YAMAHA MG206C-USB: 20 INPUT STEREO MIXER with
USB OUT!
DIRECT DIGITAL RECORDING Capability via USB
......
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.

| Comprehensive, Easy Access Connector Panel: |
 |
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. |
| |
| Sixteen 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 Yamaha MG Series mixer inherits technology from Yamaha's
top-line professional consoles, and have been painstakingly designed to
deliver superior sonic performance with any dynamic or condenser microphone.
All four microphone preamps also feature switchable phantom power so you
can take advantage of the natural, extended response of high-quality condenser
microphones. A single switch turns phantom power on or off for all four
channels. |
| 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 series 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. |
| 3-Band Channel EQ and High-Pass Filter: |
| 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 MG Series mixer: all
mono channels feature 3-band equalizers with LOW, MID, and HIGH controls.
Depending on the model, some or all of the stereo channels have 2-band EQ
for smooth equalization of stereo sources. 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. |
| Effect/Aux 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. |
| OUTPUTS : Stereo, Control Room, Monitor,
and Headphone |
 |
| Located above the mixer's master
controls, on the convenient easy-access connector panel, are the main stereo
output connectors, phone-jack monitor output connectors, pin-jack recording
outputs, and a stereo headphone jack. They may be compact, but these mixers
offer plenty of connectivity for a wide range of applications. |
| Bright Meters for Visual Level Monitoring: |
| Accurate visual level monitoring can help you achieve maximum signal-to-noise
ratio without distortion. The MG mixer's bright, easy-to-read multi-segment
LED meters make it easy to control system levels for optimum overall performance. |
