* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Ui16 is a seriously clever mixer for smaller bands, solo artists, and podcasters needing remote control and a decent sound. The tablet interface is a game-changer for quick adjustments during a gig, and the integrated effects are surprisingly good for a mixer in this class. It's a solid, compact solution for mobile setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
