Yamaha is no newcomer to mixing console design. You'll find Yamaha
consoles in some of the most respected live venues and production
studios in the world. In fact, Yamaha has been innovating, leading, and
in many ways defining the development of modern mixing consoles for
more than 30 years.
And now they are proud to introduce the Yamaha MG-series mixing
consoles, featuring eight models ranging in size from a small
8-channel/2-bus unit right up to a very flexible 32-channel/14-bus type
with an impressive selection of built-in effects. No matter what your
application – from production to sound reinforcement – there's a Yamaha
MG mixer that will give you everything need … and more. There have been
no compromises. These mixers are built for great sound, total control,
and superior reliability. In fact, they undergo the same rigorous
quality and reliability tests as Yamaha's world-class PM-series mixing
consoles. But, by taking full advantage of the latest Yamaha technology
and manufacturing techniques, Yamaha has been able to pack these
superlative mixers with more value than you'll find anywhere else. In
short, they offer extraordinary performance and mixing power at
remarkable prices.
If you need a high-performance analog mixer for music production or
sound reinforcement, the Yamaha MG Series is the first – and last –
place you should look.

Product Features
Serious Capacity
For Sound Reinforcement & Installations
If your application is live sound reinforcement you'll want all the
channel capacity you can get – just in case. Vocal mics, instrument
mics, stereo keyboards, direct-injection feeds, drum mics, and the rest
can add up very quickly. With 24 and 32 input channels, respectively,
the MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX are ready to handle all but the most
ambitious sound-reinforcement setups. And with dual SPX digital effect
systems on-board you won't need racks of outboard gear to get the sound
you need. There's also a comprehensive range of group and auxiliary
busses to make even complex mixes easy.
INPUT SECTION
24 or 32 Input
Channels
Choose either the 24-channel MG24/14FX or the 32-channel MG32/14FX
according to your needs. All other features are the same. The MG24/14FX
has 16 mono microphone/line channels while the MG32/14FX has 24. Both
offer four stereo line channels in addition to the mono mic/line
channels. Gain trim covers a wide – 60dB ~; -16dB range for microphone
input, and -34dB ~; +10dB for line input. Peak indicators are also
provided for effect input gain setup.
A Variety of Input
Connectors
Balanced XLR and phone-jack connectors are provided on all mono inputs
(channels 1 ~; 16 on the MG24/14FX, and channels 1 ~; 24 on the
MG32/14FX). Two of the stereo channels feature both pin-jack and phone
jack connectors. A separate stereo 2TR input with pin-jack connectors
is provided for independent input of signals from CD players or similar
sources.
Low-noise,
High-precision Mic Preamps
All 16 mic preamps in the MG24/14FX and all 24 mic preamps in the
MG32/14FX are of exemplary quality. They offer low-noise, transparent
amplification with the widest possible range of dynamic and condenser
microphones, which adds up to cleaner, better-sounding mixes.
Switchable Phantom
Power
All mic preamps feature switchable +48V phantom power for
phantom-powered studio condenser microphones. Phantom power is
switchable in 8-channel groups.
Insert I/O
points so you can insert compressors, EQ, or other extra
signal-processing gear into the channel signal path as required. Insert
patch points are also provided on the stereo and group buses for
effective output processing.
Versatile EQ for
Effective Sound Shaping
Mono channels feature 3-band equalizers with HIGH (10 kHz), LOW (100
Hz), and MID (250 Hz ~; 5 kHz sweep) bands. High-pass filters are also
provided on all microphone inputs. Stereo channels have 4-band
equalizers with HIGH (10 kHz shelving), HI MID (3 kHz peaking), LOW MID
(800 Hz peaking), and LOW (100 Hz shelving) bands.
MASTER SECTION
14 Buses In All
For Flexible Signal Routing
In addition to lots of input channels, live sound reinforcement
applications usually demand a number of additional mixes – usually in
the form of group submixes and aux sends for external signal processing
and monitor mixes. In both the MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX you have a total
of 14 mix buses: the main stereo program bus, four stereo group bus
pairs for convenient channel grouping, six auxiliary busses (four
configurable for pre- or post-fader operation and two set up as effect
sends), and two internal effect busses that feed the dual
high-performance built-in effect processors. You can use the bus select
switches and controls on each channel to assign the channel signal to
the stereo, group, internal effect, and AUX buses as required.
Six Aux Sends
& Two Stereo Aux Returns
All input channels feature six AUX send controls. AUX sends 1 through 4
are pre/post switchable while AUX 5 and 6 are post-fader sends. Two
effect sends are also provided. You choose you have plenty of
flexibility for external signal processing and monitoring in live
sound-reinforcement applications. Two stereo auxiliary returns are
included, as well as return facilities for the internal effect stages.
A Comprehensive
Selection Of Output Connectors
In addition to the main L and R XLR and phone-jack stereo outputs,
these versatile mixers also offer L and R phone-jack sub-stereo,
pin-jack recording, XLR mono, and stereo phone-jack headphone outputs.
You have plenty of outputs for a wide range of applications –
monitoring, master recorder feed, etc. Phone-jack group outputs are
also provided to allow independent output of the group bus mixes.
Balanced XLR
Stereo and Mono Outputs
Professional connectivity is provided by reliable XLRtype balanced
stereo and mono outputs.
Sweepable LPF for
Mono Out
One of the many uses for a mono output is to drive a subwoofer system.
The MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX make this easier than ever with a built-in
80 ~; 120 Hz sweepable low-pass filter on the mono outputs.
12-segment Meters
for Accurate Visual Monitoring
Output level monitoring is made accurate and easy with four
high-visibility 12-segment level meters that can be switched to display
the stereo, group, 2TR input, PFL (Pre-fader Listen), and AFL
(After-fader Listen) signal levels.
EASE OF USE
Dual SPX Digital
Effects
In the MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX you have not one, but two
highperformance digital signal processing stages, fed by separate
effect buses, so you can enhance your mix with two separate effects at
the same time. And the effects are provided by the very latest Yamaha
DSP technology – you know you're getting the best. Each stage provides
a selection of 16 professional quality SPX digital effects, including
reverb, delay, pitch change, chorus, phasing, vocal doubling,
distortion, and more. Parameter controls that can be adjusted to tailor
the effects to your sonic requirement are also provided and Tap delay
makes it easy to produce tempo-synchronized delays.
Reliable
60-millimeter Faders & Illuminated Switches
Reliable, high-performance 60-millimeter faders provide smooth,
noise-free level control. while original Yamaha illuminated ON (ST buss
assign), PFL (Pre-Fader Listen), and phantom power switches provide
easy visual confirmation of critical console settings.
Talkback Input
Communication capability is important for efficient setup as well as
for keeping a show running smoothly. The MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX both
feature a talkback system that allows the FOH engineer to communicate
with the monitor engineer, performers, or other staff to keep the team
operating at optimum efficiency.
Compact, Portable
Design
Compact and surprisingly light in weight, these mixers can easily be
carried just about anywhere. You get top quality mixing performance in
the rehearsal studio, club, outdoors … wherever you need it.
