The Yamaha MG12X is a professional, analog mixer with premium effects. It is a compact mixer with twelve simultaneous inputs that is ideal for performances, sound recordings and more. The mixer features four mono mic/line combo input channels, two stereo line input channels that can also be used as mono mic or line inputs (XLR and stereo 1/4" inputs), and two stereo line inputs with 1/4" and RCA jacks.
Channels 1-8 are each equipped with D-Pre microphone preamps, 3-band EQ, pan control and a high-pass filter. The D-Pre microphone preamps have reverse Darlington circuitry and switchable 48V phantom power for use with dynamic and condenser microphones. Channels 1-4 each have 26 dB attenuation switches for use with loud sound sources such as guitar amps and drums. The MG12X mixer has XLR and TRS stereo outs for connecting to your PA system or monitor speakers. It also has a 1/4" headphone output with level control for personal monitoring, as well as additional TRS 1/4" stereo monitor outs for sending to powered speakers, amplifiers or devices such as digital recorders.
Each of the MG12X's channels has its own FX bus send level, and there are 24 effect presets to choose from. The overall FX bus level is controlled by the dedicated FX return level control. With reverbs, delays, phaser, flanger, chorus, tremolo, auto-wah, distortion and more, these effects can be used to make vocals and instruments sound better in the mix.
1-Button Compressor
Compression plays an essential role in just about any recording or sound reinforcement environment by changing the level of dynamics of an audio signal when you need livelier guitars, more powerful bass lines, a tighter snare or a cleaner vocal sound. However, it can take countless hours to master the complexity of even the most basic outboard compression units and use them effectively. Originally an innovation from Yamaha, 1-button compressors are now an industry standard that give you instant access to optimized compression settings via a single dial.
EQ and high-pass filters
There's nothing more useful than a reliable equalizer when you need nuanced management of your sound. The MG Series benefits from Yamaha's unmatched experience in designing professional audio equipment, with 3-band equalizers on all mono channels for precise control over your sound. High-pass filters allow you to eliminate unwanted low-frequency noise for a cleaner sound mix.
Aux/Effectssends
MG Series mixers have aux sends for expanding your sound reinforcement or recording setup, allowing you to integrate additional effects, output to external recording devices, or feed to monitors. Master send controls are also provided.
Built-in SPX digital effects
For both musical and non-musical applications, effects processing adds polish and professionalism to the mix. The MG12X is equipped with Yamaha's acclaimed SPX digital multi-effect processor, which offers a comprehensive array of 24 editable digital effects perfect for enhancing your mix, whether adding depth to a speech or giving new color and atmosphere to a live band performance. In particular, the high-quality reverb and delay enhance the spatial quality of the sound with remarkable realism and naturalness. You can even connect an optional FC5 footswitch to turn the effect on and off.
