Our take
History & design
The Yamaha MGX16 was unveiled at NAMM in January 2026. In a compact tabletop format (41.9 cm, 4.7 kg), it is a 96 kHz digital console: 8 mono channels, 4 stereo, a Sound Pad channel and 2 effect returns, to 8 MIX buses, a stereo bus, 2 FX buses and a CUE bus. I/O comprises 8 mic/line combo inputs, 4 TRS inputs, 4 RCA inputs, 2 XLR outputs, 8 TRS outputs and 4 headphone outputs. The surface carries 16 non-motorized 60 mm faders, a 4.3-inch touchscreen, 5 encoders and 8 pads.
Processing borrows building blocks from the pro ranges: Sweet Spot Morphing, Guitar Amp Classics, Pitch Fix, REV-X reverb, multiband compressor and ducker. The USB-C MAIN port works as a 22x22 interface at 96 kHz, the microSD card records 16 tracks and the Bluetooth input takes a player. The MGX16V adds an HDMI input and passthrough: it captures video up to 4K at 60 fps and sends it over USB with the mix audio, for streaming. It weighs 4.9 kg. Both models come in a black or white finish, and an RK-MGX16 rack kit is available. Cubase AI and WaveLab Cast are bundled.
