MQ1642X

16-channel compact mixer with FX , USB and BT

Compact Design. Professional Performance

The MQ Series from PROEL has been crafted to deliver high input density, professional-grade features, and exceptional audio quality in an ultra-compact, elegantly designed format — all at a remarkably competitive price. Engineered with Italian precision by the PROEL R&D team, MQ mixers represent the ideal choice for musicians, performers, and sound engineers seeking reliability, versatility, and premium performance in any sound reinforcement setup.

The Next Generation: MQ X

Taking the MQ concept to the next level, the new MQ X models introduce advanced digital processing and seamless connectivity.

A high-definition 24-bit DSP offers 99 studio-quality effects with adjustable parameters, easily managed through an intuitive LED display.

The integrated MP3 module allows flexible media playback via Bluetooth, USB KEY (USB-A), or PC connection (USB-C) — while the USB audio interface lets you record your mix directly to your computer with ease.

MQ1642X features 16 total inputs with 12 mic preamps, delivering superior input capacity and sonic clarity. Mono channels include sweepable mid EQs and one-knob intelligent compressors for advanced tonal shaping. With 4 AUX sends, 2 stereo group buses, and 60 mm professional faders, the MQ1642X provides full control, versatility, and a refined mixing experience tailored for complex live performances.

Built to Perform

Housed in ultra-rugged enclosures, MQ X mixers are engineered for long-term durability and stage-ready reliability. For added convenience, optional padded carrying bags and 19” rack-mounting kits are available — making the MQ Series a perfect companion both on the road and in fixed installations.
