The Evolution of Analog
When it comes to audio engineering and sound reinforcement, the
verdict is in—nothing beats the warmth and musicality of analog sound.
By incorporating state-of-the-ar t digital technologies into the
development process of our premium professional analog equipment, the
MGP is the next step in the evolution of compact professional mixers.
D-PRE
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 us to develop the most fat and warm
sounding preamps possible—our 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 favourite 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.
X-pressive EQ
Everyone knows vintage EQ sounds great—but not everyone knows why.
Throughout the development of the innovative VCM (Virtual Circuit
Modeling) effects used in our high-end professional digital mixers, we
became increasingly focused on reproducing the warmth and musicality of
classic vintage EQs. It was through our precise modeling of the original
circuitry of some of the most sought-after EQ modules from the past
that we discovered a characteristic “X-shape” of the frequency curves
that was unique to these units— and would ultimately prove essential to
unlocking real vintage authenticity. More than just a means of tweaking
your mix, the precise response and very steep shelving of the high and
low frequencies make the X-pressive EQ a powerful sound-shaping tool
that essentially redefines the role that EQ plays in sound
reinforcement. Never before has an audio engineer's contribution to the
overall sound been so significant, with X-pressive EQ providing complete
control of every aspect of your sonic palette.
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 MGP
features our newly upgraded 1-knob compressors that feature LED
indicators allowing you to visually monitor when the compression “kicks
in” on each channel.
Metal Chassis
Durability is simply not an issue with the MGP. With a rugged,
impact-resistant, powder-coated steel chassis, the MGP is more than
ready for the rigours of road abuse. The sleek design of the chassis is
contoured for optimal convection cooling, further extending the lifetime
of the components inside, while the internal layout separates the power
supply from the analog circuitry for superior noise reduction. What's
more, knob control placement above the surface of the chassis ensures
that any impact or pressure on the knobs will be absorbed by the chassis
and not the circuit board or potentiometers underneath.
Internal Universal Power Supply
You can plug in with confidence in any region with 100V-240V power
thanks to our highly-efficient internal universal power supply. With its
multi-voltage design, the MGP ensures worry-free operation in
potentially damaging environments with fluctuating power levels. An
Internal power supply also simplifies rack mounting of the console at
installed applications, with no use for a bulky adapter or additional
connections.
Integrated Rack Ears
With integrated rack ears, the MGP easily meets the demands of both
installed and portable applications providing safe, stable protection
for your console. Extremely durable, their sleek, attractive design
instantly gives you the option of a rack-mounted or desk-top
configuration, with hassle-free setup saving you time and effort.
A Revolution in Digital
The MGP is the realization of a new approach towards the utilization
of digital technologies in a mixer, offering simple, analog-style
control of sophisticated DSP functions. One of the most compelling
features of analog gear is the direct, hands-on, intuitive operation
that unites the operator with the console. The MGP sought to keep this
feel consistent throughout the design to offer a wealth of
functionality, yet with a simple, familiar touch.
Hybrid Channel - More Than Just Digital... it's Hybrid -
40 years of experience working with professional mixers has led
Yamaha to offer a new way of approaching sound reinforcement in the
digital age: the Stereo Hybrid Channel. Beneath the analog-style knobs
and encoders of MGP Series mixing consoles lies a sophisticated digital
control system—a fusion that combines traditional analog feel with the
functionality that only digital technology can offer. The MGP Series
utilizes a powerful, proprietary DSP to provide three essential features
that are staples of both installed and live sound applications. In
keeping with the theme of analog simplicity found throughout the MGP
Series design, each of these functions is readily accessible and
available at the touch of a button. Featuring a mid-sweep, three-band EQ
for nuanced sound control and high-performance onboard A/D and D/A
converters, the Stereo Hybrid Channel offers unique functionality with
superior sound.
- Priority Ducker
An invaluable feature for applications that require both public-speaking and background music, Priority Ducker allows a microphone to take priority over another sound source automatically, just by speaking into the mic. Stop talking and the other sound source is brought back to its original level, therefore no console operator is required for this simple yet valuable function. You can even adjust the ducker attenuation of sound source depending on your preferences.
- Leveler
This intelligent compressor “auto levels” different tracks from a sound source that vary in volume, providing a more pleasurable listening experience. Ideal for small events with un-manned operation of your console, Yamaha's proprietary DSP algorithm allows for extended play time without the worry of fluctuating volume levels distracting your listeners.
- The Stereo Image
The Stereo Image function seamlessly narrows the pan balance of the stereo sound source so that audiences spread over a wide area can enjoy a comfortably blended mix. This is particularly helpful for installed sound applications that requires background music. Using either of the two optimized settings—MONO and BLEND— Stereo Image ensures that everyone is in the "sweet spot" by providing a more optimally mixed sound to the entire space.

Dual Digital Effects - Advanced REV-X and Classic SPX -
MGP Series mixing consoles offer two separate studio-grade effects
processors for ultimate enhancement of your sound, with simple intuitive
control. Yamaha's high-end REV-X reverb offers three very musical and
natural high-resolution reverb effects: Hall, Room and Plate—a first for
any Yamaha analog mixer. For more sound-shaping possibilities, Yamaha's
renowned SPX digital multi-effect processor provides a useful selection
of 16 advanced digital effects with editable parameters. Both
processors can be used simultaneously, giving you a vast array of tools
to colour your sound.

simple and intuitive graphic display, MGP Editor gives you additional,
detailed control of your REV-X and SPX effects parameters-as well as
Hybrid Channel's Priority Ducker, Leveler and iPod/iPhone's playback
settings. With MGP32X and 24X, setting of GEQ and Master comp can be
adjusted. Direct playback of iTunes play list is also possible.
Graphic EQ
The new Graphic EQ feature 14 band and flex 9 band modes that can
easily be controlled via internal display. This Flex EQ is also used in
Yamaha’s pro-level CL series consoles. By limiting the number of bands
for boost and cut, the extra DSP can be employed to narrow the filters
to 1/3 octave, and allow the user to sweep the filter to the range where
adjustment is required. With 31 different filter positions, very fine
adjustments can be made. Additionally, finding and reducing feedback is
quick and easy using the offset/gain controls to point out vulnerable
frequencies before the feedback occurs.
Multi-band Compressor
The MGP32X and MGP24X are the first mixers in this class to be
equipped with a master compressor on the stereo bus. Both a standard
type (COMP) and a three-band divided (Multi-band) master compressor have
been built in. Using a master compressor allows you to reduce the
overall dynamic range of the signal to fit the environment, and protect
the sound system from overloads. A total of 8 memory scenes (3 read only
and 5 user defined) allow settings to easily be stored and recalled as
needed quickly.
High-Quality Digital Playback
The MGP Series mixers feature a built-in USB port to connect and
charge your iPod or iPhone for seamless playback with a single
connection. A direct digital connection offers a much higher level of
quality with more detail and clarity than typical analog inputs can
