KORG MW-1608-NW 16-channel analog-digital hybrid mixer
High sound quality and easy-to-use mixer for everyone.
KORG worked with mixer design legends Greg Mackie and Peter Watts to create a hybrid/analog mini-console that makes creative mixing accessible to everyone.
It can respond quickly to problems in live mixing and has amazingly high sound quality. We aimed to create a console that is easier to use than any other mixer with its fast-response analog controls.
Hybrid analog/digital design by mixer development legends Greg Mackie and Peter Watts
Practical design structure and ingenious features that even beginners can easily operate.
HiVolt mic preamps designed by Peter Watts with the most headroom of any mic preamp in its price range.
PHONE function, in response to feedback from the field, allows the monitor volume to be adjusted without changing the balance of the auxes or main mix.
Mute group function allows you to create input combinations to suit your scene.
True 8-bus configuration is ideal for recording, live mixing, and cueing in churches and theaters.
Sophisticated studio-grade compressors by Peter Watts on all mic channels.
Very convenient best-in-class feedback control system, XLR outputs, 31-band spectrum analyzer and advanced Break system.
32-bit digital effects by electronic instrument manufacturer KORG. Ten parameters can be called up at once.
Premium components including Velvet SoundA / D and D / A converters, smooth-operating and long-lasting ALPS faders and rotary controls.
At first glance, Sound Link looks like a traditional 16-channel mixer, but when you use it, you will find that it has many innovative features and ideas that do not exist in other mixers. Greg Mackie has been mixing for over 40 years in addition to designing mixers, and the SoundLink is packed with ideas from his years of experience.
The new HiVolt mic preamps deliver "low noise, high headroom" sound.
Peter Watts played a key role in the development of Trident. Peter Watts played a key role in the development of Trident. He built into SoundLink the same quality, warm preamps, EQ, and dynamics as Trident, with HiVolt mic preamps producing the most headroom and warm, musical sound of any analog or digital mixer in its price range.
Designed with the musician in mind.
It is the only small mixer with mute groups. Four group options are available, each with easy program recall. The only mixer of its kind in the world.
The One and Only Mixer
Many musicians want to hear more of their instruments and voices in their monitors, and SoundLink's PHONE function allows musicians to boost the tracks they want to hear with the touch of a knob. Instead of changing the main mix settings or using the bus, turn the "Phones level" knob dedicated to the monitor mix.
