🎛️ Yamaha MG16 Mixer: Core of Your Audio Routing

The MG16 is a 16-channel analog mixer offering:

• 10 mic inputs with Yamaha’s D-PRE Class-A preamps for clean, transparent sound

• 4 AUX sends including one for FX, useful for routing to DSP or external processors

• 1-knob compressors on mono channels for quick dynamic control

• Balanced XLR outputs for clean signal delivery to amplifiers or DSP units

If you're using the MG16XU variant, it includes SPX digital effects like reverb and delay, which can be adjusted via the FX knobs and return fader.

🎤 Audio-Technica Wireless Microphones: Flexible Input

Pairing with ATW-series wireless mics (e.g., ATW-1322 or ATW-1423 systems) gives you:

• Digital transmission for low-latency, interference-resistant audio

• Handheld and lavalier options for versatile use cases

• 328 ft range for mobility in large venues

These mics connect via XLR to the MG16, and you can assign them to channels with compression and EQ as needed.

🧠 DSP Integration: Precision Audio Shaping

Adding a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) between the mixer and amplifier allows:

• EQ tuning for room acoustics

• Feedback suppression for live mic use

• Delay alignment for speaker placement

• Limiter/compressor for protecting speakers and maintaining clarity

DSP units can be rack-mounted or built into powered speakers or amplifiers. If you're using Yamaha’s DCP or MTX series, they integrate well with MG mixers and offer remote control via touch panels—right up your alley.

🔊 Yamaha Amplifiers: Power & Reliability

Yamaha’s PX Series amplifiers are a solid match:

• Class-D efficiency with intelligent DSP built-in

• Preset configurations for Yamaha speakers

• Flexible I/O for stereo or bridged setups

These amps can receive signal directly from the mixer or DSP and drive passive speakers with precision.
