Key Info
Peter Watts-Designed HiVolt Mic Preamps
With its new HiVolt microphone preamps, the Korg SoundLink MW 1608 mixer delivers the "low noise, high headroom" that many other mixers promise but don't deliver.
Based on the Trident mixing console, co-created by Peter Watts and heard on "The White Album," "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," and Rhianna's "Rated R" and many other acclaimed albums, the HiVolt mic preamps bring you that same rich, warm sound.
Furthermore, the HiVolt microphone preamps give you more headroom than any other analogue or digital mixer in this price range.
Designed By Musicians
Several practical features on the Korg SoundLink MW 1608 give away the fact it was designed by gigging musicians.
One great example is the MW 1608 Mixer's "Mute Groups." The only smaller mixer to feature Mute Groups, the SoundLink MW 1608 allows you to instantly call up different combinations of channels for different groups on stage, different songs, sound checks, solo acoustic performances and more.
You have four Group options available to you and each one can be easily programmed and recalled whenever you need.
Often, musicians will want to hear more of themselves through their monitor and that can be quite complicated to provide on some mixers.
Thanks to the SoundLink's Musician's Phone feature, you have one-knob boost of the complete left/right mix into the performer's individual track.
So, instead of having to change the settings of the main mix or use up a bus, you have dedicated knobs for two musicians' "more me" monitor mixes - a feature that is exclusive to SoundLink mixers.
Incredible Effects and Studio-Grade DSP
While many other mixers use generic digital effects, the Korg SoundLink MW 1608 features a high-quality, proprietary Korg custom chip.
With this chip installed, the SoundLink MW1608 gives you a wide range of ultra-realistic, 32-bit digital effects.
Furthermore, you can adjust the parameters for all effects, save and recall them. They can even be activated by an optional footswitch.
You also get test tone generators which you can use with the built-in 24-band Spectrum Analyser, another feature that's exclusive to SoundLink mixers in this price range.
Rack-mount, studio-grade DSP is easily accessible too - no scrolling through long menus within menus.
All the processing and effects you need are right there without any long-winded navigation and each one can be tweaked an recalled.
Powerful Music Software Included
When you buy the Korg SoundLink MW 1608 mixer, you also get a free download of iZotope RX 7 Elements.
This software features essential tools for removing noise, clipping and clicks from your recordings making it a fantastic bit of software for your studio.
