Yamaha MG20XU - Analog mixer with SPX - 20-channel - rack-mountable

Yamaha MG20XU analog mixer - 20-channel

Key Features and Benefits:

• Discrete class-A mic preamps
  This is where it all starts. Everything you do as a sound engineer is dependent on the quality of your preamps, which determines the direction your mix will take, and ultimately how good it is going to sound. MG series mixing consoles feature Yamaha's studio-grade discrete class-A D-PRE preamps, which utilize an inverted Darlington circuit comprising two cascading transistors in a configuration that provides more power with lower impedance. Delivering fat, natural sounding bass and smooth, soaring highs, with very low distortion, D-PRE preamps possess an impressively wide frequency range that allows them to handle signal from any audio source without overly amplifying any specific elements of the sound.
• 1-knob compressors
  Compression plays an essential role in just about any recording or sound reinforcement environment by altering the level of dynamics of an audio signal when you need livelier guitars, punchier bass lines, a tighter snare, or a cleaner vocal sound. However, it can take countless hours to master the complexities of even basic outboard compression units and use them effectively. 1-knob compressors are now an industry standard that gives you instant access to optimized compression settings via a single rotary control.
• AUX sends
  MG series mixers feature AUX sends for expanding your sound reinforcement or recording setup, allowing you to incorporate additional effects, output to external recording devices, or feed to an monitoring system.
• Metal chassis
  Built to last, MG series mixers feature a rugged, impact-resistant, powder-coated metal chassis, offering an unrivaled level of durability. With a sleek design contoured for optimal convection cooling, the internal layout separates the power supply from the analog circuitry for superior noise reduction, and further extends the life of the components inside. To further ensure reliable performance, knob control placement above the surface of the chassis diverts any impact or pressure on the knobs to the chassis itself and not the circuit board or components underneath.
