HH Audio Q16FX 16-Channel Analog Mixer with Effects

HH Audio Q16FX 16-Channel Analog Mixer with Effects and USB

The HH Audio Q16FX 16-Channel Analog Mixer delivers the input capacity, hands-on control, built-in effects, and flexible routing needed for live performances, rehearsals, recording, podcasting, houses of worship, schools, and event production. Designed and engineered in the UK, this versatile analog mixing console combines low-noise microphone preamps, one-knob compression, 3-band channel EQ, dual subgroups, a 9-band graphic EQ, and a 2-in/2-out USB audio interface in a rugged, portable chassis.

With 10 microphone inputs and multiple mono and stereo line-level connections, the Q16FX can accommodate vocal microphones, acoustic and electronic instruments, keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, computers, media players, and other audio sources. Channels 1 through 8 include simple one-knob compressors, allowing you to control vocal and instrument dynamics without complicated setup.

Flexible 16-Channel Input Configuration

The HH Audio Q16FX gives musicians and sound engineers plenty of connectivity for larger live and recording setups. Its input section includes mono microphone and line channels along with stereo channels for keyboards, playback devices, and other stereo equipment.

• 10 XLR microphone inputs with low-noise microphone preamps
• 8 mono 1/4-inch line inputs on channels 1 through 8
• 2 stereo microphone/line input channels covering channels 9 through 12
• 2 additional stereo line input channels covering channels 13 through 16
• Global phantom power for compatible condenser microphones and active direct boxes

One-Knob Compression on Channels 1–8

Channels 1 through 8 feature an easy-to-use, single-knob compressor. This helps smooth out uneven vocal levels, control instrument peaks, and improve mix consistency without requiring an external dynamics processor. Simply turn the compressor control to increase the amount of dynamic control applied to the channel.

3-Band Channel EQ and 75 Hz Low-Cut Filter

Each channel includes a musical 3-band equalizer for shaping individual sources. Adjust low, midrange, and high frequencies to improve clarity, reduce muddiness, add presence, or help each instrument sit properly in the mix.

• High EQ: 12 kHz
• Mid EQ: 2.5 kHz
• Low EQ: 100 Hz
• EQ adjustment range: ±15 dB
• 75 Hz low-cut filter on channels 1 through 12

The low-cut filter helps reduce stage rumble, handling noise, excessive proximity effect, and other unwanted low-frequency energy from microphones and instruments.

16 Built-In DSP Effects

Add depth and polish to vocals, instruments, and complete mixes using the Q16FX’s integrated digital effects processor. Choose from 16 DSP effects, including a selection of reverbs, delays, and echoes. The onboard effects eliminate the need to transport and connect a separate external effects processor for many common live-sound applications.

9-Band Graphic EQ with Feedback Detection

A built-in 9-band graphic equalizer provides additional control over the overall sound of the main mix. Use it to compensate for room acoustics, improve system balance, and reduce troublesome frequencies. Integrated feedback detection helps identify frequencies that may be contributing to feedback, making system adjustment faster and easier during setup or performance.

Two Subgroups and Two Auxiliary Sends

The Q16FX includes two subgroups, allowing related channels to be controlled together. Group several drum microphones, backing vocals, instruments, or presentation microphones and adjust their combined level using a single subgroup control.

Two auxiliary sends provide additional routing flexibility for stage monitors, external processors, recording feeds, or other audio destinations.

2-In/2-Out USB Audio Interface

Connect the Q16FX to a compatible computer using USB for straightforward recording and playback. The integrated 2-in/2-out USB audio interface makes the mixer a practical choice for recording live performances, rehearsals, podcasts, streaming productions, and music projects.

USB playback can also be incorporated into the mix for backing tracks, break music, presentations, and other computer-based audio.
