Yamaha MG12XU 12-Channel Analog Mixer with USB and Effects

The Yamaha MG12XU is a versatile 12-channel analog mixer designed for bands, churches, event spaces, recording studios, and content creators who need more inputs and greater routing flexibility. Combining Yamaha's acclaimed D-PRE microphone preamps, built-in SPX digital effects, and a high-resolution USB audio interface, it serves equally well for live performances and studio recording.

With up to six microphone inputs and twelve total line inputs, the MG12XU provides enough connectivity for full bands, multiple vocalists, keyboards, playback devices, and other audio sources. Two group buses and two auxiliary sends make it easier to create monitor mixes, route audio to external processors, or manage more complex live sound setups.

Yamaha's D-PRE microphone preamps capture vocals and instruments with excellent clarity and natural detail, while one-knob compressors on the mono channels make it easy to control dynamic sources like vocals, bass, and acoustic guitars without slowing down your workflow.

The onboard SPX effects processor includes 24 professional-quality presets, including reverbs, delays, chorus, and modulation effects that add depth to live mixes without requiring external hardware.

For recording, the built-in 24-bit/192kHz USB audio interface connects directly to your computer, making the MG12XU an excellent choice for home studios, podcast production, livestreaming, and multitrack projects. Cubase AI recording software is included so you can begin recording immediately.

Built with a rugged metal chassis and an internal universal power supply for worldwide operation, the MG12XU is engineered for dependable performance whether it's installed permanently or transported from gig to gig. Optional rack mounting is also available for portable or fixed installations.
