Providing the unprecedented ability to mix audio from any WiFi connected device in any location, Harman’s Soundcraft introduces the new Ui series of remote-controlled digital mixers. The Ui12 and Ui16 each feature an integrated, on-board WiFi router and can be controlled via a tablet, PC or smartphone.

The Ui series mixers feature cross-platform compatibility with iOS, Android, Windows, Mac OS, and Linux devices and can use up to 10 control devices concurrently. In addition, the Ui12 and Ui16 each feature built in Harman signal processing from dbx, DigiTech and Lexicon, including dbx AFS2, DigiTech Amp Modelling and more. Both these models feature fully recallable and remote controlled mic gain and phantom power, along with 4-band parametric EQ, high-pass filter, compressor, de-esser and noise gate on input channels.

The pair offers 31 band graphic EQ, noise gate and compressor on all outputs, plus real-time frequency analyser (RTA) on inputs and outputs. Built in are three dedicated Lexicon FX busses: Reverb, Delay and Chorus. In addition, mixer controls include Subgroups, Mute groups and View groups, among others. The Ui series mixers feature full show, snapshot recallability with channel recall safes. The security lockout features allow customisation of device access to specific functions and mixes if needed. Both mixers also offer independent network interfaces on board for simultaneous control by WiFi and Ethernet, plus a floor-ready rugged chassis for live applications.

The Ui12 also features four XLR combo mic/line inputs, four XLR mic inputs, two channels of Hi-Z/instrument inputs, as well as a stereo RCA line input. A two-channel USB media player is included, along with two balanced XLR Aux outputs, two quarter-inch headphone outputs with level control, plus balanced stereo XLR and quarter-inch main outputs. The two-channel USB audio playback is compatible with MP3, WAV and AIFF formats.

The Ui16 boasts eight XLR combo mic/line inputs, four XLR mic inputs, two channels of Hi-Z/instrument inputs, as well as a stereo RCA line input. A two-channel USB media player is included, along with four balanced XLR Aux outputs, two quarter-inch headphone outputs with level control, plus balanced stereo XLR and quarter-inch main outputs.

The two-channel USB audio playback is compatible with MP3, WAV and AIFF formats, and two-channel USB Record direct-to-memory devices functionality is possible as well. The Ui16 also has an HDMI display connection output.
