Yamaha MG12XU 12-Channel Analog Mixer with Effects and USB
The Yamaha MG12XU is a 12-channel analog mixing console with Yamaha's SPX effects and a built-in USB audio interface. It handles up to six microphones on D-PRE preamps, offers two group buses and two AUX sends, and sends the stereo mix straight to a computer for recording or streaming.
It is a strong choice for bands, churches, schools, podcasters and event engineers who want to mix live and capture the show in the same setup. Steinberg's Cubase AI is available as a download, so you can start recording without buying extra software.
Key Features
Six D-PRE Mic Inputs on the MG12XU
Channels 1-4 have balanced combo jacks, and channels 5/6 and 7/8 add XLR mic inputs beside their line jacks, for up to six microphones. Every mic input uses Yamaha's discrete Class-A D-PRE preamp with an inverted Darlington circuit, and +48V phantom power is available for condenser mics.
24-bit/192 kHz USB Audio Interface
The USB 2.0 port sends the stereo bus to your computer and returns playback to channels 11/12 through their LINE/USB switch. It is USB Audio Class 2.0 compliant, and it also works with an iPad through Apple's camera connection adapter.
Record with Cubase AI
MG XU models include download access to Steinberg's Cubase AI, a full DAW for recording, editing and mixing. Together with the USB interface it lets you record rehearsals, services or live sets directly from the MG12XU's stereo mix.
SPX Effects with 24 Programmes
The built-in SPX processor offers halls, rooms, plate, delays, vocal echo, chorus, flanger, pitch change and more, 24 programmes in all. The PARAMETER knob adjusts the selected effect, and an optional FC5 foot switch turns the effect on and off hands-free.
Groups, AUX Sends and Channel Processing
Two group buses and two AUX sends with PRE switches handle sub-mixes and monitor feeds, with AUX 2 shared as the effects send. Each mono channel has a 1-knob compressor, 26 dB pad, 80 Hz high-pass filter and three-band EQ with a 2.5 kHz mid.
Internal Power Supply on the MG12XU Mixer
A built-in universal power supply runs on 100-240 V mains with a standard AC cord, and the powder-coated metal chassis weighs 4.2 kg. An optional RK-MG12 kit lets you mount the console in a rack.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the MG12XU and the MG12X?
Only the USB audio interface and the Cubase AI download. The MG12X has the same channels, effects, groups and AUX sends but cannot connect to a computer.
Should I choose the MG12XU or the MG12XUK?
The MG12XU has faders, two group buses, two AUX sends, PFL and an internal power supply. The MG12XUK uses rotary knobs, has six combo mic/line channels, one FX/AUX send and an external PA-10 adaptor, in a shallower 3.0 kg body.
Can I record each channel separately?
No. The USB interface is 2-in/2-out, so it records the stereo mix and plays back a stereo signal. For multitrack recording, look at the MGX12 or MGX16 digital mixers.
What comes in the box?
Yamaha lists the AC power cord, Owner's Manual, Technical Specifications and Cubase AI download information. The RK-MG12 rack-mount kit and FC5 foot switch are optional.
Will it work with my phone or iPad?
Yamaha states that MG XU models work with an iPad (2 or later) through the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit or Lightning to USB Camera Adapter. It also connects to a computer over USB.
