The MG10XU offers 4 XLR channels with 3 band EQ, two of which feature 1-Knob Compression, as well as 4 mono and 3 stereo line inputs. In addition to balanced main and headphone outputs, MG10 also features Monitor and Aux(FX) Send outputs for added flexibility. Add to all of this a 24-bit USB Audio Interface and the powerful SPX Digital Multi Effect Processor, and the MG10XU is a perfect mixer for practice spaces, acoustic venues, and of coarse the electronic musician or keyboard player who deserves total control to mix their many components.

Optimized Steel Chassis
Starting with the chassis, you will see that quality is the heart of the matter. The steel powder-coated and impact resistant chassis offers a compact and contoured design, which optimizes the way heat is moved away from the components to lower operating temperatures. In this new layout the power supply is separated from analog circuit to reduce noise, which also extends the life of internal components. This all protects the upgraded glass-substrate circuit board, which increases flexibility, protecting circuit integrity under stress.

D-PRE Preamps
The preamp is where sound creation begins, and ultimately determines the character and quality of your overall mix. The importance of this critical first step inspired Yamaha to develop the most fat and warm sounding preamps possible—their newly refined D-PRE mic preamps. Initially intended for use with Yamaha's high-end recording gear, these studio-grade, discrete Class-A mic preamps employ an inverted Darlington circuit design that features multiple circuitry elements in a multi-layered configuration in order to deliver more power with lower impedance. This means all the character, depth and feel of your original signal will be delivered with fat, natural sounding bass and smooth, soaring highs. Rediscover a favorite mic or trusted instrument by capturing the full range of your musical expression with sound that you don't hear, so much as feel. With 48V phantom power for each channel and a sound that is incomparable in a compact mixer today, these studio-grade discrete Class-A mic preamps set the MGP apart, clearly defining a class all its own.

Capture the Performance
Not only is a download code for Cubase AI included with the MG Series, but this is a 24-bit/192kHZ USB audio Class 2.0 compliant, 2 in and 2 out audio interface, ensuring the performance is captured in pristine digital quality. As an added bonus, MG mixers are compatible with camera connection kit or lightning to USB camera adapter for playback and recording with your favorite iOS devices.

1-Knob Compressors
Originally a Yamaha innovation, 1-knob compression is now a popular feature on an increasing number of compact mixing consoles with good reason. These intelligent compressors add optimally set compression to a wide variety of input sources with the touch of a single control—minus the hassle of setting up and configuring complex outboard gear. The MG features Yamaha's newly upgraded 1-knob compressors that feature LED indicators allowing you to visually monitor when the compression "kicks in" on each channel.

More SPX Effect Presets
While previous MG mixers offered 16 SPX presets, Yamaha has added 8 new presets, including Delay, Symphonic LFO, Tremolo LFO, Early Reference, Gate Reverb, Radio Voice, and Pitch Change. With this wide array of presets to choose from, creatively tailoring the perfect mix has never been so easy or fun.
