Yamaha MGP12X - Analog mixer with dual DSP FX - 12-channel - rack-mountable

Yamaha MGP12X analog mixer - 12-channel

Key Features and Benefits: Sophisticated analog circuits D-PRE (discrete Class-A MIC preamp) Mono input channels are equipped with Class-A discrete microphone preamplifiers. The head amplifier features an inverted circuit used in advanced audio devices, and reproduces low frequencies with exceptional musical characteristics as well as sustained high frequencies. It uses an amplifying method for eliminating the nonlinear characteristics of the amplifier element and suppressing the distortion. The circuit features highly musical phase characteristics. EQ (equalizer) The shelving EQ (low / high) on the mono input channels features Xpressive EQ, which effectively models analog EQ utilizing Yamaha's VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) technology. Furthermore, the cutoff frequency can also be adjusted, enhancing use of the EQ in sound reinforcement applications, and extending the sonic control range of the mixer. Digital effects - REV-X and SPX Two powerful digital effect blocks are built into the mixer: REV-X (8 types) and SPX (16 types). REV-X gives you a high-density, richly reverberant sound ambience, with smooth attenuation, spread and depth that work together to enhance the original sound. The versatile SPX block features a variety of effect applications, such as reverb, delay, and modulation effects, along with complex combinations of multiple effects. Convenient, practical functions for events - Ducker, Leveler, and Stereo Image The mixer features three exceptionally convenient features for the stereo input channels: Ducker, Leveler and Stereo Image. The Ducker function automatically lowers the level of background music to accommodate the voice of an announcer coming in on another channel. The Leveler function automatically maintains a consistent sound volume, even when using sound sources that have different mastering levels. Stereo Image narrows the pan balance of the stereo sound source, and changes stereo signals to mono. This is useful in restaurants and other spaces where the left and right speakers are distantly positioned, or when you input accompaniment sound to the left channel and vocal sound to the right and want a more natural stereo image. USB port for playing and charging your music player or smartphone The mixer has a built-in USB port (at top) for connection to a music player / smartphone. Digital audio output from the music player / smartphone can be directly input to the unit, and the music player / smartphone can be charged while connected.
