Digital Mixer That's Perfect for Live Gigs

The musician-friendly 16-channel Soundcraft Ui16 digital mixer has tons of features and powerful wireless control options, all at an affordable price. Each channel sports a 4-band EQ, compressor, de-esser, and access to award-winning Lexicon and dbx signal processing. The Ui16's built-in Wi-Fi lets you use any device with an HTML5-capable browser to control every aspect of this mixer. No app is needed, and you don't have to worry about OS limitations — use any phone, tablet, or computer! It's never been easier to take control of your mix than with Soundcraft's Ui16 digital mixer.

Connect and Control with Any Device

Take control of this digital mixer with any device

Soundcraft built Wi-Fi into the portable and compact Ui16 digital mixer. You don't need a router or other fancy device — this mixer has it all. Any device that can connect via Wi-Fi and has a browser can take control of the Ui16. That's right, no apps, no worrying about OS issues, just connect to the mixer and take control. Use your phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer. Soundcraft's Ui16 can connect up to 10 devices at the same time, so the band can take control of their own mixes and volumes. The Ui16's software gives you full input and output processing on each channel. You also get control of the effects parameters, buses, Shows/Snapshots, and much more. A handy Ethernet port lets you take wired control of this digital mixer via your computer or laptop. There is even an extra USB port for hooking up a monitor and mouse directly to the unit if you want. The Soundcraft Ui16 makes connecting to and taking control of your mix easier than ever!

  • Integrated Wi-Fi connects up to 10 devices simultaneously
  • Complete control via your HTML5-compatible browser — no app needed

Lexicon, dbx, and DigiTech Processing

Onboard signal processing gives you a professional sound

Soundcraft Ui16 digital mixers incorporate Lexicon effects, dbx signal processing, and DigiTech amp/stompbox modeling. Fully adjustable parameters mean you can tweak each effect to your heart's content. You get three dedicated effects buses that feature award-winning Lexicon effects including reverbs, delay, and chorus. Each channel has dbx compression, de-essing, and noise gating built in and ready to use, plus a powerful real-time frequency analyzer (RTA). The two hi-Z inputs feature DigiTech's amp and stompbox modeling with tons of amp, cabinet, and effects choices. Soundcraft's Ui16 digital mixer has all of the signal processing and effects you need to give your performance a professional sound.

  • Award-winning delays and reverbs from Lexicon
  • DigiTech amp/stompbox modeling for perfect guitar sounds
  • Every channel has dbx signal processing

Fights Feedback Automatically

The dbx AFS2 feedback system kills feedback dead

The Soundcraft Ui16's dbx AFS2 feedback suppressor boasts dbx's updated Advanced Feedback Suppression algorithm. The AFS2 listens to the incoming signal and can anticipate problem frequencies before feedback even begins. You won't hear it working, and you won't notice any sonic difference with it in your signal chain. Live sound engineers at Sweetwater know that even if you're an expert at tuning your sound system, cramped stage conditions or careless performers always have the potential of introducing feedback. The built-in dbx AFS2 feedback suppressor system in the Soundcraft Ui16 is like getting sonic insurance for your live sound.

  • 2-channel feedback suppressor
  • Updated AFS algorithms respond fast and transparently

It's a Soundcraft

As befitting any Soundcraft digital mixer, the Ui16 gives you innovative connection options, killer audio quality, and industry-standard Lexicon and dbx signal processing. With prodigious processing power, bulletproof reliability, impressive flexibility, amazing ease of use, and a surprisingly friendly price tag, Ui16 digital mixers are an outstanding value. And once you dial in the perfect sound, you can save it for instant recall at a later date. Exactly what you'd expect from Soundcraft.

Reviews

New Purchase
This is my first experience with a digital mixer so I was a bit concerned about a learning curve and level of difficulty. The factory presets and easy operation instructions dissolved those concerns. The first rehearsal with my band mates was a success and all were happy with the sound.
Music background: Self taught guitarist and vocalist in local band.
Impressed
So I emailed Paul at Sweetwater and told him to send me one. I spent about an hour on it in my music room and was very pleased. If you are all familiar with digital consoles it won't be hard for you to figure out. I wish I had bought this a year ago. I haven't used the WiFi feature so I cannot comment about that, but direct Ethernet is great.
Great mixer for live bands on the go

Yes. There's nothing super fancy about the UI16. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the Mackie does. But it does work great, is fairly easy to learn, and is reliable. Those are the 3 most important things to me. That and it's light and small cause I'm an old greasy drummer.

If you have a 3,4 or 5 piece dad band or whatever and want a mixer for playing live that just simply does what it says it will do. This is the mixer for you.

Each channel has a good EQ section (with presets for nimrods like me). Has it's own compressor, has it's own reverb/delay/chorus, and then of course monitor sends etc.

You run it off of an Ipad or similar and once you get a sound check going you can walk around holding the ipad and checking everything. This is one of my favorite features. My bass player and I are both drummers. I can set up the PA, and then have him play my drum kit while I'm out front with my ipad listening and all that. I don't even own a stage snake anymore.


All that to tell you this. If you're looking for a mixer, and you're an average rock band or whatever that you can get by with 16 inputs buy this mixer. Quit looking at the mackie and behringer and QSC, buy this one.

Excellent Mixer, one drawback
This is an excellent mixer. Very easy to use, great sound quality and features. Super flexible routing and tons of processing options as well.

If you set it up right it can even function as a live click/backing track player!

The build quality is also much better than I expected. In the photos it looks sort of cheap but IRL it's got some heft and feels solid as a rock.

My only gripe (and it's a common one) is that the built in wifi is not reliable at all, however, the unit has many connectivity options, so we bought a cheap router and hooked it up to the mixer and now everything is hunky dory.

Incredible value. Buy this thing!
Music background: Serious Musician
Amazing Mixer
Got mine in today and installed it. Very simple to install and operate. Sounds amazing.
