Product information "Yamaha MG12XU"

The Yamaha MG12XU stands out for its exceptional sound quality and versatility, making it ideal for both portable setups and permanent installations. In this mixer, the proven technology of large Yamaha consoles is combined with practical innovations that make daily use at the mixing desk easier.

Thanks to the D-PRE microphone preamps, the mixer delivers a clear and natural sound, particularly impressive in the bass and treble. These preamps are designed to highlight the nuances of your microphones without unnecessarily coloring the sound. The result is sound quality that is second to none in its class.

Another highlight is the integrated one-knob compressors, which enable easy and effective dynamic control. With just one turn, guitars can be made livelier, basses punchier, and vocals more precise. This is especially helpful in live situations, where quick and effective mixing is essential.

For further sound shaping, there are powerful EQs and high-pass filters available. These tools allow you to shape the mix exactly as you want, eliminating unwanted frequencies and emphasizing the desired ones. Whether you want to perfect a mix or simply eliminate interfering frequencies, these features give you full control.

A special feature is the built-in SPX digital effects, which add the finishing touch to your mixes. From reverb to delay to modulation effects – these effects blend seamlessly into your performance and elevate your sound to a professional level.

The Yamaha mixing console offers a robust build and an intuitive user interface, enabling you to fully unleash your creativity without feeling restricted by technical limitations.

Gut, günstig und schnell

Yamaha-Qualität zum günstigen Preis - was will man mehr? Super schnell losgeschickt. Bloß GLS hat sein ursprüngliches Lieferversprechen erst einen Tag später eingelöst. Kam aber immer noch innerhalb von drei Tagen an.

Very satisfied

Fast delivery and great price. Testing sounds from many sources still good I did not use all sound effects but the first one is enough for the singer. It's Yamaha product and I've never been disappointed.
