Yamaha MGX16V Digital Mixing Console

Elevate your mix with “True Sound” accuracy

Boasting abundant connectivity and robust digital processing, the MGX16V offers a flexible solution for live sound, podcasting, streaming, and recording. Thoughtfully selected local I/O options, including eight stunning MGX mic preamps on Mic/Line combo inputs and four Headphone outputs, provide an effective foundation for a wide range of applications. Onboard DSP provides studio-quality effects and latency-free monitoring, while extensive mixing capabilities — featuring mono and stereo channels, a dedicated Sound Pad, two FX channels, and robust Mix, FX, Cue, and Stereo buses — ensure total control and creative freedom. Here, we’ve found that the MGX16V’s MGX preamps and high‑performance AD/DA converters perfectly encapsulate Yamaha’s celebrated “True Sound” philosophy, delivering an impressive 86dB gain range, ultra‑low distortion, and a 125dB dynamic range.

Powering creativity with a multifunctional workflow

While the Yamaha MGX16V 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 MGX16V 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 MGX16V 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 MGX16V’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.

Unrivaled power for stunning audiovisual production

The Yamaha MGX16V comes equipped with advanced HDMI-USB capture and HDMI passthrough capabilities, facilitating seamless integration of high-definition video into your video production or streaming setup. With the MGX16V, you can craft a compact, unified system that manages PA and monitors audio while simultaneously supporting streaming and recording — exactly what you need to accommodate small‑scale live events, hybrid concerts, podcasts, and full broadcast workflows. Simply put, this digital mixer delivers a level of audiovisual performance that inspires confidence, enabling audio and video to work together flawlessly. Boasting HDMI In and Thru, along with a robust USB-HDMI interface capable of handling up to 4K at 60 fps, 1440p at 120 fps, and 1080p at a stunning 240 fps, the MGX16V makes it easy to capture and pass through high‑definition audio and video from cameras, gaming consoles, and other external devices, yielding content that always looks and sounds its best.
