Flexible12-input Configuration

TheMG124c and MG124cx both have a total of 12 input channels - four monomicrophone/line inputs and four stereo line inputs. Two of the stereo lineinputs can also function as mono microphone inputs, giving you up to sixsimultaneous mono microphone inputs when needed. Gain trim covers a wide -60dB~ -16dB range for microphone input, and -34dB ~ +10dB for line input.

Comprehensive,Easy-access Connector Panel

Top-mountedinput and output connectors make setting up and re-patching your system quickand easy. Both models feature high-quality Neutrik balanced XLR connectors onall four mono microphone/line channels and two of the stereo channels. TheXLR-equipped stereo channels can accept mono microphone input either via theXLR or phone jack connectors. The remaining stereo channels provide phone jackand pin jack connectors for compatibility with a wide range of sources. Thefour mono input channels also feature insert I/O connectors that let you patchexternal signal processing gear into those channels as required. Separatepin-jack 2TR inputs are provided to accept the output from a CD player orsimilar stereo source.

SixHigh-performance Microphone Preamplifiers with Switchable Phantom Power

Themicrophone preamplifiers in any mixer are critical to its overall performance.The microphone preamps built into the MG mixers inherit technology fromYamaha's top-line professional consoles, and have been painstakingly designedto deliver superior sonic performance with any dynamic or condenser microphone.All six microphone preamps feature switchable phantom power so you can takeadvantage of the natural, extended response of high-quality condensermicrophones. A single switch turns phantom power on or off for all microphonechannels.

Built-inChannel Compressors

Built-inchannel dynamics is usually only found on high-end (and very expensive)consoles. The MG124c and MG124cx feature Yamaha's innovative one-knobcompression feature on mono input channels 1 through 4. This advanced featurecan be a tremendous advantage in achieving great vocal sound. It can also beused to refine the sound of bass, guitar, and other sources. Conventional audiocompressors with their threshold, ratio, knee, makeup gain and other controlscan be complex and time-consuming to set appropriately for a given source.Yamaha's one-knob compressor eliminates the need for an engineering degree witha single control that lets you simply dial in the amount of compression youwant.

3-bandChannel EQ and High-pass Filter

Yamahahas decades of experience in building truly useful, musical equalization intosuccessful pro consoles, and the channel equalizers in MG-series mixers carryon without compromise. Channels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5/6, and 7/8 feature full 3-bandequalizers with LOW, MID, and HIGH controls, while 9/10 and 11/12 have 2-bandEQ for smooth equalization of stereo sources.

FourBuses (Stereo and Group)

Inaddition to the main stereo bus the MG124c and MG124cx feature a stereo groupbus and outputs that can be used for convenient channel grouping. Assignswitches for the stereo and group buses are located next to each channel fader.

IlluminatedChannel ON Switches

Allinput channels feature illuminated channel ON switches chat can be used toindividually add or remove channels from the mix without having to change thepositions of the channel faders. The effect channel on the MG124cx also has itsown ON switch.

Master& Output Section

TheMG124cx has pre/post switchable AUX sends on all channels as well as Effectsend controls that adjust the level of the signal sent to the mixer's internalmulti-effect system. The MG124c has dual AUX send controls for each channel,one switchable for pre- or post-fader operation, and one fixed for prefadersend. Master send controls are also provided, as are Return level controls forthe Aux and Stereo busses.

Smooth60-millimeter Faders

Channeland master level control is accomplished via reliable, high-performance60-millimeter linear faders that provide smooth, noise-free operation. Animportant advantage of linear faders is that they provide a direct visualindication of relative level settings.
