Designed for modern productions where audio and video must work together seamlessly, the Yamaha MGX16V delivers professional sound, expanded channel capacity and integrated HDMI video capture in a single, intuitive console. This 16-channel digital mixer combines Yamaha’s trusted MG-series “True Sound” quality with a responsive 4.3" color touchscreen, 15+1 fader layout and extensive analog I/O for live sound, installed venues, podcasting, streaming and recording. Dual USB audio interfaces, Bluetooth input, onboard multitrack recording and a built-in USB-HDMI audio/video interface with capture and passthrough allow creators and engineers to manage complex hybrid productions from one device—reducing external converters and splitters while improving workflow efficiency and system reliability.
Integrated HDMI-to-USB Audio/Video Capture and Passthrough
The defining feature of the MGX16V is its integrated USB-HDMI audio/video interface, which enables simultaneous high-definition video capture and real-time HDMI passthrough alongside full audio mixing. This allows users to send video directly to a computer for recording or streaming while maintaining an active HDMI feed to monitors or projectors. Supporting resolutions up to 4K/60Hz, the MGX16V simplifies hybrid events, livestreams and multi-presenter productions by replacing external HDMI capture devices—reducing system complexity and improving reliability in A/V workflows.
Touch-Controlled Digital Mixing With Expanded Channel Capacity
At the core of the MGX16V is Yamaha’s “Touch and Turn” operating concept, pairing a vivid touchscreen with five dedicated control knobs and a 15+1 hands-on fader configuration for fast, confident operation. With eight mono inputs, four stereo channels, FX returns and sound pad integration, the MGX16V accommodates larger ensembles, multi-mic applications and layered playback sources with ease. The hybrid interface keeps critical controls immediately accessible while preserving the tactile feel engineers rely on in live and production environments.
Professional DSP and Assist Tools for Confident Results
Comprehensive onboard DSP powers every channel, including EQ, gate, compression and Yamaha’s Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip for intuitive tone shaping. Streaming-focused tools, such as ducking, multiband compression and output-stage processing, help maintain clarity and consistency for broadcast and online content, while latency-free monitoring supports reliable performance. Assistive features including Auto Gain, Clip Safe, Scene Recall and Simple/Standard operation modes reduce setup time and help prevent errors—making the MGX16V effective for both experienced engineers and fast-paced productions.
Hybrid Connectivity and Multitrack Recording Flexibility
Built for modern workflows, the MGX16V offers extensive connectivity and recording options. Dual USB ports provide a 22-in/22-out, 32-bit/96kHz MAIN interface for multitrack recording, alongside a secondary 2-in/2-out USB SUB interface for streaming or auxiliary routing. Bluetooth 5.0 supports wireless audio playback, while a microSD card slot enables up to 22-track recording and 2-track playback for backup capture or standalone operation. Multiple mic/line inputs, stereo channels, eight TRS outputs and four headphone outputs support flexible system configuration across a wide range of environments.
A Complete Audio/Visual Mixing Ecosystem
Beyond hardware, the MGX16V integrates seamlessly into Yamaha’s broader production ecosystem, including bundled Steinberg software for music creation, podcasting, editing and publishing. Designed for engineers, producers, streamers, performers and content creators working with both sound and picture, it delivers the reliability of a professional console with the flexibility of modern audio/video integration. For productions that demand scalable mixing, fast operation and seamless A/V workflows, the Yamaha MGX16V stands as a powerful, future-ready centerpiece.
