The QSC TouchMix-16 16-Channel Compact Digital Mixer puts pro-level live mixing capabilities into an easy-to-use, portable package. This innovative mixer from QSC delivers pristine sound quality and robust routing and effects processing through an intuitive touchscreen interface, ideal for managing medium-format mixing tasks. Musicians and audio engineers alike will appreciate the TouchMix-16's versatile connectivity, including 12 XLR inputs, 4 XLR/1/4" hybrid inputs and multiple aux and main outputs to handle a range of input sources.

Touchscreen Interface Provides Effortless Control

The TouchMix-16 is operated through its built-in 7" color touchscreen, enabling quick and intuitive control over all mixing parameters. Users can choose between Advanced Mode for total control or Simple Mode for essential adjustments only. The touchscreen mimics the familiar layout of a traditional analog mixer, with clearly labeled knobs, faders and buttons on an easy-to-read display. This innovative yet approachable interface allows both novice and experienced engineers to easily craft professional-quality mixes.

Four Powerful DSP Engines Deliver Pristine Sound

At the heart of the TouchMix-16 are four powerful DSP engines providing EQ, dynamics, delay and reverb on all input channels. Six aux sends are available for monitor or effect sends, each with their own dedicated EQ. The mixer offers a variety of professional-grade presets to get you started, which can then be customized to your needs. Additional effects include pitch correction on channel 1 for vocal tuning. With its robust DSP capabilities, the TouchMix-16 delivers the polished, nuanced sound quality required for live performance.

Plentiful I/O Options Handle Diverse Input Sources

The TouchMix-16 provides extensive input and output connectivity for handling a range of input sources in live and recording applications. Twelve XLR inputs and four XLR/1/4" hybrid inputs offer microphone and line-level connectivity, while the stereo RCA input pairs accommodate media players or keyboards. Dual USB ports allow direct recording to a flash drive or streaming audio via a Wi-Fi dongle. Multiple aux, main and monitor outputs—including six XLR aux sends—provide flexible routing options for in-ear monitors, mains speakers or recording equipment.

Roadworthy, Compact Form Factor

The TouchMix-16 has a rugged yet compact form factor suitable for mobile live sound mixing on stage or in tight spaces. Its lightweight, all-metal chassis protects the mixer during transport while keeping it highly portable. The optional TMS-1 accessory bag provides padded protection and storage for cables, microphones and other accessories. For live sound engineers and working musicians seeking an intuitive, portable and affordably priced digital mixer, the QSC TouchMix-16 delivers professional results in a road-ready package.
