Yamaha gear is reliable, sturdy, and ready to tackle performance demands day after day. To see and hear this in action on the live stage, look no further than the Yamaha MG lineup of analog mixers. These trusty consoles are used all over the place, running the show at coffee shops, bars, theaters, schools, houses of worship, and in spaces where easy, hassle-free audio management is needed. Touring bands and venues around the world use Yamaha MG mixers to run a straightforward setup that prioritizes a strong build, quality audio, and ease-of-use at a comfortable price.

The layout of the knobs, faders, jacks, and switches is familiar and comfortable. These are true plug-and-play mixers - connect your microphones, instruments, devices, speakers, and hardware and you’ll be ready to route signal to the proper destinations quickly. With a Yamaha MG, there are no unnecessary complications and massive learning curves, just a quality live sound management system that’s ready and waiting to perform. You don’t have to always be online, you don’t have to constantly adjust computer settings, and you won’t have to deal with a barrage of software updates. Even with their sturdy metal chassis, MG mixers are lightweight and easy to transport - the largest model in the lineup (the MG20XU) weighs in at just 15.7 pounds!

The Yamaha MG series includes their standard collection of mixers (MG6, MG10, MG12, MG16, MG20 – the number at the end represents the number of input channels on each mixer) as well as models with built-in digital effects and USB connectivity. For example, the MG6X is a 6-channel mixer with effects, while the MG12XU is a 12-channel mixer with both effects AND USB.

These mixers start with mono XLR-1/4” combo inputs, 1/4” stereo inputs, built-in switchable 48V phantom power on the mic-level inputs (for condenser mics and other devices that need this type of power), and adjustable EQ on each channel. As you move up to larger MG consoles, there will be more features – including RCA inputs for connecting consumer audio devices, a pan knob, additional levels of EQ control, a number of channels that come equipped with one-knob compressors, added monitor/group outputs, and up to four AUX sends (one of which is an FX AUX on the ‘XU’ models) that allow you to customize separate mixes for stage monitors and in-ear systems. This variety means that you can go from accommodating solo performers, bar trivia, and simple karaoke all the way up to larger bands and live theater productions – there is an exact Yamaha MG for your needs.

All of the mixers in the Yamaha MG lineup also include both a PAD and HPF switch on each mic input channel. These are important signal management tools that you don’t always find in other mixers at similar price points, especially the smallest models with just a few channels.

When engaged, the PAD switch reduces the input gain and prevents clipping from very hot input sources that can overload the built-in preamp. The HPF (high-pass filter) switch removes lower frequencies below 80hZ from the signal and lets everything above ‘pass through’ as normal. This is used to help brighten and sweeten the sound of a microphone.

While Yamaha MG mixers have been designed to work as standalone devices that don’t need to connect with a computer, you’ll still be able to do so and take advantage of even more features. ’XU’ models are equipped with USB 2.0, so you can send your live stereo mix into a DAW software platform using the mixer as an interface. The last stereo channel can also be used for audio over USB with a max sample rate of 24-bit/192 kHz. This works great for mixing in audio from a laptop or iOS device through a USB Camera Connection kit adapter.
