Yamaha MG20XU 20-Channel Mixer with USB and FX

Yamaha has always strived to provide sound engineers with the purest possible signal. Instead of adding processing or colour to give models a “signature” sound, the MG20XU instead focuses on pure clarity. MG mixing consoles deliver a level of sonic purity unmatched.

D-PRE (Discrete Class-A Mic Preamps)

Above all, everything you do as an engineer is dependent on the quality of your preamps. MG Series mixing consoles and MG20XU feature Yamaha’s studio-grade discrete class-A D-PRE preamps. These amps utilize an inverted Darlington circuit comprising two cascading transistors. They are in a configuration that provides more power with lower impedance.

The Audio You Need

The MG20XU amps deliver fat, natural bass and smooth, soaring highs, with very low distortion. D-PRE preamps possess an impressively wide frequency range that allows them to handle signals from anywhere. It does so without overly amplifying any specific elements of the sound. Having such a pure sonic platform will ultimately save you time and effort mixing.

High-Quality Sound Op-Amp

MG Series mixers feature new, high-quality, custom-made MG01 op-amps. Many other Op-amps prioritize electrical efficiency, Yamaha worked directly with the semiconductor manufacturer to focus on sound quality first. MG01 op-amps feature redesigned circuitry in which even the internal components and wiring have been optimised. They use materials such as high-quality silicon wafers and copper wire to achieve superb resolution.

Switchable Phantom Power & PAD Switch

With phantom power, MG Series consoles allow you to take full advantage of the greater frequency response and high sound quality of condenser microphones. The input channel with PAD switch accepts MIC to line level of inputs, PAD Switch attenuates high input signals that often accompany mic’d instruments during performance, avoiding the clipping that can seriously affect your mix.

MG20XU – Your sound.

Yamaha mixers are famous for their flat response and sonic purity. But often, it takes more than a perfectly-captured instrumental performance or vocal to achieve a professional mix. Equipped with some of the same state-of-the-art functionality featured on Yamaha’s high-end consoles, the MG Series gives you the tools you need to produce high-quality sound that is uniquely your own.

EQ and High-Pass Filters

There’s nothing more useful than reliable equalization when you need nuanced management of your tone. The MG Series benefits from Yamaha’s unparalleled experience in designing pro audio gear, the MG20XU features 3-band equalizers on all mono channels for precise control of your sound. A high-pass filter allows you to eliminate unwanted low-frequency noise, for a smoother, cleaner mix.

Variety of Input/Output Connectors

All models feature high-quality Neutrik™ balanced XLR connectors on mono microphone/line channels and XLR-equipped stereo channels. Also, mono inputs on the MG20XU are equipped with combo jacks. They accept both MIC and LINE-level signals. Two of the stereo inputs are equipped with XLR and two phone connectors. XLR accepts MIC level signals while two phone connectors accept LINE level signals and can be used either mono or stereo.

LED Level Metering

Additionally, you can monitor output levels precisely and easily with MG20XU’s LED level metering.

MG20XU has Built-in SPX Digital Effects

The MG20XU model features Yamaha’s acclaimed SPX digital multi-effect processor, offering a comprehensive suite of 6 digital effects perfect for enhancing your mix. Furthermore, add depth to a speaking engagement or breathe new colour and atmosphere into a live band performance.

Metal Chassis

Built to last, MG Series mixers feature a rugged, impact-resistant, powder-coated metal chassis, offering a high level of durability. With a sleek design contoured for optimal convection cooling, the internal layout separates the power supply from the analog circuitry for superior noise reduction and further extends the life of the components inside.

24-bit /192kHz 2-in/2-out USB Audio Interface Function

Additionally, MG20XU models feature digital connectivity for quick, high-resolution playback of digital content. Simply connect to your PC via USB. The USB protocol uses asynchronous data transfer. You can transfer data using the highly precise audio clock signal from the MG.

MG20XU Rec & Play

The MG Rec & Play software application enables high-quality recording. Also, fast and easy playback of songs and sound effects is possible by simply connecting your iPhone etc. Furthermore, use Rec & Play for a wide range of recording purposes or providing background music or sound effects.

Cubase AI (For Desktop)

Not only- but also MG XU models are bundled with Downloadable Steinberg’s Cubase AI software. As one of the most advanced, comprehensive DAW suites available, Steinberg’s Cubase has led the charge, providing users with a powerful and flexible platform for music production.

Cubasis LE (For iPad)

On the other hand, “Cubasis LE” is available in the App Store. You just need to connect your iPad to MG XU models to make it work. Cubasis LE is the compact version of Steinberg’s streamlined, multitouch sequencer for the iPad. It provides the same look and feel as its bigger brother Cubasis.
