INTRODUCTION

We’re using Neutrik™ connectors in the new models,
and have completely redesigned the faders as well. We
used CT scans for non-destructive structural analysis,
and as a result have even employed a new type of
grease for super-smooth operation.

New Environmentally Safe Finish
Mr. Tashiro:
It looks as though the new models had a different type
of finish.
Mr. Nishizawa:
That’s right. This time we used a powder finish that
significantly cuts VOC usage.

We got the heads of the new MG mixer design, product planning, and marketing divisions
together to hear what they had to say about the genesis of this remarkable series.
The Yamaha Advantage
Mr. Tashiro:
For us the new MG series had to be more than just “new.” It
had to deliver meaningful features and performance that
actually meet or exceed the customer’s needs and, as always,
that turned out to be a difficult process.
Mr. Tanaka (Iggy):
We started by researching the ways that the previous models
were being used throughout the world, and ended up with 10
models that comprehensively satisfied the real-world use
requirements.
Mr. Nonaka:
This applies to all of our products, but the size of the Yamaha
organization contributes to high product quality in a number
of ways. There’s the direct legacy from the PM series analog
mixers, as well as technology developed for our digital
products ranging from synthesizers to digital mixing consoles.
And there’s a healthy atmosphere of competition in each
department that contributes to continued technological
growth. This is all part of our
strength as a general soundrelated manufacturer.
Mr. Tashiro:
We maintain the same
quality standards from PMseries consoles costing tens
or even hundreds of
thousands of dollars right
down to mixers like the MG
series models that cost only
a few hundred dollars.

2

They’re all made at the same factory. We built one of the
largest and most advanced electromagnetic emission testing
facilities in the industry
in the same area as the
design department, and
that has resulted in a
huge improvement in
our quality control
capabilities.

Parts Selection
Mr. Nonaka:
Every operational amplifier, transistor, and capacitor we use
is chosen for high sound quality and reliability. In analog
mixers like the MG series, we’re able to take advantage of
the expertise we’ve acquired through many years as leaders
in the field, while applying the most advanced circuit design
tools available today.
While other manufacturers use outsourced, general
purpose DSP chips, we develop our own DSP chip the
most suitable for our needs. That translates into unbeatable
cost versus performance.
Mr. Tashiro:
I’m sure that there are always difficulties, but what were
some of the obstacles encountered in creating the new MG
series?
Mr. Nonaka:
As always, achieving the required standard of quality was
the main issue. We use the same quality testing standards
that apply to consoles costing tens of thousands of dollars,

and that’s a tough challenge for models that will sell for
just a few hundred dollars. The pressure is on us,
designers and hardware engineers. But unless we can
overcome the quality issues without compromise, the
product cannot be released.
Mr. Nishizawa:
For example, some manufacturers promote the fact that
they use a high-quality microphone preamp, but then
they use cheap circuitry in the following stages that
negates any sonic benefits the preamp might offer. In
the MG series we’ve made sure that parts and circuitry
are optimally selected and matched throughout. Just the
fact that a design uses high-quality parts doesn’t
guarantee that the overall
performance will be
correspondingly high. An
appropriate balance must
be found through trial
and error and actual
listening tests.
Mr. Tanaka (Iggy):
Another advantage of being a world-wide organization is
that parts can be sourced from the many branches we
maintain in various locations around the world, plus the
fact that we have access to parts acquired for other
products such as electronic musical instruments. This
means that for the same cost Yamaha can use parts that are
a rank above those available to other manufacturers.
Mr. Nishizawa:
That’s very true. Our motto is to make affordable products,
but never “cheap” products. And since we have access to
such high-quality parts we are able to maintain the same
level of quality that the pros expect in our most expensive
console in affordable mixers like the new MG models.

