Product Review I do sound for my girlfriend, her and I both love it. We have been using the X Air and I highly recommend this rack over the X Air. The graphic EQ is real precise when it comes to feedback. I love it

Digital mixing at a low cost

Product Review This unit is really something. This is my first digital mixer, and it has exceeded all expectations. I use this for my 5 piece band and it works great. It is intuitive, easy to use, and extremely responsive. The only reason it lost a star is because its built in WIFI is terrible, and I needed to purchase an external router to keep a connection stable at any gig, and they market it as a 16 input mixer, when in all actuality, it really only has 12 XLR inputs. I know that is common across all models, but I think it is just shady marketing.

Product Review We were looking for something solid that gave us control over our IEM systems. Being that we all use different ones this has been AMAZING on stage with us. Each member is able to adjust their own mix that suits them for each show not to mention this is all done via WiFi. We also use a snake splitter with this unit giving the band and the sound person full control without effecting each others mix. If you have not picked this up for your band, I highly recommend researching this mixer!!

Product Review or as deep as you want to go. Initial set-up and operation is extremely easy but, if you want to get into heavy duty signal processing it is there as well. This is a very well done product and a great reply to other manufacturers who charge over twice as much.

Product Review This unit is by far the easiest mixer I have ever used. It is perfect for a small working band. It has all the features you need to polish your live sound. The customer support is outstanding. The online tutorials are well made and easy to understand. For a band or act on a budget, I don't think you can beat the ui16. If you have a few extra dollars to spend though, the ui24 has a few more recording features.

Product Review As for a product review, I would say that the only negative was that the range and signal strength seemed problematic. It was very easy to set up and I got a great mix on the very first try for my 9 input drum set up for a live gig. AMS sent it out quickly and I love the payment plan option. I will start to remedy the signal and rang with a larger antenna and if that doesn't work I'll expand to a dedicated router.

Product Review Having used this mixer for ourdoor and indoor purposes my opinion is that the only thing that would be better would be a 24 channel ui.... which they now have. I have to give Soundcraft kudos for having the foresight to make this compatible with android AND apple! Small bands.... you deserve a mixer like this to do your music justice! Couple this with BLUE Encore mics and winner winner chicken dinner. The dbs, lexicon and eq gear saves you thousands and are easy to use.

Product Review After reading many negative reviews about connecting issues I decided to try this unit anyway and just use it hardwired. Loved the options, flexibility, and complete channel control it had and it worked great, for a few days, then sound problems started to present themselves. Would lose sound out of the mains which required a reboot to resolve, then amp modeling issues. Reluctantly returned to AMS without any hassle. I'll wait a little longer to jump onto the digital 'bandwagon' until the bugs are worked out.

Product Review The first one that was sent to me was glitchy. American music supply was fantastic with the return. Because of the first one and I'll get Uber paranoid if my iPad lose the signal. I'm a karaoke host and it really has made a difference. It's nice to be able to move around the room and sweeten up a singer sound. I will never hesitate buying something from American music supply. The customer service is amazing.

Product Review It's a pretty good unit with an aftermarket Wi-Fi antenna my signal went from 2 to 4 bars. The setup is quite easy. Make sure you change your passwords people sit in bars and tried to gain access to mixers. Each Channel having specific presets all ready to go by dbx is great. I like the 4 outputs for monitors, each person having their own mix. I like the effects channels they sound great. This is a great unit for the money strongly recommend it.

Product Review I haven't given 5 stars just because I haven't used it extensively yet. So far I have played with routing signals, effects, auxes, Digitech effects on the hiZ channels. I am using a Microsoft Surface Pro 2, using google chrome to control via web interface. I have been able to set up several view groups, use all the mute groups, sub groups, etc, all quite easy to set up, but not without reading the manual extensively. This is not an issue, per say, its just something that you will have to do. Analog mixers are laid out right there in front of you, where this thing has many "layers". If you're used to the digital mixing platform, then you should be right at home. I have gotten this mixer to introduce myself to digital mixing, and so far it's amazing. LOTS of flexibility to this format. As for the people that complained about its connectivity issues, that must have been early firmware related. It's working like a champion.

