PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
BEFORE PROCEEDING

Please keep this manual in a safe place for
future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to
avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death
from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or
other hazards. These precautions include, but are not
limited to, the following:

PA_en_8 1/2

• Do not use headphones for a long period of time at a high or
uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause
permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss
or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the
power for all devices. Also, before turning the power of all
devices on or off, make sure that all volume levels are set to
the minimum. Failing to do so may result in hearing loss,
electric shock, or device damage.

• When turning on the AC power in your audio system, always
turn on the power amplifier LAST, to avoid hearing loss and
speaker damage. When turning the power off, the power
amplifier should be turned off FIRST for the same reason.

Fire warning

• Do not place any burning items or open flames near the
device, since they may cause a fire.

Power supply/AC power adaptor

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as
heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or
otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or
place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over,
or roll anything over it.

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the device. The
required voltage is printed on the name plate of the device.

• Use the specified adaptor only. Using the wrong adaptor
can result in damage to the device or overheating.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or
dust which may have accumulated on it.

• When setting up the device, make sure that the AC outlet
you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or
malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch
and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the
power switch is turned off, as long as the power cord is not
unplugged from the wall AC outlet, the device will not be
disconnected from the power source.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the device is
not to be used for extended periods of time, or during
electrical storms.

the device or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. If it should appear to be
malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Water warning

• Do not expose the device to rain, use it near water or in
damp or wet conditions, or place on it any containers (such
as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids which might
spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps
into the device, turn off the power immediately and unplug
the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

NOTICE

To avoid the possibility of malfunction/damage to the product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the notices
below.

 Handling and maintenance

• Do not use the device in the vicinity of a TV, radio, AV equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the

device, TV, or radio may generate noise.

• Do not expose the device to excessive dust or vibration, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or

in a car during the day), in order to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration, unstable operation, or damage to the inter­nal components.

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the device, since this might discolor the panel.

• When cleaning the device, use a dry and soft cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impreg-

nated wiping cloths.

• Condensation can occur in the device due to rapid, drastic changes in ambient temperature—when the device is moved

from one location to another, or air conditioning is turned on or off, for example. Using the device while condensation is
present can cause damage. If there is reason to believe that condensation might have occurred, leave the device for several
hours without turning on the power until the condensation has completely dried out.

• To avoid generating unwanted noise, make sure there is adequate distance (50cm or more) between the AC adaptor and

the device.

• Do not apply oil, grease, or contact cleaner to the faders. Doing so may cause problems with electrical contact or fader

motion.

• Always turn the power off when the device is not in use.

• Even when the power switch is in standby status, electricity is still flowing to the device at the minimum level. When you are

not using the device for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Main Features

D-PRE and High-Quality Operational Amplifiers

Mono input channels are equipped with “D-PRE” Class-A discrete microphone preamplifiers. The D-PRE head ampli­fier features an inverted Darlington circuit used in high-end audio devices. This circuit uses multi-stage amplifying ele­ments to ensure high current and low impedance, for an audio texture with crispness and richness in the low and mid
frequencies. Combined with the specially-designed “MG01” operational amp, the overall result is full-bodied reproduc­tion of low frequencies as well as sustained high frequencies. Input channels feature combo jacks, which can accept
both XLR and TRS connectors. In addition, PAD circuitry allows line level input, to accommodate a wide variety of
instruments.

24 High-Quality Digital Effects

MG10XUF features 24 built-in effects that are based on SPX algorithms used by professionals. In particular, the high­quality reverb and delay expand the spatial quality of the sound with remarkable realism and naturalness.

24-bit/192 kHz USB Audio Interface

MG10XUF features a USB 2.0 audio interface capable of 24-bit/192 kHz sound quality. With the audio interface you
can play back music from your computer, or use DAW software such as Cubase AI to record the mixer output. The XU
models support USB Audio Class 2.0 so you can use them with USB Audio Class 2.0 compliant tablets and other
devices, without the need to install drivers. The USB protocol uses asynchronous data transfer. Audio data is trans­ferred based on a highly precise audio clock signal from the MG, for high quality recording and playback.

MG Rec & Play

The MG Rec & Play software application enables recording to an iPhone/iPad connected to MG10XUF, as well as play­back of songs and sounds from an iPhone/iPad.This application can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as
recording live gigs, providing background music for entertainment events, or sound effects for parties.

NOTE

iOS applications may not be supported in your area. Please check with your Yamaha dealer.

Cubase AI, Cubasis LE

The MG10XUF comes with the Steinberg DAW software "Cubase AI" and supports the DAW software "Cubasis LE" for
