Behringer RX1602 V2 16-Input Rackmount Ultra-Low Noise Line Mixer

Behringer RX1602 V2 Rackmount 16-Input Ultra-Low Noise Line Mixer

The Behringer RX1602 V2 Rackmount Line Mixer is a professional-grade, multi-purpose 16-input line mixer engineered for sub-mixing, multi-track monitoring, and level translation in studio and live rack environments. Featuring an Ultra-Low Noise (ULN) design with 16 balanced high-headroom line inputs, the RX1602 V2 delivers ultra-transparent audio with maximum dynamic range — handling everything from signal routing to effects management in a single rack space.

For engineers searching for the best rackmount line mixer for home studio or live sound applications, the RX1602 V2 offers exceptional routing flexibility. Each of its eight sections can operate independently as a stereo or mono input pair, and per-channel +4dBu/-10dBV level selection makes it an ideal 16-input balanced line mixer for integrating both professional and consumer-level gear in the same signal chain. A dedicated Monitor/FX Send control per section — combined with a global master send — enables streamlined headphone monitoring, effects routing, and multi-track recording workflows without additional hardware.

Built for long-term reliability in demanding professional environments, the RX1602 V2 features high-quality detented rotary controls that hold position accurately over years of use. Highly accurate 2 x 7-segment LED level meters with independent left/right control give engineers precise visual feedback on the main mix signal. An internal switch-mode power supply (100–240V) eliminates transformer hum and ensures consistent, noise-free audio performance across international touring and installation applications.
