Yamaha MG06X Mixer

The Yamaha MG06X is an enhanced version of the compact MG06 6-channel analog mixing console. The primary and most significant difference, indicated by the "X" in its name, is the inclusion of high-quality digital effects, making it even more versatile for live sound, small performances, and home recording where effects are desired.

Key Features (building on MG06 features):

• Channels: 6-channel mixing console:
  • 2 x Mono Mic/Line inputs (XLR/TRS combo jacks)
  • 2 x Stereo Line inputs (1/4" TRS jacks)
• Preamps: Features Yamaha's acclaimed "D-PRE" mic preamps with an inverted Darlington circuit. These discrete Class-A preamps are known for delivering transparent, natural-sounding bass and smooth highs with very low distortion, providing a high-quality signal foundation.
• Phantom Power: Switchable +48V phantom power on the two mono channels, allowing the use of condenser microphones.
• PAD Switch: A 26 dB pad switch on the mono input channels helps handle high-level input sources (like loud microphones or instruments) to prevent clipping.
• EQ: 2-band EQ (High and Low) on the mono input channels for basic tone shaping:
  • High: +/-15 dB at 10 kHz (shelving)
  • Low: +/-15 dB at 100 Hz (shelving)
• High-Pass Filter (HPF): 80 Hz, 12 dB/oct HPF on the mono channels to eliminate unwanted low-frequency rumble and noise.
• Integrated Digital Effects (SPX Processor): This is the main upgrade over the MG06. The MG06X features Yamaha's acclaimed SPX digital multi-effect processor with 6 high-grade programs:
  • Reverb: Hall, Room, Plate
  • Delay: Short Delay, Long Delay, Vocal EchoThese effects can be applied to the mono input channels (channels 1 and 2) to add depth, space, and polish to vocals or instruments.
• Outputs:
  • XLR balanced stereo main outputs for connecting to PA systems, powered speakers, or recording interfaces.
  • 1/4" TRS stereo main outputs (often parallel to XLR).
  • 1/4" stereo headphone output with level control for personal monitoring.
• Metering: 2 x 7-segment LED level meters (Peak, +6, +3, 0, -3, -10, -20 dB) for clear visual monitoring of output levels.
• Construction: Rugged, impact-resistant, powder-coated metal chassis designed for durability and optimal convection cooling, separating the power supply from analog circuitry for superior noise reduction.
• Compact Design: Extremely portable and lightweight.
  • Dimensions (W x H x D): 149 mm x 62 mm x 202 mm (5.9" x 2.4" x 7.9")
  • Net Weight: 0.9 kg (1.98 lbs.)

The Yamaha MG06X retains all the essential features and high-quality sound of the MG06 but adds the convenience and versatility of onboard digital effects. This makes it an even more compelling option for solo performers, public speakers, small bands, or home studios that need to add a touch of polish without requiring external effects units. It does not include USB audio connectivity.
