Product Information

For more than a century, Yamaha has been building a legacy of superior craftsmanship and innovation exemplified in all of our products, from an unrivalled catalog of world-class musical instruments to touring-grade professional audio.

When was the last time you heard guitar without EQ or a completely unprocessed vocal on one of your favorite songs? A nice feature if you want to record the main stereo outputs to your DAW or play back music from your computer.The reverbs are very nice sounding and clean and even some of the crazier effects like the tremolo, flanger, and distortion are very usable. Phantom Power also allows the home producer or live engineer to connect more sensitive condenser microphones to the MG06, great for mixing low-level instruments on stage or studio vocal microphones. I doubt it may have something to do with my setup or headset, but the hiss is very apparent when the knob is halfway up.

Excessive humidity, unstable power supplies, and the rigors of road travel in general can take a serious toll on a mixing console, often causing expensive, time-consuming repairs, and reducing its lifespan.Now in its third incarnation, the MG Series embodies this pursuit of design excellence, and incorporates some of the same technologies developed for use in high-end professional consoles, including studio-quality preamps, powerful digital processing, and a rugged, reliable construction. from New York on October 18, 2023 Music Background: Music educator for 33 years, sound engineering for 15 years, performer for 50 years. Extra bonus features for channels 1 and 2 include high pass filters to help tame muddiness from unwanted low frequencies, and pad switches to tone down loud inputs.

To not have the Missus shoot me, I always run everything through my headphones, and using this freed up much space being used by my "practice" amp. I take the XLR outputs from the MG06X and run them through a Native Instruments Komplete Audio interface (gen 1) using 24bit/96KHz connected to my iPad when I want to fiddle with recording or other iOS apps on the iPad.It was my choice to go for portability as the units that have RCA ports were just enough larger to make them a bit unwieldy for my wife.
