The Yamaha MGX16V is a 16-input digital mixing console that continues the legacy of Yamaha's industry-leading MG series, melding studio-quality sound with flexible routing, intuitive operation, and seamless video integration. Built on Yamaha's celebrated "True Sound" philosophy, this versatile mixer is equally capable for live sound, podcasting, streaming, and music production, making it an ideal centerpiece for musicians, content creators, and audio professionals at any level.
Product Overview
The MGX16V is built around eight premium-quality MGX mic preamps on Mic/Line combo inputs, delivering an impressive 86dB gain range, ultra-low distortion, and a 125dB dynamic range — a true reflection of Yamaha's "True Sound" philosophy and high-performance AD/DA conversion. Sixteen flexible mixing channels include mono and stereo channels, a dedicated Sound Pad, two FX channels, and robust Mix, FX, Cue, and Stereo buses, giving users comprehensive routing and creative control for any application.
Despite its extensive feature set, the MGX16V remains remarkably intuitive thanks to 16 non-motorized faders, a vivid 4.3-inch touchscreen, and five control knobs. Refined onboard DSP delivers pristine digital effects and latency-free monitoring, while assistive features including Auto Gain, Clip Safe, Simple/Standard mode, and Scene Recall streamline workflow for users at every experience level.
The MGX16V's video integration sets it apart from standard digital mixers — a USB-HDMI audio/video interface with capture functionality and real-time HDMI passthrough allows seamless integration of high-definition video into streaming and production workflows, supporting up to 4K at 60fps, 1440p at 120fps, and 1080p at 240fps. Combined with a 22-in/22-out USB audio interface, Bluetooth audio input, onboard 16-track recording to microSD card, and tight integration with Elgato and OBS Studio, the MGX16V functions as a complete audiovisual production hub in a single unit.
