Compact Mixer with Huge Sound!
Many real-world mixing jobs only involve a few channels, so a small mixer is the obvious choice. But no matter how brain-dead really simple the setup, you'll always want first-rate audio quality and processing capability. The MG124c and MG124cx are the ideal choice for live sound jobs, offering sonic quality that will satisfy the most critical listener, surprising flexibility and ease-of-use, and some cutting-edge features you normally wouldn't find in this type of small mixer. So whether you need a small main mixer, or a secondary utility mixer for a larger application, don't overlook these performance-packed models.Yamaha MG124c quick look:
- Master & Out Section
- Illuminated Channel ON Switches
- Comprehensive, Easy-access Connector Panel
- 3-band Channel EQ and High-pass Filter
- Six High-performance Microphone Preamplifiers with Selectable Phantom Power
- Flexible 12-input Configuration
- Built-in Channel Compressors
- Four Buses (Stereo and Group)
Flexible 12-input Configuration
The MG124c and MG124cx both have a total of 12 in channels - four mono microphone/line ins and four stereo line inputs. Two of the stereo line inputs can also function as mono microphone inputs, giving you up to six simultaneous mono microphone inputs when needed. Gain trim covers a wide -60dB ~ -16dB range for microphone input, and -34dB ~ +10dB for line in.
Comprehensive, Easy-access Connector Panel
Top-mounted in and out connectors make setting up and re-patching your system quick and really simple. Both models feature premium Neutrik balanced XLR connectors on all four mono microphone/line channels and two of the stereo channels. The XLR-equipped stereo channels can accept mono microphone in either via the XLR or phone jack connectors. The remaining stereo channels provide phone jack and pin jack connectors for compatibility with many sources. The four mono input channels also feature insert I/O connectors that let you patch external signal processing gear into those channels as required. Separate pin-jack 2TR inputs are provided to accept the Out from a CD player or similar stereo source.
Six High-performance Microphone Preamplifiers with Selectable Phantom Power
The microphone preamplifiers in any mixer are critical to its overall performance. The microphone preamps made into the MG mixers inherit technology from Yamaha's top-line pro mixers, and have been painstakingly designed to deliver superior sonic performance with any dynamic or condenser microphone. All six microphone preamps feature selectable phantom power so you can take advantage of the natural, extended response of excellent condenser microphones. One switch turns phantom power on or off for all microphone channels.
Built-in Channel Compressors
Built-in channel dynamics is usually only found on high-end (and totally expensive) mixers. The MG124c and MG124cx feature Yamaha's innovative one-knob compression feature on mono input channels 1 through 4. This cutting-edge feature can be a tremendous advantage in achieving incredible vocal sound. It can also be used to refine the sound of bass, guitar, and other sources. Conventional audio compressors with their threshold, ratio, knee, makeup gain and other controls can be complex and time-consuming to set appropriately for a given source. Yamaha's one-knob compressor eliminates the need for an engineering degree with one control that lets you simply dial in the amount of compression you want.
3-band Channel EQ and High-pass Filter
Yamaha has decades of experience in building truly useful, musical equalization into successful pro mixers, and the channel equalizers in MG-series mixers carry on without compromise. Channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5/6, and 7/8 feature full 3-band equalizers with LOW, MID, and HIGH controls, while 9/10 and 11/12 have 2-band EQ for smooth equalization of stereo sources.
Four Buses (Stereo and Group)
In addition to the main stereo bus the MG124c and MG124cx sport a stereo group bus and outputs that can be used for useful channel grouping. Assign switches for the stereo and group buses are located next to each channel fader.
Illuminated Channel ON Switches
All input channels feature illuminated channel ON switches chat can be used to individually add or remove channels from the mix without having to change the positions of the channel faders. The effect channel on the MG124cx also has its own ON switch.
Master & Output Section
The MG124cx has pre/post selectable AUX sends on all channels plus Effect send controls that adjust the level of the signal sent to the mixer's internal multi-effect rig. The MG124c has dual AUX send controls for each channel, one selectable for pre- or post-fader operation, and one fixed for prefader send. Master send controls are also provided, as are Return level controls for the Aux and Stereo busses.
Smooth 60-millimeter Faders
Channel and master level control is accomplished via reliable, high-performance 60-millimeter linear faders that provide smooth, noise-free operation. An important advantage of linear faders is that they provide a direct visual indication of relative level settings.
Yamaha MG124c Features:
- 60-millimeter Faders
- 3-band Channel EQ and High-pass Filter
- Flexible 12-input Configuration
- Four Buses (Stereo and Group)
- Built-in Channel Compressors
- Six Microphone Preamplifiers with Selectable Phantom Power
