Yamaha MGX12 Digital Mixing Console & USB Audio Interface

The Yamaha MGX12 brings the established MG Series philosophy into a versatile digital mixing platform designed for modern production and performance workflows.

Combining a 4.3-inch touchscreen, 11 + 1 non-motorised faders, professional DSP, multitrack recording and extensive USB connectivity, the MGX12 provides comprehensive mixing functionality while maintaining an intuitive, hands-on workflow.

Its compact 3.9kg construction makes it equally suited to portable rigs, studios, streaming environments and permanent installations.

4.3-Inch Touchscreen with Physical Controls

The MGX12 combines a 4.3-inch touchscreen display with dedicated physical controls, providing direct access to essential mixing functions while retaining the flexibility of a graphical interface.

The control surface includes 12 faders with dedicated send controls, four assignable knobs and Yamaha’s TOUCH AND TURN control for efficient parameter adjustment.

Flexible Input Configuration

The MGX12 provides a versatile selection of inputs for microphones, instruments, playback equipment and wireless audio sources.

The input configuration includes four Mic/Line combo inputs, four stereo line inputs and Bluetooth audio, along with Sound Pad and FX return channels.

This flexibility makes the console suitable for bands, venues, podcasts, streaming systems and recording setups.

Versatile Output Connectivity

Output options include two XLR outputs, six TRS outputs and four headphone outputs, supporting a variety of main, monitoring and routing configurations.

The multiple headphone connections are particularly useful for podcasting, recording and production environments involving several participants or performers.

High-Performance MGX Microphone Preamps

At the front end, the MGX12 features high-performance MGX microphone preamps with an 86dB gain range and ultra-low distortion.

Combined with professional-grade AD/DA conversion and a specified 125dB dynamic range at the stereo output, the mixer is designed around Yamaha’s True Sound philosophy.

Powerful Built-In DSP

Integrated DSP provides a comprehensive collection of processing tools for mixing, recording and live production.

Available processing includes EQ, compression, gating, reverb, delay, amp simulation, voice changing and multi-band compression, giving users extensive control without requiring a separate external processing system.

Auto Gain and Clip Safe

The MGX12 includes intelligent tools designed to simplify level management.

Auto Gain assists with establishing appropriate input levels quickly, while Clip Safe provides protection against unwanted distortion caused by excessive signal levels.

Scene Recall

Scene Recall allows mixer configurations to be recalled quickly, making the MGX12 practical for applications where users regularly switch between different productions, performers or setups.

Simple and Standard operating modes provide additional workflow flexibility for different levels of mixing experience and operational requirements.

18-In/18-Out USB Audio Interface

For computer-based recording and production, the MGX12 incorporates an 18-in/18-out USB MAIN audio interface supporting up to 32-bit/96kHz operation.

A separate 2-in/2-out USB SUB connection provides additional flexibility for streaming and other digital audio workflows.

16-Track microSD Recording

The MGX12 supports 16-track recording directly to microSD card, allowing multitrack performances and productions to be captured without relying solely on a connected computer.

Two-track playback is also supported, making the console suitable for backing tracks, recorded material and other playback applications.

Bluetooth 5.0 Audio

Integrated Bluetooth 5.0 audio streaming provides convenient wireless playback from compatible devices.

This can be useful for background music, reference tracks, rehearsal material and other audio sources without occupying a conventional wired input.

Eight Customisable Sound Pads

The MGX12 includes eight customisable sound pads that can be used to trigger jingles, sound effects and other assigned functions.

For podcasting, streaming and content production, the pads provide immediate access to frequently used audio elements directly from the mixer.

Compact and Portable Design

Despite its extensive digital capabilities, the MGX12 weighs just 3.9kg, making it practical for portable production and live sound systems.

Its rugged construction also supports use in fixed installations where a compact professional digital console is required.

Included Software and Accessories

The MGX12 includes a selection of software for recording, production and content creation, including Cubase AI, WaveLab Cast, Steinberg Plus and Basic FX Suite.

An AC power adapter, Quick Start Guide and safety documentation are also included.
