After the success of our MX12/4 mixer, our engineers returned to their drawing boards to see how they could improve on the solid performance and features that made the 12/4 so popular. What they came up, with we think you’ll like. The new MX series features two models. First is the MX12/6, a 12-channel mixer with 8 mono and 2 stereo input channels. Second is the MX20/6, a compact, 20-channel mixing console with 16 mono and 2 stereo input channels. Both units feature independent 6 bus outputs (4-Group and ST), three AUX buses (AUX 1, AUX 2, EFFECT) and an upgraded and expanded Digital Effects section for greater flexibility and performance. We$B!G(Jve added extensive grounding and protection to further reduced noise caused from static electricity. Finally, to ensure the utmost in reliability and performance, the MX series utilizes the highest grade of quality parts with strict screening of all parts, especially in parts directly related to sound quality.
With the MX12/6 and MX20/6, Yamaha again delivers the superior performance, versatility that professionals demand features hard to find, at such an affordable price.
Inputs: Both mixers offer mono input channels with both balanced XLR-type microphone inputs and balanced TRS phone jack line inputs. For compatibility with condenser microphones both units feature switchable phantom power is supplied to mono channels and controlled with a single switch (CH1-8) on the MX12/6 and two switches (CH1-8 & 9-16) on the MX20/6.
Direct connection of stereo line sources is provided with channels 9/10 & 11/12 on the 12/6 and channels 17/18 & 19/20 on the 20/6. Both RCA and TRS phone type jacks are provided.
Gain Trim: All mono and stereo channels are equipped with gain trim controls with LED peak indicators to facilitate level matching with a wide variety of sources.
3-band Channel EQ: Each channel is equipped with 3-band equalization that provides /-15dB of control over high, mid and low frequencies centered at 10kHz (shelving), 2.5kHz (peaking) and 100Hz (shelving) respec-tively.
Two AUX Buses: Two separate AUX buses can be used as sends for external effectors or a monitor system to offer signal routing flexibility.
AUX 1 is pre-fader while AUX 2 allows the selection of either pre- or post-fader signals.
Effect Send: Further signal routing is provided with the EFFECT send which can be used to send the signal to the on-board digital effects section or to an external effector.
4-Group Plus Stereo Assignment & Channel Faders:
Linear faders offer noise free operation that is both smooth and precise. Both mixers offer exceptional routing flexibility with three bus assign switches that allow routing of each channel’s signal to Group 1/2, 3/4 and/ or ST outputs.