Mr. Tashiro:
“VOC” stands for “Volatile Organic Compounds,” right?
Come to think of it, we’ve always tried to be easy on the
environment. Of course we’ve cleared the very strict
new European standards.
Mr. Nishizawa:
The special metallic blue finish used on the new MG models
was developed in cooperation with specialist powder finish
manufacturer. This powder finish is extremely durable
compared to standard liquid finishes. It will last for a long
time. Whereas with liquid coating equipment about 70
percent of the material evaporates into the air as volatile
organic compounds, powder coating equipment produces
essentially no VOC pollution. The panel of a mixer is subject
to constant handling, and the extra durability of the power
coating prevents wear and damage from sweat, cosmetics,
and a range of other common causes of damage.

Control Layout and Feel
Mr. Tashiro:
We also redesigned the knobs, and significantly improved
readability and feel.
Mr. Tanaka:
Right. The powder finish made it necessary to increase the
size of the lettering, which resulted in better readability.
Mr. Nishizawa:
The meters are brighter, too. We used high-output LEDs
that are easy to read even outdoors on a bright day.
There are no other mixers in this class that offer
separate multi-colored meters for different functions.
Mr. Tanaka (Iggy):
Yes, I remember everyone crowding around one of the
new mixers to check out the meters in a bright section of
the corridor.

Mr. Tashiro:
In many cases other manufacturers claim “heavy duty” or
“high-reliability” as an excuse for the fact that they went with
manufacture-friendly heavy-gauge steel and readily available
oversized parts. But here at Yamaha we have access to the
latest analysis tools that allow us to achieve superior strength
in more refined designs, as well as source smaller parts of
higher quality from all over the world. The trend towards
smaller and lighter products is obvious in the latest
computers and personal music players. This points to a
fundamental growth in technology that reflects the needs of
the market, and does not require any compromises in sound
quality. Our small, lightweight mixers deliver the same sonic
quality as our professional PM-series consoles. People want
utility mixers to be small and light while sounding great, and
that’s just what the MG mixers provide.
Mr. Tanaka (Iggy):
So these are products that strike a perfect balance between
cost and performance. There’s absolutely nothing “cheap”
about them in any way. By the way, what kind of durability
testing do the mixers undergo?
Mr. Nagai:
We begin with number crunching on the computers,
comparing different metals and manufacturing methods,
and end up with the inevitable durability testing of the
actual product. There are many tests we employ, but the
main process involves an impact test, a secondary
transportation test, a drop test (we drop the packaged
product from a height of 74 centimeters), a vibration test,
and finally another impact test. The current one-piece rackmount chassis design has passed all of these tests, and
patents are pending.

Weight, Strength and Durability
Design
Mr. Tanaka:
At that point there were continuous product design
requests. Every time a strength issue was found, the
design had to be revised. It was a very tiring period. I
remember re-drawing the rack ear screw contact area
many, many times.
Mr. Tashiro:
I seem to remember people running up and down the
corridors quite frequently at that particular time.
Mr. Tanaka:
We ended up with four, and added reinforcement at that
point that resulted in a sleek look while making the unit
easy to carry. The latest analysis tools have enabled us to
see that although it provides more contact area with the
rack, the normal straight configuration is actually weaker
in several ways. The rack-mount models having 16 or
more channels were particularly challenging, and we were
delighted when all the elements finally fell into place and
we had a good-looking design that was also easy to carry.

Mr. Tashiro:
This is just about the right weight for hand carrying.
Mr. Tanaka (Iggy):
That’s a very important point in a utility mixer.
Mr. Nagai:
It’s easy to achieve sufficient strength if you use steel or
other heavy metals, but since the MG mixers were
intended for utility use, we had to consider the portability
and handling aspects. What’s more, if you give priority to
rack mounting in the rack-mountable models that have 16
or more channels, you end up with strength problems. But
if you add reinforcing ribs you’re faced with manufacturing
problems. So we went back to the design and repeated
structural analysis until we had a body with the ideal
combination of design and strength.

Although each member of the MG design team clearly
has individual goals within the project, the team is
thoroughly united in terms of motivation and
“Yamaha Vision.” The confidence they convey is a
good indication that the new MG-series mixers offer
something special to users who are serious about
sound and quality.

