MIXING GETS PERSONAL: YAMAHA DEBUTS MG SERIES
ANALOG CONSOLES
—Six Models Offer 10-32 Mixing Channels—
ANAHEIM, CA—In response to the growing small-to-midsized
sound reinforcement market—where demand for smaller-format
analog mixing consoles remains strong—Yamaha Professional
Audio will debut the MG Series audio mixers at Winter NAMM 2003.
User applications include project studios, classrooms, houses
of worship, board rooms, personal monitoring and submixing.
The MG series, a refinement of Yamaha’s MX and GF brands,
includes six models that feature from 10-32 maximum mixing channels.
All products will ship in the February through May 2003 timeframe.
Input configurations include 4-24 mono channels with three-band
EQ, and a maximum of four stereo inputs with either three- or
four-band EQ. Higher-end models come equipped with a two or
four GROUP and STEREO output buss structure.
Mono channel inputs contain both mic level XLR-type connectors
and line level unbalanced TRS phone jacks. Stereo input channels
are equipped with both unbalanced phone jacks and RCA phono
jacks.
"With increased sales and falling price points of digital
mixers in the marketplace, customers looking for small-format
analog models often have to sacrifice features," states
Wayne Hrabak, marketing manager, Professional Audio. "The
MG line not only goes against that line of thought, but also
shows that Yamaha still believes in the viability of the analog
format."
From two to a maximum of eight AUX sends provide extended
signal routing, while models MG16/6FX, MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX
include high quality digital effects sections (two 32-bit SPX-type
on the 24/14FX and 32/14FX models).
"Yamaha’s name is synonymous with industry standard
large-format mixers," states John Schauer, product manager,
Professional Audio, "The MG line offers customers that
same sound quality and professional-level features in a ‘personal
mixer’ format at incredibly affordable price points."
