Yamaha mixing console
Whether you have a mixing applications that
involves only a few channels, or up to 32 inputs with substantial signal
routing versatility, Yamaha's MG-series offers a console that will give
you the capacity, control, and performance you deserve. All models are
remarkably compact and lightweight for superior handling and
portability, but absolutely no compromises have been made in terms of
features, performance, or durability. The MG mixers offer an
extraordinary blend of technology: some inherited from professional
Yamaha mixing consoles you're likely to see in distinguished halls
throughout the world, and some developed specifically to deliver optimum
performance in the MG-console format. In either case these
performance-packed mixers are founded on a world-spanning network of
human and technological resources that crystallize to deliver features
that really matter, and sound that is undeniably superior.
Width: 478mm
Height: 105mm
Depth: 496mm
Weight: 6.0kg
Power Requirements: PA30 AC adaptor (AC 240V; 50/60Hz)
Power Consumption: 40W
Lightweight, Portable Designs
Designing a lightweight mixer is not too
difficult, but designing a lightweight, compact mixer that delivers
serious performance is another matter. The Yamaha design team went
to extraordinary lengths in the MG series, including in-depth
material and structural analysis, to bring you maximum manageability
and maximum performance in the same packages. The result is that you
can easily pop the smallest models into your briefcase or shoulder
bag and take with you anywhere. Even the larger models can be tucked
under an arm and carried around quite easily. But the performance
you'll get at the studio, club, hall, or anywhere you choose to use
these fine mixers is far from lightweight. Every one of the MG
series mixers provides significant space savings along with huge
performance benefits.
Versatile Connectivity and Pro-class Connectors
Top-mounted input and output connectors
make setting up and re-patching your system quick and easy. All
models feature high-quality Neutrik™ balanced XLR connectors on mono
microphone/line channels and XLR-equipped stereo channels. These
professional-class connectors were subjected to extensive testing by
the Yamaha design team, and were chosen for the MG mixers for their
superior reliability and sonic qualities. The XLR-equipped stereo
channels can accept mono microphone input either via the XLR or
phone jack connectors. The remaining stereo channels provide phone
jack and pin jack connectors for compatibility with a wide range of
sources. Mono input channels also feature insert I/O connectors that
let you patch external signal processing gear into those channels as
required. Separate pin jack 2TR inputs are provided to accept the
output from a CD player or similar stereo source.
Built-in Channel Compressors
This advanced feature can be a
tremendous advantage in achieving great vocal sound, as well as to
refine the sound of bass, guitar, and other sources. You won't find
built-in channel compression on too many other mixers in this class,
but in the new MG mixers you have Yamaha's innovative one-knob
compression feature on several of the mono input channels.
Conventional audio compressors with their threshold, ratio, knee,
makeup gain and other controls can be complex and time consuming to
set appropriately for a given source. Yamaha's one-knob compressor
eliminates the need for an engineering degree with a single control
that lets you simply dial in the amount of compression you want.
High-performance Microphone Preamplifiers with Switchable Phantom Power
Microphone preamplifiers are critical in
any mixer, and a performance bottleneck in many. That's why pros
often spend thousands of dollars on just a single channel of
microphone pre-amplification. The microphone preamps built into the
MG mixers inherit technology from Yamaha's top-line professional
consoles, and have been painstakingly designed to deliver superior
sonic performance with any dynamic or condenser microphone. Gain
trim covers a wide - 60dB ~ -16dB range for microphones (-34dB ~
+10dB for line input), so you'll be able to achieve optimum level
matching with just about any source. All microphone preamps also
feature switchable phantom power so you can take advantage of the
natural, extended response of high-quality condenser microphones.
3-band Channel EQ and High-pass Filters
Building a truly useful,
musical-sounding channel equalizer is no easy task, but Yamaha has
decades of experience in building pro consoles to draw on. You reap
the benefits in the MG series mixers: all mono channels feature
3-band equalizers with LOW, MID, and HIGH controls. Depending on the
model some of all of the stereo channels have 2-band EQ for smooth
equalization of stereo sources. Although not directly related to the
equalizer circuitry, all inputs also feature 80 Hz low-pass filters
that can be used to eliminate subsonic noise that is outside the
equalizers' range.
Aux/Effect Sends
All models except the MG82CX have from
one to three AUX sends for convenient to processing and monitor
systems. Master send controls are also provided, as are RETURN level
controls for the AUX and STEREO busses. "CX" models have EFFECT send
controls on all channels that adjust the level of the signal sent
from the corresponding channel to the mixer's internal multi-effect
system. The same signal can also be sent to external effect
processors via the mixer's EFFECT SEND jack.
Six Buses (Stereo and Group)
The smallest models in the line up - the
MG82CX and MG102C - have a single stereo bus (i.e. two mono buses).
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.
Smooth 60-millimeter Faders & Illuminated Channel ON Switches
While the MG82CX and MG102C feature
rotary faders, channel and master level control on all other models
is accomplished via reliable, high performance 60-millimeter linear
faders that provide smooth, noise-free operation. When you have more
than a few channels the direct visual indication of relative level
settings can be an important advantage. Models with linear faders
also feature illuminated channel ON switches that can be used to
individually add or remove channels from the mix without having to
change the positions of the channel faders.
Bright Meters for Visual Level Monitoring
Accurate visual level monitoring can
help you achieve maximum signal-to-noise ratio without distortion.
The MG mixer's bright, easy-to-read multi-segment LED meters make it
easy to control system levels for optimum overall performance.
