More about Yamaha's the MG Analog Mixers

Yamaha’s MG series mixing consoles feature some of the same studio-quality preamps and powerful digital processing technologies from high-end professional consoles, packaged together in rugged reliable housing. With 6-20 channel options to choose from, there is an MG console perfect for installed, recording, or live music settings in many applications.

Sonic purity and unmatched sound quality start with the D-PRE Class-A mic preamps present in all MG series mixers. This preamp uses an inverted Darlington circuit comprising two cascading transistors in a design that supplies more power with lower impedance. The overall construction of the preamp allows each MG console to deliver incredible and realistic sound with minimal distortion, and a wide frequency range makes sure it can handle signals from any audio source accurately.

Op-amps also play a critical role in delivering excellent sound. MG series mixers use newly developed custom-made MG01 op-amps that put sound quality before electrical design and efficiency. Silicon wafers and copper wire are some of the materials included to achieve excellent resolution.

Phantom power and pad switch lets you take advantage of the upsides of condenser microphones while dodging some of the downsides. The pad switch attenuates high input signals from miked instruments, helping avoid clipping.

The MG series mixers have tools to help your sound come through exactly as you want. 1-knob compressors, EQ and high-pass filters, and Aux sends all give you the power to tweak your mix for livelier guitars, punchier bass, a tighter snare, and any other adjustments you want to make.

All the MG consoles have high-quality balanced XLR connectors on mono microphone/line channels and XLR-equipped stereo channels. A host of inputs and outputs are available for you to connect all the gear you’re working with.
