Why Buy a Used QSC TouchMix-16 Pro from Acoustrade?

When you buy used, condition is everything. Acoustrade sources mixers from reputable trade-ins, rental fleets, and venue upgrades. Each unit goes through a multi-point checklist:

  • Physical inspection – no cracked screens, missing knobs, or bent chassis.
  • Audio path testing – all inputs, outputs, and headphone jacks verified.
  • Touchscreen and Wi-Fi – responsiveness and connectivity confirmed.
  • Firmware update – latest stable version installed where possible.

We also stock a wide range of used amplifiers, speakers, line arrays, and microphones to complete your system. Buying from one supplier simplifies logistics and ensures compatibility.

What to Check Before You Buy

Even with a tested unit, it’s smart to confirm:

  • Does it include the original power supply? (The TouchMix-16 Pro uses a specific external PSU.)
  • Is the Wi-Fi antenna present? (It’s detachable and easily lost.)
  • Are there any known issues with the touchscreen? (Older units may have minor scratches.)
  • What’s the return policy and warranty? (Acoustrade offers a limited warranty on all used gear.)

Pricing and Availability

Used QSC TouchMix-16 Pro mixers typically sell for 30–50% less than new, depending on condition and accessories. Prices fluctuate with market supply, so it’s best to check our current inventory. We ship worldwide, and our team can help you choose the right mixer for your venue size and channel count.

If you’re an AV integrator, ask about bulk pricing for multiple units. We regularly supply system integrators with matched sets of mixers, amps, and speakers.
