Soundcraft Ui16 16-channel Digital Mixer

The Soundcraft Ui16 is a compact and powerful digital mixer designed to give performers, sound engineers, and event professionals complete control of their audio with remarkable convenience. Built with a rugged metal chassis, it’s well suited for the demands of live sound while remaining lightweight and portable. The Ui16 is a 16-input, rackmountable mixer that allows users to manage their entire mix wirelessly from any device with a browser, such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop—no app or software download required. This flexibility eliminates the need to be tied to the console physically, letting you make adjustments while walking around the venue, standing on stage, or mixing from the audience area to ensure the best possible sound for every listener.

Equipped with 12 discrete mic/line inputs, including eight high-quality combo inputs with Studer-designed preamps and two dedicated Hi-Z inputs for instruments, the Soundcraft Ui16 provides exceptional clarity and headroom. Two channels feature Hi-Z inputs, perfect for plugging in guitars or bass directly without needing a DI box, while two additional line inputs expand your connectivity options for external devices. It includes a built-in dbx AFS2 advanced feedback suppression system, a Lexicon effects engine offering reverb, delay, and chorus, and dbx compressor controls on input channels for professional-grade audio shaping. The inclusion of a 31-band graphic EQ on the main and auxiliary outputs allows for detailed sound sculpting and venue optimization, making it easier to adapt to challenging acoustics and reduce unwanted frequencies.

Another highlight of the Ui16 is its robust connectivity and control options. It features built-in dual-band Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections, so you can connect multiple devices simultaneously and even let performers control their own monitor mixes. The mixer supports up to 10 devices at once, providing everyone involved in the performance the ability to adjust their sound when needed. Its rugged yet compact design means it’s ideal for mobile DJs, small to mid-sized bands, houses of worship, corporate events, and rental companies looking for a reliable digital mixer with professional sound tools in a highly portable form. The Soundcraft Ui16 combines user-friendly operation with advanced processing and remote control freedom, making it a smart choice for both seasoned engineers and self-mixing performers
