A Century of Sound Behind Six Superlative Mixers
Yamaha is an
unusual company. There are very few others who can claim "total music
involvement," but that is Yamaha's position. They've been making fine
musical instruments for more than 100 years, industry-leading sound
reinforcement mixers for more than 30 years, and cutting-edge digital
mixers and music production gear for 15 years. In sound-reinforcement
terms, 30 years is a very long time. In fact, 30 years is roughly equal
to the total history of sound reinforcement (the term "sound
reinforcement" wasn't even used back then ? it was still "PA"), and
we've been there the entire time. Innovating, leading, and in many ways
defining the development of modern mixing consoles.
They're
still at it. Yamaha is proud to introduce the Yamaha MG-series mixing
consoles, featuring 6 models ranging in size from a small
10-channel/2-bus unit right up to a very flexible 32-channel/14-bus
type with an impressive selection of built-in effects. There have been
no compromises. The MG mixers are built for great sound, total control,
and superior reliability. In fact, they undergo the same rigorous
quality and reliability tests as our world-class PM-series mixing
consoles. But, by taking full advantage of the latest Yamaha technology
and manufacturing techniques, we have been able to pack these
superlative mixers with more value than you'll find anywhere else. In
short, they offer extraordinary performance and mixing power at
remarkable prices.
If you need a high-performance analog mixer
for music production or sound reinforcement, the Yamaha MG Series is
the first ? and last ? place you should look.
Serious Capacity For Sound Reinforcement & Installations
If
your application is live sound reinforcement, you'll want all the
channel capacity you can get - just in case. Vocal mics, instrument
mics, stereo keyboards, direct-injection feeds, drum mics, and the rest
can add up very quickly. With 24 and 32 input channels, respectively,
the MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX are ready to handle all but the most
ambitious sound-reinforcement setups. And with dual SPX digital effect
systems on-board, you won't need racks of outboard gear to get the
sound you need. There's also a comprehensive range of group and
auxiliary busses to make even complex mixes easy.
24 or 32 Input Channels
Choose
either the 24-channel MG24/14FX or the 32-channel MG32/14MX according
to your needs. All other features are the same. The MG24/14FX has 16
mono microphone/line channels while the MG32/14FX has 24. Both offer
four stereo line channels in addition to the mono mic/line channels.
Low-noise, High-precision Mic Preamps With Phantom Power
All
16 mic preamps in the MG24/14FX and all 24 mic preamps in the MG32/14FX
are of exemplary quality. They offer low-noise, transparent
amplification with the widest possible range of dynamic and condenser
microphones, which adds up to cleaner, better-sounding mixes. All mic
preamps feature switchable phantom power for phantom-powered studio
condenser microphones. Phantom power is switchable in 8-channel groups.
Illuminated Switches
Illuminated ON (channel), PFL
(Pre-Fader Listen), and phantom-power switches let you confirm critical
console settings at a glance.
14 Buses In All For Flexible Signal Routing
In
addition to lots of input channels, live sound reinforcement
applications usually demand a number of additional mixes - usually in
the form of group sub-mixes and aux sends for external signal
processing and monitor mixes. In both the MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX you
have a total of 14 mix buses: the main stereo program bus, four stereo
group bus pairs for convenient channel grouping, six auxiliary busses
(4 configurable for pre- or post-fader operation and two set up as
effect sends), and 2 internal effect busses that feed the dual
high-performance built-in effect processors.
Insert I/O
All
mono input channels feature insert I/O patch points so you can insert
compressors, EQ, or other extra signal-processing gear into the channel
signal path as required.
3-band Mid-sweep Channel EQ and HPF
The
3-band equalizers with a sweepable midband provided on all input
channels are designed for exceptionally smooth, intuitive response that
can help you to create cleaner, tighter mixes. All mono microphone
input channels also feature a switchable high-pass filter that can be
used to cut out unwanted low-frequency noise.
Dual SPX Digital Effects
In
the MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX you have not 1, but 2 high-performance
digital signal processing stages, fed by separate effect buses, so you
can enhance your mix with 2 separate effects at the same time. And the
effects are provided by the very latest Yamaha DSP technology - you
know you're getting the best. Each stage provides a selection of 16
professional - quality SPX digital effects, including reverb, delay,
pitch change, chorus, phasing, vocal doubling, distortion, and more.
Parameter controls that can be adjusted to tailor the effects to your
sonic requirement are also provided and Tap delay makes it easy to
produce tempo-synchronized delays.
Talkback Input
Communication
capability is important for efficient setup as well as for keeping a
show running smoothly. The MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX both feature a
talkback system that allows the FOH engineer to communicate with the
monitor engineer, performers, or other staff to keep the team operating
at optimum efficiency.
Balanced XLR Stereo and Mono Outputs
Professional connectivity is provided by reliable XLR-type balanced stereo and mono outputs.
Sweepable LPF for Mono Out
One
of the many uses for a mono output is to drive a subwoofer system. The
MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX make this easier than ever with a built-in
sweepable low-pass filter on the mono outputs.
