The Yamaha AG03 Mk2 is an updated, 3-channel mixer designed to deliver high-quality audio for (live) streaming, gaming, webcasting and live music. This robust mixer gives you 24-bit/192kHz audio quality, USB connectivity, onboard DSP effects and loopback functionality. The Mk2 introduces a 1/8-inch, 4-pin mini-I/O to enable a variety of streaming options, a mute button and a host of improvements to construction, design, internal circuitry and overall performance - all to ensure optimized, intuitive operation without sacrificing quality. The AG-03 is the most compact version in the series.
Inputs and outputs
The AG03 Mk2 has a sleek design. Inputs and outputs are grouped at the top, keeping controls free of (cable) clutter. A single multi-function jack supports XLR and phone inputs (balanced or unbalanced), while a jack input - with a dedicated line switch - lets you switch between guitar and line inputs. A third channel, with dedicated left and right channel inputs, allows you to use the left channel for mono instruments. Furthermore, this mixer supports iOS to integrate apps like Zoom, Skype, Teams and FaceTime - all from your device.
In control with built-in DSP FX
Getting your levels right is paramount to a good stream, and the AG03 Mk2 has plenty of options for that. For example, you have LEDs for visual feedback, peak control, channel muting and built-in +48 volt phantom power, ideal for using condenser microphones. Reverb, mute and comp/EQ functions include onboard DSP effects in addition to a dedicated 60mm fader for your microphone, in addition to channel control and gain adjustment. The 3-way selector further controls your stream control, with options for dry channel 1-2, input mix, and loopback - the latter allowing you to simultaneously integrate music or background audio from your laptop or iOS device with your live inputs.
Offline versatility
Thanks to the AG03 Mk2's class compliance connectivity, iOS integration opens up countless opportunities to get even more out of your mixer. This includes compatibility with Cubasis LE, a multi-touch sequencer app and reduced version of Steinberg Cubase. In addition, the AG a DSP Controller app offers sophisticated control of onboard options, with a "1-touch" easy mode and an expert mode. In addition, the AG03 Mk2 comes with the Cubase AI DAW, providing a powerful, smooth path for producing high-quality recordings.
