D-PRE discrete Class-A microphone preamps deliver clean, natural sound
No one wants to hear microphones connected to thin, distorted preamps. The MG Series mixers use Yamaha's transparent D-PRE preamps, which deliver more power at lower impedance, providing natural-sounding bass and smooth treble. D-PREs sound just right - without hyping up specific elements of your mix. The pure sound of the D-PRE means you don't have to spend hours EQing to get a barely acceptable sound, as you would with low-quality mic preamps.
One-button compressors provide user-friendly dynamics control
When you're in the middle of a live event, you don't have time to tweak a large number of complex outboard effect units. To solve this problem, the Yamaha MG series of analog mixers features simple, time-saving one-button compressors. Simply turn a single dial and you can set livelier guitars, more powerful basses, tighter drums and well-defined vocals.
EQ and highpass filter provide effective sound-shaping
Whether you want to perfect your sound to perfection or remove unwanted frequencies, an effective and powerful EQ is necessary to build a successful mix. With equalizers on all mono channels, the table offers ample control over the tonal balance of your mix. In addition, a highpass filter allows you to remove all low-frequency mud from your mix by eliminating unwanted noise in the low frequencies.
Built-in SPX digital effects add polish and professionalism
To add the final glue and shine to your audio mix, the MG12XU offers you a comprehensive array of 24 editable digital effects. Based on Yamaha's acclaimed SPX digital multi-effect processor, the MG series delivers high-quality reverb, delay, chorus, phaser, flanger, tremolo and auto-wah, in addition to distortion, pitch effects and more.
High-qualityop-amp ensures transparent sound reproduction
At Klundert Music, we know that few things kill tone as quickly as substandard op-amps. The Yamaha MG Series uses new, high-quality MG01 op-amps to ensure that your mix sounds its best. When designing these op-amps, Yamaha focused on sound quality rather than prioritizing electrical design and efficiency. Yamaha has always strived to deliver the purest possible signal rather than putting a "signature" on your sound, and the MG series is no exception. You can count on a transparent, natural and articulate sound with this Japanese!
