General

The Korg SoundLink MW-1608 is built according to the legendary design specifications set by Greg Mackie and Peter Watts, resulting here in a 16-channel hybrid mixing desk equipped with a preamp, DSP, compressor, gates and functionality to make the lives of musicians a little easier. With it, you can enjoy the gigantic amount of headroom the studio-grade HiVolt microphone preamplifiers create compared to other, similarly-priced mixers. You might have heard of the "White Album", "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" or Rihanna records like "Rated R" and "Loud". These, and literally hundreds of other famous albums were made using the same legendary Trident Technology the SoundLink MW-1608 features. Moreover, this hybrid mixer is packed with a comprehensive 31-band EQ, Mute Groups, individual monitor outputs and a collection of digital effects.

By Musicians, For Musicians

The Mute Groups offer the possibility to summon different groups to the stage and come in handy when there are multiple bands ready to perform different songs, sound checks, acoustic solos or drum solos. For musicians who want to monitor their own instruments via an in-ear or floor monitor, Korg included the Musician's Phone feature: a 1-button boost for the left/right mix that doesn't require you to change the AUX or main mix and spares the busses. Lastly, the menu can be accessed to navigate the DSP settings, 24 Korg FX, protection functions like the Limiter, Compressor and Noise Gate, as well as the 31-band/9-band ParaGraphic EQ.
