MQ16USB

16-channel compact mixer with FX and USB

MQ is a series of mixers created by PROEL to offer in a very compact and stylish package a high input density, a full set of features and a superior audio quality, at a very convenient price point. The MQ series includes 5 models with 6, 10, 12 and 16 inputs, able to satisfy most of the sound reinforcement applications. Carefully designed and engineered in Italy by PROEL R&D, MQ mixers are hosted in ultra-rugged cases, providing extended durability for a stage-proof use.

The smallest models of the series, MQ6 and MQ6FX, offer in an ultra-compact format the performance of professional consoles, delivering a clean and accurate sound. The MQ6FX, despite its small size, includes a high-quality 24-bit DSP able to provide musicians and performers with studio-grade effects.

MQ10FX, together with 3-band EQ and one-knob intelligent COMPRESSORS, offers also 100 DSP presets with a convenient LED display for the selection.

MQ12USB additional features include an USB audio I/O interface and extended mixing capability with MONITOR send, STEREO GROUP bus and 45mm control faders.

The top-of-the-line MQ16USB feature 16 inputs and 12 microphone channels together with sweep mids and one-knob intelligent COMPRESSORS on mono channels, 4 AUX sends, STEREO GROUP bus and 60mm control faders.

Optional padded carrying bags and metal brackets for 19” rack mounting are available for selected models.
