Yamaha MG12XUK 12-Channel Analog Mixer Standard

With smooth rotary knob faders for a more compact design, the 12-channel MG12XUK carries on Yamaha's tradition of great sound, delivering Class-A D-PRE microphone preamps and SPX onboard effects. Ideal for recording, live music and installed applications, the MG12XUK boasts an intuitive, easy-to-use interface and rock-solid construction that's designed to stand up to professional use.

Yamaha's state-of-the-art, discrete, studio-grade Class-A D-PRE microphone preamplifiers utilize inverted Darlington circuitry to deliver outstanding sonic quality with ample power at low impedance. The high-resolution sound of D-PRE preamps is a beloved feature of Yamaha's professional mixers, satisfying the requirements of the most demanding sound engineers. With big, natural sounding bass, a rich midrange, and smooth highs—all with very low distortion—D-PRE preamps offer an impressively wide frequency range that handles signals from any audio source without coloration, faithfully retaining the most detailed nuances of the original sound.

An upgraded single-knob compressor makes it possible to add optimized compression to a wide variety of input sources via a single control. Yamaha’s acclaimed SPX effects are ubiquitous in sound reinforcement and recording applications. Twenty-four updated SPX effects are included in the MG12XUK for versatile creative processing.

The MG12XUK also features a USB 2.0 audio interface capable of 24-bit/192kHz quality for playback of digital content from a PC, and/or recording of the mixer’s output to DAW software such as the included Steinberg Cubase AI. USB Audio Class 2.0 is also supported, allowing operation with USB Audio Class 2.0 compliant tablets and other devices without the need to install driver software. The MG12XUK is also compatible with the Apple Camera Connection Kit or Lighting to USB Camera Adapter for seamless recording and playback of digital audio to and from an iPad or iPhone.

With emphasis on durability, the versatile MG12XUK boasts practical features that ensure reliable operation in a wide range of challenging conditions. 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 impact or pressure applied to the knobs themselves.
