Head of the class

Yamaha has always strived to provide sound engineers with
the purest possible signal instead of added processing or color to give
it a “signature” sound, and the MG Series is no exception. Embracing
this philosophy of transparent sound, these mixing consoles deliver a
level of sonic purity and sound quality that is unmatched in their
class.

D-PRE?(Discrete Class-A Mic Preamps)

This is where it all starts. Everything you do as a sound
engineer is dependent on the quality of your preamps, which determines
the direction your mix will take, and ultimately how good it is going to
sound. MG Series mixing consoles feature Yamaha’s studio-grade discrete
class-A D-PRE preamps, which utilize an inverted Darlington circuit
comprising two cascading transistors in a configuration that provides
more power with lower impedance. Delivering fat, natural sounding bass
and smooth, soaring highs, with very low distortion, D-PRE preamps
possess an impressively wide frequency range that allow them to handle
signal from any audio source without overly amplifying any specific
elements of the sound. Having such a pure sonic platform to build on
will ultimately save you time and effort by eliminating the need for
excessive EQing or additional effects processing in order to “fix” your
mix.

High Quality Sound Op-amp

The head amp determines sound quality, and op-amp
integrated circuits are one of the most important parts in the head amp
circuit. MG Series mixers feature new, high-quality, custommade MG01
op-amps that we developed in cooperation with the semiconductor
manufacturer. Although many other Op-amps prioritize electrical design
and efficiency, we worked directly with the semiconductor manufacturer
to focus on sound quality first. MG01 op-amps feature redesigned
circuitry in which even the internal components and wiring have been
optimized, and use materials such as high-quality silicon wafers and
copper wire to achieve superb resolution.

Switchable Phantom Power & PAD Switch

With phantom power, MG Series consoles allow you to take
full advantage of the greater frequency response and high sound quality
of condenser microphones. The input channel with PAD switch accepts MIC
to line level of inputs, PAD Switch attenuates high input signals that
often accompany mic’ed instruments during performance, avoiding the
clippingthat can seriously affect your mix.

Our mixer. Your sound.

When was the last time you heard guitar without EQ or a
completely unprocessed vocal on one of your favorite songs? Probably
never. Yamaha mixers are famous for their flat response and sonic
purity, but it often takes more than a perfectly-captured instrumental
performance or vocal to achieve a professional-sounding mix. Equipped
with some of the same state-of-the-art functionality featured on
Yamaha’s high-end consoles, the MG Series gives you the tools you need
to produce high quality sound that is uniquely your own.

1-knob Compressors

Compression plays an essential role in just about any
recording or sound reinforcement environment by altering the level of
dynamics of an audio signal when you need livelier guitars, punchier
bass lines, a tighter snare, or a cleaner vocal sound. However, it can
take countless hours to master the complexities of even the most basic
outboard compression units and use them effectively. Originally a Yamaha
innovation, 1-knob compressors are now an industry standard that gives
you instant access to optimized compression settings via a single rotary
control.

EQ and High-pass Filters

There’s nothing more useful than reliable equalization
when you need nuanced management of your tone. The MG Series benefits
from Yamaha’s unparalleled experience in designing pro audio gear,
featuring 3-band equalizers on all mono channels for precise control of
your sound. High-pass filter allows you to eliminate unwanted
low-frequency noise, for a smoother, cleaner mix.

AUX / Effect Sends / Group

MG Series mixers feature up to four AUX sends for
expanding your sound reinforcement or recording setup, allowing you to
incorporate additional effects, output to external recording devices, or
feed to an monitoring system. Master send controls are also provided.
The MG06 / 06X and MG10 / 10XU have a single stereo bus. All other
models additionally feature one or two stereo group buses and outputs
that can be used for convenient channel grouping. Assign switches for
the stereo and group buses are located next to each channel fader.

A variety of input / output connectors
