Rugged and durable from the outside in and sonically sweet from the inside out, the new Yamaha MGP16X mixer is the perfect solution for venues who want a reliable, great sounding console to ensure that all of their presentations sound clear and full. The MGP16X possesses all of the features necessary to handle a wide variety of input requirements. The buit-in rack railing and included mounting kit make this mixer a perfect choice for any small to medium sized nightclub or function hall.
The MGP16X is also ideal for mobile solo acts and bands, as it is lightweight, sits comfortably and safely on a tabletop, and possesses all of the features a live act typically needs. From rehearsal to performance and even for simple recording, the MGP16X delivers a clean mix. The discrete Class A microphone preamps give your mics all of the bite and clarity they can possibly deliver. Add to that a 100 cycle high pass filter, dedicated compressor, and 48V phantom power all per channel, and you have an input scheme that can accommodate a wide variety of input devices.
Dual effects processors, a sweepable mid equalizer and posted high and low EQ knobs allow for detailed tailoring of each channel’s sound. A versatile monitor mixing bus lets everyone on stage hear what they need to hear in order to deliver their best performance.
Other cool features include a ‘ducker,’ which lowers the volume of background music anytime a vocal channel is engaged, making the MGP16X ideal for installations where presentations are sometimes made. There is a tap button for timing your delay processor settings and a variable stereo imager to make your music sound right no matter the size or shape of the room. Digital I/O for iPod or iPhone provides lossless clarity and punch for your “canned” music, either for between sets or for background music during presentations. The I/O even charges the connected device!
Patching accepts ¼” or XLR inputs in each of the mono channels and also accommodates RCA inputs from analog playback devices. The MGP16X mixer makes sounding great easy and straightforward.

I don't know where to begin with this thing. I've been using, and very happy with all of the MG series mixers. Two 24/14fx and a bunch of the smaller ones. All have been rock solid performers with good sound and versatility. The MGP is better...period! The preamps are cleaner and have the depth and detail you'd expect to have to pay big for. You could (if two tracks at a time works for you) record through this thing and get really good results.
The effects and how they are implemented seem incrementally better as well. Having the two processors enables you to run a drum mix with it's own effects and save FX#2 for vocals and other instruments.
The aux section is really good as well. Because FX1 and FX2 are not broken when plugging into their sends, you have the ability to get four sends (using aux 3 and aux 4 as well) going...very nice.
Somehow, even the EQ sounds sweeter and just seems to work more effectively. As always, you should use as little EQ as possible with any desk...however, it sure is nice to have a great EQ when you need it!
The flexibility of the MGP series is no small thing, and about any scenario should be covered. Lastly, everything feels comfortable and not cramped. The little "extras" like ducking (!), compression, levelling and usb, are icing on the cake. I was thinking it would be nice to have a lamp socket for those dark clubs, but then remembered that there's usb right on the control surface...DOH! Inexpensive LED usb gooseneck is on the way :)
Did all the research I could find out there, just wanted to give a review of the gear so far. I un-boxed everything and loaded it right to my truck then took off to the fair grounds. Unloaded everything to the event tent and set it all up. I tried to read the manual on the way over (I had my buddy drive my truck) but, never got a real chance to go thru it. We winged it and got a fairly descent sound (as far as I could tell, I was doing sound from behind my kit). Then the tent next door (with 20,000 watts of power) cranked up their band and we were completely washed out. The night was miserable and couldn't wait to get it over with.
Saturday morning in my studio however, I really dug into it. I set up the DXR15's on tripods and 1 Harbinger 18" powered sub in the middle. I tried multiple ways of hooking it up - with and without subs and found the most suitable setup is the standard, thru the subs, (1-sub for my studio size)
Then I dug into the mixer and this is when the real fun started, the pre-amps are simply awesome, does not color the sound and very very quiet. And to my surprise - the compressor is outstanding, after finding the best mic placement (on my kick, snare & toms anyway) and adjusting with a nice pair of headphones. Moving down to the EQ and I now know what expressive eq is, it's all that - expressive, even the smallest adjustment is sonically evident. No need for an on board 7 band eq on the stereo output stage (like most other boards). A dbx drive rack is really all that's needed. Aux section is as easy as all other boards with the option of running the dual fx thru them, (love the xlr and 1/4 outs too). The dual DSP and SPX effects are usable and suffice for anything I'd need them for, their not the greatest stock settings BUT, I've also not hooked up an ipad or iphone to be able to adjust all the parameters of them, (I can't wait to do that). I also like that your settings will stay put even after power off and you can factory reset with a simple procedure, (in the manual). Having the faders for fx-1 and fx-2 is really cool too, gives you the option of a little more customization of fx on each track/input, (just make sure they're turned on). Routing is pretty standard that go very nicely with all the features of this board. I love the I/O, insert points @ each xlr input, stereo fx return, fx 1&2 send, ipod/iphone usb in, 2 tracks of L&R auxiliary inputs, 2 tracks stereo channel with digital integration etc...
If your looking for a mixer that can do just about any type of audio situation imaginable - this one can handle it easy, not only with ease but a top quality sound. Yamaha scored BIG with this mixer! I bought/paired this up with the new DXR 15's and I could not be happier. My kit never sounded this good thru my old Mackie (American made years) VLZ1604.