MG SERIES

An Impressive Lineup with a Common Theme—Unmatched Quality and Performance

FEATURES

Whether you have a mixing applications that involves only a few channels, or up to 32 inputs with substantial signal routing versatility,
Yamaha’s MG-series offers a console that will give you the capacity, control, and performance you deserve. All models are remarkably
compact and lightweight for superior handling and portability, but absolutely no compromises have been made in terms of features,
performance, or durability. The MG mixers offer an extraordinary blend of technology: some inherited from professional Yamaha mixing
consoles you’re likely to see in distinguished halls throughout the world, and some developed specifically to deliver optimum
performance in the MG-console format. In either case these performance-packed mixers are founded on a world-spanning network of
human and technological resources that crystallize to deliver features that really matter, and sound that is undeniably superior.

Lightweight, Portable Designs
Designing a lightweight mixer is not too difficult,
but designing a lightweight, compact mixer that
delivers serious performance is another matter. The
Yamaha design team went to extraordinary lengths
in the MG series, including in-depth material and
structural analysis, to bring you maximum
manageability and maximum performance in the
same packages. The result is that you can easily pop
the smallest models into your briefcase or shoulder
bag and take with you anywhere. Even the larger
models can be tucked under an arm and carried
around quite easily. But the performance you’ll get at
the studio, club, hall, or
anywhere you choose
to use these fine mixers
is far from lightweight.
Every one of the MGseries mixers provides
significant space
savings along with
huge performance
benefits.

Built-in Channel Compressors

This advanced feature can be a tremendous advantage
in achieving great vocal sound, as well as to refine the
sound of bass, guitar, and other sources. You won’t find
built-in channel compression on too many other mixers
in this class, but in the new MG mixers you have
Yamaha’s innovative one-knob compression feature on
several of the mono input channels. Conventional audio
compressors with their threshold, ratio, knee, makeup
gain and other controls can be complex and timeconsuming to set appropriately for a given source.
Yamaha’s one-knob compressor eliminates the need for
an engineering degree with a single control that lets you
simply dial in the amount of compression you want.

Versatile Connectivity and
Pro-class Connectors
Top-mounted input and output connectors make
setting up and re-patching your system quick and
easy. All models feature high-quality Neutrik™
balanced XLR connectors on mono microphone/line
channels and XLR-equipped stereo channels. These
professional-class connectors were subjected to
extensive testing by the Yamaha design team, and
were chosen for the MG mixers for their superior
reliability and sonic qualities. The XLR-equipped stereo
channels can accept mono microphone input either
via the XLR or phone jack connectors. The remaining
stereo channels provide phone jack and pin jack
connectors for compatibility with a wide range of
sources. Mono input channels also feature insert I/O
connectors that let you
patch external signal
processing gear into
those channels as
required. Separate pinjack 2TR inputs are
provided to accept the
output from a CD
player or similar stereo
source.

4

High-performance Microphone
Preamplifiers with
Switchable Phantom Power
Microphone preamplifiers are critical in any mixer,
and a performance bottleneck in many. That’s why
pros often spend thousands of dollars on just a single
channel of microphone pre-amplification. The
microphone preamps built into the MG mixers inherit
technology from Yamaha’s top-line professional
consoles, and have been painstakingly designed to
deliver superior sonic performance with any dynamic
or condenser microphone. Gain trim covers a wide 60dB ~ -16dB range for microphones (-34dB ~ +10dB
for line input), so you’ll be able to achieve optimum
level matching with just about any source. All
microphone preamps also feature
switchable phantom power so you
can take advantage of the natural,
extended response of high-quality
condenser microphones.

3-band Channel EQ and
High-pass Filters
Building a truly useful, musical-sounding channel
equalizer is no easy task, but Yamaha has
decades of experience in building pro consoles
to draw on. You reap the benefits in the MGseries mixers: all mono channels feature 3-band
equalizers with LOW, MID, and HIGH controls.
Depending on the model some of all of the
stereo channels have 2-band EQ for smooth
equalization of stereo sources.