Product Review It's really good for small gigs and speaking engagements. I probably wouldn't use it in a serious show but I do love it. The antenna is very cheap. It broke as soon as I took the unit out of the box. I assume it can be replaced fairly easily. Make sure you upgrade the software. Until I upgraded the software, I couldn't work the mixer from more than 2 feet away with my iPad. Once I upgraded the software, I could go more than 100 feet away. I still haven't found the distance limitations yet. Again, I love it (overall).

Product Review This mixer is great. I've read all the complaints online, so I put it to the test. So far, the wifi works great. I put a usb Ethernet adapter in the gig bag in case of wifi drop outs, but I haven't needed it so far. The manual isn't very clear about some features and even the YouTube tutorials don't cover everything, so expect to do some trial and error on some features. One example is using the headphone outs as aux 5 and 6. Since the jacks are stereo, a mono cable must be inserted all the way for aux 5 and one notch out for aux 6.....or you could use special stereo to mono cables or adapters. The sound is crystal clear. The interface is very simple and intuitive. My drummer was mixing his monitors right away with no help or previous experience with any kind of mixer. Just make sure to use the access limiters on devices intended only for mixing auxes, otherwise the main mix could be changed accidentally if you aren't paying close attention.

Product Review I had this unit for about a month before I decided to go with the Presonus. First let me say I was impressed with how easy it was to get started. But I disappointed with the WiFi. It would drop out more than once during a gig. Luckily it came back rather fast. The sound quality was great. I could never get the Tap Delay FX to ever work correctly. No info to correct this could be found. I really liked the fact of recording to a flash drive. Simple and easy. FYI: IT DOES NOT WORK WELL WITH INTERNET EXPLORER IN WINDOWS 10! I used Google Chrome. I would have preferred more inputs answer Aux sends but that would have raised the price. Overall simple to navigate. I just out grew it!

Good, but Not Reliable

Product Review An otherwise great product that is let down completely by unreliable network connectivity. On this type of mixer, the wifi connection should be the PRIMARY FUNCTION, not some sketchy, unreliable afterthought. I could never do A live gig with a mixer that is not 100% bullet-proof reliable, and the Ui16 doesn't even come close. It's a real shame because it could be very good if the network would stay connected. Unfortunately, I had to send mine back. I'm going to stick with my analog mixer for now and let someone else be the beta tester.

Amazing Sound and Convenience

Product Review I think the initial shipment of this product must have had some issues as I received a UI16 in early May 2015 that had wi-fi connection problems that I returned. I had to wait until mid June to get a replacement, but everything works wonderfully on this unit. The audio is pristine, amazing many who have heard this for the first time, with its excellent transparency. They even remarked that it sounded like we were in a studio. Connectivity is a breeze and I have a Win 7 laptop, Kindle Fire HD and several Android devices that sync right up and allow me to modify any parameter on the fly.I have created snapshots, saved them, powered down/up and recalled them without any issues. Effects, EQ, compression, amp models (on inputs 1 & 2), aux feeds, USB playback and so many more parameters are right at my fingertips to tweak at any time. Adding this to my rack saves me from having to haul a separate mixer, outboard gear, a guitar rig (should I desire to not use one), and CD player.

Small Band, Small Footprint

Product Review SoundCraft Ui16 mixer. I've waited three months to replace a much loved PreSonus 16.4.2 mixer. I wanted a rack mount, more portable mixer and the Ui16 really fit the bill with the Harmony extras! the main reason I down sized to this; the "Dbx AFS2" on the Aux outputs! But, to my disappointment, I cannot get the 4 Aux Output Balance connectors to output anything! "Aux 5 and 6" work through the quarter inch Headphone Jacks, so there's a work around. I hope this is just a "firmware" thing (or is it just me?) HELLO SoundCraft Engineers? Other than that; a great mixer for the price, to minimize your footprint at a small Venue! Just one more thing; if the PreSonus StudioLive RM16 had just one more processor (Feedback suppression) I wouldn't have to drag around the Dbx AFS2 Driverack, I would have gone with the PreSonus.

Product Review Ran mine through the paces the evening I received it. Powered it up, updated the firmware, connected and built a mix in about 20 minutes.., recalled the mix, made a ton of changes, saved it, powered off, cycled the power and recalled the mix...worked great! Used a PC, phone and a tablet to control it... Sonic quality is pure and quiet, chassis is solid... wifi was rock solid... Exceptional value.
