Yamaha mixing console
These new MG mixers are lighter and smaller
than ever while offering some innovative new features. The MG102C and
MG82CX are ideal mixers for basic music production or live sound
applications that require high sound quality from a relatively small
number of input sources. Both models are remarkably compact and
lightweight, but no compromises have been made in sound quality. They
even have built-in channel compressors that, although easy to operate,
can significantly enhance the quality of your mixes. An optional adaptor
allows these mixers to be mounted on a microphone stand for easy access
and convenient positioning on stage. The MG82CX additionally features
top-quality SPX digital effects built in, so you won't need any extra
equipment for many applications.

Height: 62.2mm
Depth: 302.5mm
Weight: 1.6kg
Power Requirements: PA10 AC adaptor (AC 240V; 50/60Hz)
Power Consumption: 21W
Small but Sophisticated
Many real-world mixing applications only
involve a few channels, so a small mixer is the obvious choice. But
no matter how simple the setup, you'll always want first-rate audio
quality and processing capability. The MG82CX and MG102C are the
ideal choice for small music production or live sound applications,
offering sonic quality that will satisfy the most critical listener,
surprising flexibility and ease-of-use, and some advanced features
you normally wouldn't find in this type of compact mixer. So whether
you need a compact main mixer, or a secondary utility mixer for a
larger application, don't overlook these performance-packed models.
Flexible 8 or 10 Input Channel Configurations
The MG82CX has a total of 8 input
channels comprised of two mono microphone/line channels and three
stereo line channels. The MG102C has an addition stereo channel for
a total of 10 input channels. On both models two of the stereo
channel can be used as mono microphone inputs, providing a total of
four microphone inputs when necessary. Gain trim covers a wide -60dB
~ -16dB range for microphone input, and -34dB ~ +10dB for line
input.
Comprehensive, Easy-access Connector Panel
Top-mounted input and output connectors
make setting up and re-patching your system quick and easy. Both
models feature high-quality Neutrik™ balanced XLR connectors on both
mono microphone/line channels and two of the stereo channels. The
XLR-equipped stereo channels can accept mono microphone input either
via the XLR or phone jack connectors. The remaining stereo channel
on the MG82CX and the remaining two stereo channels on the MG102C
provide phone jack and pin jack connectors for compatibility with a
wide range of sources. The two 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.
Four 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. All four
microphone preamps also feature switchable phantom power so you can
take advantage of the natural, extended response of high quality
condenser microphones. A single switch turns phantom power on or off
for all four channels.
Built-in Channel Compressors
This advanced feature can be a
tremendous advantage in achieving great vocal sound. It can also be
used 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 MG82CX and MG102C you have Yamaha's
innovative one-knob compression feature on mono input channels 1 and
2. 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.
3-band Channel EQ and High-pass Filter
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, and you
reap the benefits in the MG-series mixers. Channels 1, 2, 3/4, and
5/6 feature full 3-band equalizers with LOW, MID, and HIGH controls,
while channel 7/8 on the MG82CX and channels 7/8 and 9/10 have
2-band EQ for smooth equalization of stereo sources.
Effect/Aux Sends
The MG82CX has 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. The MG102C has AUX send controls on
all channels in place of the MG82CX EFFECT send controls, and these
adjust the level of the signal sent from the corresponding channel
to the AUX SEND jack that can be used to feed external effects or a
monitor system. A RETURN control in the master section of both
models adjusts the level of the signal returned from external
processors via the RETURN jacks.
Stereo, Control Room, Monitor, and Headphone Outputs
Located above the mixer's master
controls, on the convenient easy-access connector panel, are the
main stereo output connectors, phone-jack monitor output connectors,
pin-jack recording outputs, and a stereo headphone jack. They may be
compact, but these mixers offer plenty of connectivity for a wide
range of applications.
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.
Lightweight, Portable Design
The MG82CX and MG102C weigh only 1.6 and
1.5 kilograms, respectively. That's small enough to pop into your
briefcase or shoulder bag and easily take with you anywhere. But the
performance you'll get at the studio, club, outdoors, or anywhere
you choose to use these fine mixers is far from lightweight.
Optional Mic Stand Mount
Both of these compact models can be
mounted on a microphone stand for optimal positioning and easy
access using the optional BMS-10A Mic Stand Adaptor. This can be
particularly handy when using the mixer as sub-mixer for drums or as
a cue box in recording situations.
Easy Operation
All switches, controls, and displays
have been designed and laid out for intuitive access and smooth,
reliable operation with positive tactile and visual feedback.
MG82CX Built-in SPX Effects
There's an astonishing amount of SPX
signal processing power packed into the MG82CX's diminutive chassis.
It incorporates a versatile digital multi-effect processor that
provides a range of reverb, delay, modulation, and distortion
programs you can use to refine and define your sound. Each of the 16
effect programs has a number of editable parameters as well as
effect on/off switching capability and return level control. If you
need to keep both hands free to play an instrument or perform other
operations, an optional footswitch can be connected to the mixer's
effect footswitch jack for convenient on/off switching.
