Featuring five standard models ranging from six to twenty inputs, and five XU models featuring onboard SPX effect processors, the new series comprises a versatile lineup of ten models in total that will meet the demands of a wide range of mixing applications.
The new MG Series feature Yamaha's discrete Class-A "D-PRE" microphone preamps. Utilizing an inverted Darlington circuit topography, these studio-grade preamps feature multiple circuitry elements designed to deliver more power with lower impedance.
Models above10 inputs are equipped with newly upgraded 1-knob compressors that let you add optimized compression to a wide variety of input sources with the touch of a single control.
Each model in the new series has been redesigned with an emphasis on durability, incorporating practical features that offer greater resistance to the conditions and hazards that they may be subjected to. A powder-coated steel chassis provides improved structural strength, while the placement of the knobs above the surface of the chassis protects internal components by absorbing any impact or pressure on the knobs themselves. Based on feedback from Yamaha's worldwide customer base, the MG Series offers improved reliability thanks to its internal universal power supplies.
