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

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.
Rated 4.5/5

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!

Love this little guy!!!

Bought this for me and my wife's duo acoustic gigs and have now used it on four shows and it has worked flawlessly. Got the 12 channel one cause we sometimes have guest sit in with us. Preamps sound great, love the layout and navigation of the software interface, FX sound good - definitely good enough for live. So far just using the built in wifi and have had zero issues but mostly leave the Ipad sitting on top of the rack its in. We have a PreSonus 32R we use for our band and I think I actually like the Soundcraft Ui better. It in a Gator 4 space rack with a basic power strip weighs hardly nothing - light as feather and that I really, really, really love!
Music background: 35 years playing guitar & performing - some pro touring, 35 years live sound and studio engineering.

Amazing functionality for the price

As a disclaimer I have only just got the unit out of the box and played with it for about 30 minutes but I am completely blown away by all of the functionality of this little powerhouse. I started on digital mixers at our large auditorium church setting back in the day on a Midas X32 and have moved since then to using an Allen+Heath Avantis deck and an Allen+Heath dLive. This inexpensive little unit has much of the functionality of those decks that are many thousands of dollars more expensive. It was very easy to set up and connect through the Wifi, open the browser, and start playing around. The unit I bought from Sweetwater was a demo unit but you couldn't tell any signs of that pulling it out of the box and plastic. It sounds and operates just like new. And my CS rep Logan was great in following up and answering questions. The one thing that surprised me that I had not seen in any videos or reviews was that you can save your settings in scenes. Should be very helpful. I will probably take the advice I had seen on several reviews and get an external wireless router to connect through just to have a stronger signal and better stability. Looking forward to getting out and using this mixer in a live setting.
