Yamaha AG08B 8-Channel Live Streaming Mixer – Black
By integrating more flexible I/O and USB routing options, expanded foot switch functionality, as well as additional DSP effects and improved internal circuitry for class-leading sound, the Yamaha AG08B can support an impressive depth of live streaming applications, as well as offline audio content creation.
Your Audience Awaits.
From single-user talking, gaming, ASMR, voice acting, or vocal/instrument performances, to multiple personnel applications even on the scale of a full-blown variety show, the real-world, real-time functionality of the AG08B will leave your audience wanting more.
Two Condenser Mic IN with Two Headphones OUT
Both Channel 1 and 2 of the AG08B come with phantom power to support condenser microphones. The mics are favoured amongst musicians and dialogue-driven content creators for their exceptional sensitivity and fidelity. You can also pan left and right with the AG08 Controller dedicated app for any kind of stereo microphone.
In addition, there are two independent headphone monitor channels for applications where two people are broadcasting a conversation or where there is someone other than the performers managing the audio.
Three Assignable Faders for Flexible USB IN/OUT
The signal from multiple apps on a USB-connected PC, or analog line inputs can be individually assigned to the faders for Channel 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8 of the AG08B, allowing you to intuitively mix the LINE/USB audio signals via physical control of the faders. Conversely, three USB mixed outputs from the AG08B can be individually assigned to various apps on the PC via USB connection.
Combining these functions makes it easy to respond more flexibly in real time. For example, sharing optimally mixed audio with chat partners or listeners during live chats and streaming.
What’s more, for ASIO-supported apps such as DAW software, the direct out from each input channel (Channels 1, 2, 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8) and three mixed channels can be used in parallel, enabling multi-channel recording even during live streams.
Four Effect Preset Buttons for CH1
The four effect preset buttons on the bottom left of the AG08B console allow you to seamlessly switch between customized effect presets for Channel 1 on the fly. This gives users versatile, real-time control to add just the right amount of effect.
AG08B’s Five DSP Effects
The AG08B comes equipped with high-quality effects to colour, correct, or enhance your vocal and musical instrument signals. Grouped into the five categories detailed below, all effects are processed by the onboard DSP. Therefore, there is no latency and no impact on PC processing.
- Voice Changer (CH1) / Amp Sim (CH2)
- Comp, EQ
- Reverb, Delay
- Ducker
- Maximizer
Channel 1 features a new voice changer effect that can transform your voice. Channel 2 offers an amp simulator for a more authentic guitar or bass amp sound. These, along with Comp, EQ, Reverb, and the newly added Delay, can be set independently on each channel. This allows you to dial in the optimal setting for each.
Ducker
The Ducker function works automatically to attenuate Channels 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 playback sound relative to audio input from Channels 1 and 2, so you can easily set up a streaming system where Channels 1 and 2 signals are clearly audible.
Maximizer
Finally, the Maximizer is a simple yet powerful mastering function. It can add a level boost to your mix for extra polish and professionalism. Furthermore, it attenuates peaking signals to give your listeners and viewers a more comfortable and pleasant audio experience.
Six Sound Pads
The AG08B comes equipped with six customizable sound pads. They allow you to easily add sound effects in real-time to liven up your broadcasts. Using the “AG08 Controller” dedicated app you can simply import existing sound files. Afterwards, assign them to the pad of your choice, or record your own samples via the AG08 inputs.
“AG08B Controller” provides precise control
Yamaha AG08B Controller software allows users to easily configure the DSP audio processing, sound pads and flexible routing option. Offering two modes of operation, “Simple” and “Detail”, AG08 gives users detailed management of their audio via USB.
