Soundcraft Ui16 - 16-Channel Digital Mixer with 8 XLR Combo/4 XLR Mic Inputs and WiFi Control in Black Finish

The Soundcraft Ui16 is a versatile and highly portable 16-channel digital mixer designed for live sound applications, offering seamless wireless control and integration with various devices. It supports cross-platform compatibility with iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OS, and Linux, allowing you to control the mix from up to 10 devices simultaneously via smartphones, tablets, or PCs. This flexibility makes the Ui16 ideal for bands, musicians, houses of worship, and small to medium live events, where on-the-go control is critical. Whether you're a seasoned live engineer or a solo artist, the Ui16 combines powerful features with ease of use in a compact and rugged chassis, perfect for floor use in demanding live environments.

With its eight XLR combo mic/line inputs and four dedicated XLR mic inputs, the Ui16 provides robust input capabilities. It also includes two Hi-Z inputs for instruments like guitars, a stereo RCA line input for media devices, and a 2-channel USB media player. The mixer delivers four balanced XLR Aux outputs, two 1/4-inch headphone outputs with independent level control, and balanced stereo XLR and 1/4-inch main outputs, giving you the connectivity needed for versatile setups. The Ui16's USB functionality also allows for 2-channel audio playback and 2-channel recording directly to USB memory devices, making it easy to capture and play back performances.

What sets the Ui16 apart is its integration of HARMAN's world-class signal processing. This includes dbx AFS2 feedback suppression, DigiTech Amp Modeling for guitar and bass, and Lexicon FX with dedicated reverb, delay, and chorus effects busses. Every input channel is equipped with powerful processing tools, such as 4-band parametric EQ, a high-pass filter, compressor, de-esser, and noise gate. The outputs feature a 31-band graphic EQ, noise gate, and compressor, all of which can be adjusted via the integrated real-time frequency analyzer (RTA) on both inputs and outputs for precise sound control.

The Ui16 supports advanced mixer controls such as Subgroups, Mute Groups, and View Groups, offering intuitive management of complex mixes. Full Show/Snapshot recallability enables you to store and quickly retrieve mix settings, making the mixer ideal for repeat performances or events with varying setups. To ensure a secure operating environment, the Ui16 includes a password-protected access limitation system that restricts user access to specific mixer functions and features. The mixer also provides dual network interfaces for simultaneous control via both Wi-Fi and Ethernet, ensuring stable and flexible connectivity in any environment.

Built to endure the rigors of live performances, the Ui16 features a rugged chassis designed for floor-ready use, making it a reliable solution for on-stage and front-of-house mixing. Its compact size and integrated Wi-Fi mean setup is quick and easy, with no need for additional external hardware. The combination of powerful digital mixing features, seamless wireless control, and legendary HARMAN processing make the Soundcraft Ui16 a standout solution for any live sound professional.
