The D-PRE mic preamps feature an inverted Darlington circuit and switchable 48V phantom power for use with dynamic and condenser microphones. Channels 1-8 each also feature 26dB attenuation switches for use with loud sound sources such as guitar amplifiers and drums.

The MG16 mixer has XLR and TRS stereo outs for connecting to your PA system or monitor speakers. It also has a 1/4" headphone output with level control for personal monitoring, as well as additional TRS 1/4" stereo monitor outs for sending to powered speakers, amplifiers or devices such as digital recorders.

Features:

• Four TRS auxiliary outputs with dedicated send level controls on each channel for routing aux mixes to external devices such as reverb units, monitor mixers and more
• Four group buses (two stereo) with overall level control fader and dedicated outputs for creating a sub mix such as a drum group, or for routing separate mixes to amplifiers, powered speakers or other external equipment
• 3-band EQ on channels 1-8 and 2-band EQ on channels 9-16
• Pan/balance control on each channel
• One-knob compressor on channels 1-8 to smooth out the dynamics of vocals and instruments to help them sit better in your mix
• Rugged metal chassis built to withstand wear and tear
• Internal universal power supply for worldwide use
