X Air XR16 : A little star

Replaced my years old and failing Yamaha EMS 5000-12 with this unit and am heartily impressed.

Such a small form factor with so many tools on board.

Being able to set up different mixers for different shows on the App is ideal.

The unit itself is a tough little box, I have flight cased it myself, but only because I like my toys to stay shiny. The rubber bumpers that come preinstalled, are more than adequate to keep the stage box in order.

Sound is crisp and clear, and matched with the Turbosound iP1000's is resonant and rich as well.

Everything seems sturdily built and the on board effects unit is ideal, not only for vocals, but for a variety of DI instruments as well.

I am more than impressed with the XR16 and would heartily recommend it to anyone wanting a 16 channel stage box/digital mixer.

Maybe another 2 Aux outs would have been useful as would full 16 channel recording instead of just stereo. But these are available on the bigger models I guess, they just weren't within my budget this time.

Everything else gets 5 stars from me, and you can even get feedback destroyers on the third party mixer app available!!
