Yamaha MGP12X Premium 12 Channel Mixer

Full Description

D-PRE Microphone Preamps

The MGP12X features newly refined D-PRE mic preamps that employ an inverted Darlington circuit design and deliver more power with lower impedance. Initially intended for use with Yamaha's high-end recording equipment, these discrete class-A preamps ensure your signal retains the original character and musical expression.

X-Pressive EQ

Throughout the development of the innovative VCM (Virtual Circuit Modeling) effects, Yamaha became increasingly focused on reproducing the warmth and musicality of classic vintage EQs. After precisely modelling the original circuitry from some of the most sought-after EQ modules from the past, Yamaha discovered a characteristic ''X-shape'' of the frequency curves that was unique to these units. More than just a means of tweaking your mix, the precise response and steep shelving of both the high and low frequencies make the X-Pressive EQ a powerful sound-shaping tool that provides control of every aspect.

1-Knob Compressors

The MGP16X features newly upgraded 1-knob compressors with LED indicators that allow you to visually monitor when compression ''kicks in'' on each channel. These intelligent compressors add optimally set compression to a wide variety of input sources by simply adjusting a single control - eliminating the need to set up and configure complex outboard equipment.

Hybrid Channel

Combining traditional analog feel with the functionality that only digital technology can offer, the MGP mixers are equipped with a proprietary DSP that delivers three essential features - Priority Ducker, Leveler and Stereo Image. Offering unique functionality with superior sound, the Hybrid Channel is also equipped with high-performance A/D and D/A converters, a mid-sweep and a three-band EQ.

Dual Digital Effects

MGP series mixing consoles provide two separate studio-quality effects processors for tailoring your sound to suit any application and venue. With user-friendly operation, the REV-X reverb delivers three musical and natural high-resolution reverb effects - a first for any analog Yamaha mixer.

MGP Editor

Yamaha MGP Editor is a free software application can downloaded to your iOS device. Utilising a simple and intuitive graphic display, MGP Editor provides control of REV-X and SPX effects parameters, as well as Hybrid Channel's Priority Ducker, Leveler and music playback settings.
