Our take on the Yamaha MG16XU 16-Channel Mixer
The Yamaha MG16XU is a 16-channel analog mixer with USB and effects, built for streams with many inputs. At a tracked $674.99 it sits at the top of its $573.74 to $674.99 range since July 13, 2026, about $101 over the low, so wait for a sale.
It has up to 10 mic inputs, split between 8 combo jacks and 2 XLR inputs, with D-PRE preamps and SPX digital effects. One-knob compressors and high pass filters help clean up voices. USB sends the mix to a PC. The mixer weighs 6800 g. Retailers rate it 4.4 across 315 ratings.