Aux/Effect Sends
All models except the MG82CX have from one to
three AUX sends for convenient to processing and
monitor systems. Master send controls are also
provided, as are RETURN level controls for the
AUX and STEREO busses. “CX” models have
EFFECT send controls on all channels that adjust
the level of the signal sent from the
corresponding channel to the mixer’s internal
multi-effect system. The same signal can also be
sent to external effect processors via the mixer’s
EFFECT SEND jack.

Two, Four or Six Buses
(Stereo and Group)
The smallest models in the lineup—the MG82CX
and MG102C—have a single stereo bus (i.e. two
mono buses). All other models additionally feature
one or two stereo group buses and outputs that
can be used for convenient channel grouping.
Assign switches for the stereo and group buses are
located next to each channel fader.

Smooth 60-millimeter Faders &
Illuminated Channel ON Switches

Bright Meters
for Visual Level Monitoring

While the MG82CX and MG102C feature rotary
faders, channel and master level control on all
other models is accomplished via reliable, highperformance 60-millimeter linear faders that
provide smooth,
noise-free operation.
When you have more
than a few channels
the direct visual
indication of relative
level settings can be
an important
advantage. Models
with linear faders
also feature illuminated channel
ON switches that can be used to
individually add or remove
channels from the mix without
having to change the positions of
the channel faders.

Accurate visual level monitoring can
help you achieve maximum signal-tonoise ratio without distortion. The MG
mixer’s bright, easy-to-read multisegment LED meters make it easy to
control system levels for optimum
overall performance.

Optional Mic Stand Mount for the
MG82CX and MG102C
Both the MG82CX and MG102C
can be mounted on a microphone
stand for optimal positioning and
easy access using the optional
BMS-10A Mic Stand Adaptor. This
can be particularly handy when
using one of them as a sub-mixer
for drums or as a cue box in recording situations.

Easy Operation

Although not directly related to the equalizer
circuitry, all inputs also feature 80 Hz low-pass
filters that can be used to eliminate subsonic noise
that is outside the equalizers’ range.

All switches, controls, and displays have been designed
and laid out for intuitive access and smooth, reliable
operation with positive tactile and visual feedback.

Built-in Digital Effects
(“CX” Models)
There’s an astonishing
amount of signal processing
power packed into the
compact chassis of the
MG “CX” mixers.
They incorporate a versatile
digital multi-effect processor
that provides a range of
reverb, delay, modulation,
and distortion programs you
can use to refine and define
your sound. Each of the
16 effect programs has a
number of editable
parameters as well as effect
on/off switching capability
and return level control. You
can even blend the effects
into the aux sends for “wet”
monitoring, so the
performers can hear the
effects too. If you need to
keep both hands free to
play an instrument or
perform other operations, an
optional footswitch can be
connected to the mixer’s
effect footswitch jack for
convenient on/off switching.

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). The remaining eight
channels on both mixers are configured as four stereo
channels, two of which 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. All mono input channels feature
insert I/O patch 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.

In the MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX you have not one, but two
high- performance 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.

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.

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.All mic preamps feature switchable +48V
phantom power for phantom-powered studio condenser
microphones. Phantom power is switchable in 8- channel groups.

Mono channels feature 3-band equalizers with HIGH (10 kHz),
LOW (100 Hz), and MID (250 Hz ~ 5 kHz sweep) bands. Highpass 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.

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 sub-mixes 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.

Balanced XLR Stereo and Mono Outputs
Plus Comprehensive Output Connectors
Professional connectivity is provided by reliable XLR- type balanced
stereo and mono outputs. 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. Phone-jack group outputs are also
provided to allow independent output of the group bus mixes.

Other Important Features
■ -60dB ~ -16dB gain trim for microphone input,
and -34dB ~ +10dB for line input.
* Peak indicators for accurate input gain setup.

■ Reliable 60-millimeter faders and illuminated
switches.
■ 80 ~ 120 Hz sweepable Mono Out LPF for
convenient subwoofer feed.
■ 12-segment meters for accurate visual
monitoring.
■ Talkback input.
