Soundcraft Ui16 5-stars Reviews

All in one.

Small versatile, with perfect sound quality.

Enough for small band or rehearsals.

Only down side is that this class of units does not have side channel on compressor with filter.

Great exept the built- in router

This small factor digital mixer is excellent for smal to medium venues, because it irradicates the need for bulky multicore cables and positioning of the desk.

I would love it even more if it had a version with 16 xlr inputs, but 12 is plenty enough.

The app (webpage) is fairly intuative and I needed very little time to get used to it.

The only bad pont is the integrated wifi router wich kept loosing connection repetedly and kicking me off the network rendering the ui usless till the next reboot. The problem was solved with an external dual- band Linksys router and after that the Ui is a joy to use.

I have personally adaed a small bluetooth audio reciever for audio playback as running a long jack cable to my computer or phone isn't practical as wll as storing every possible track on a USB stick to be used for playback on the internal usb player

Almost perfect!

Wonderfull mixer, with great features and a great sound!

The only thing I needed was to put a better antenna for wifi, it woul be nice if Soundcraft put a bigger antenna!

Changed our band's lives!

Have been thoroughly delighted with this - main use is for a busy corporate and wedding band. It's very intuitive and the fact it's so accessible (versus other similar products which require an app to be installed) was the deciding factor for me. Love the ability to save scenes - often we have very short setup time so the ability to store our gains and a rough mix makes a huge difference in setup time. I also like the fact you can record the gig on USB - we listen back in the van on the way home which has allowed us to fix mistakes which crept in with our vocal harmonies. I bought a material rack case for this but have just upgraded to a solid one. Massive features from a tiny box!

Very satisfied

I use this mixer for a live band, and so far I found it very intuitive, good preamps, didn't have problems with the integrated wifi connectivity. Could've used a 16 or 18 xlr input model but this will have to do for now. I reccomend this for anyone looking for portability, ease of use and intuitive software.

Fantastic

Bought this to use with my Three Piece cover band. Works an absolute treat. Great features and sound quality for such a small price. Was able to replace a large 22 channel desk and fx rack for this one small stage box which leaves more room on stage. Had some issues with the WiFi at first but with a firmware update these were resolved. Would highly recommend this desk.

I LOVE THIS...

What an awesome bit of kit, I can't find a crap thing to say about it. The stuff it can do, and the ease of use..and I'm sure I'm only scratching the surface up to now. Its well built, rugged, and good looking...It's me with built in WiFi.

In all seriousness..it is very easy to unpack and get going with straight out the box. No apps required. It's got a very user friendly interface and some great preset modes to get you going. I love the USB playback and recording facility. Couldn't find a demo on setting up a playlist but soon figured it out.

I've now got it fitted in an 8U desktop case with my 2 radio mic recievers for an easy plug and go setup...just 2 xlr outs for my MAUI 28s and I'm up and running. Set up time has been reduced, as has the amount of gear I'm lugging about.

10/10 Soundcraft, well done

Excellent

Compact little mixer, with impressive features for its size and weight. This cost me pretty much the same as the MFX12 I bought several years ago, but has far more packed into it. The interface is very much like an analogue desk. No complex patching to be done, no need to understand complex digital layouts, simple routing options and easy to get to grips with. It is perhaps a little slower to navigate around than a physical desk, but this comes with practice. The interface is swift, and the reaction time is undetectable. Highly recommended!! For true small format situations where a large desk is just not necessary - this is perfect, but has the flexibility and on board features to be used in some fairly large situations!

I used this in earnest at a small event for the end of year for a local nursery. I had three or four inputs including a mic, video playback, background music and sound effects. Whilst nothing overly complex was required, the setup was about 5 minutes (including running cables) all made simpler by use of the desk. Also, as the venue was so small, I was able to be out of the way, but still in a prime mixing position, without the need for excessive cable runs.
