DAP GIG-163 V2 16-channel analogue mixer with FX

The DAP GIG-163 V2 is a compact yet capable 16-channel mixer designed for live performances, studio sessions and hybrid setups. It offers a wide range of inputs, routing options, professional features and onboard effects, making it ideal for musicians, sound engineers and content creators who demand flexibility without compromising on sound quality.
It features 10 XLR/jack combo inputs with a mic preamp, -20 dB pad switch, 48 V phantom power, and low-cut filter. Channel 10 includes a Hi-Z switch, allowing direct connection of instruments such as electric guitars. All ten mono channels offer gain control, compressor, 3-band EQ, FX and AUX send knobs, pan control, mix level fader, and clip LED indicators. Channels 11-16 provide stereo line-level inputs via dual 6.3 mm jacks, each with gain control, 3-band EQ, FX and AUX send level, pan control and mix level fader. Additional inputs include a 3.5 mm Aux minijack, a USB media player and BT connectivity, which all share a level knob.
The internal effects engine provides a selection of 24 effects, including reverbs, delays and modulations that can be applied to all channels except the 3.5 mm minijack input, BT input and USB media player. For external processing, an FX Sends output allows routing to outboard gear, with the option to loop the processed signal back into an unused channel. This output can also serve as a monitor send bus, offering additional flexibility. A dedicated Aux bus is available for creating custom monitor mixes, while a stereo subgroup with its own fader and output enables grouped control and parallel processing. All channels except the minijack and USB media player can be routed to this subgroup. For studio use, a control room output with separate level control runs in parallel to the headphone output.
The USB-C interface allows direct connection to a computer for recording or playback, the latter is shared with channels 15 and 16. The main output is available via balanced XLR and jack connectors, and is also offered as a mono sum with separate level control. A clear LED VU meter provides visual feedback of output levels, and the mixer is powered by a dedicated ±15V DC external power supply for stable operation.
