MGP32X/MGP24X Owner’s Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha MGP32X/MGP24X mixing console. Please read this manual thoroughly to make the best use of the mixing console for the longest possible period of time. After reading this manual, please keep it available for future reference.

Main features

D-PRE (Discrete Class-A MIC preamp)

Mono input channels are equipped with Class-A discrete microphone preamplifiers. The head amplifier features an inverted Darlington circuit* used in high-end audio devices, and reproduces low frequencies with exceptionally musical characteristics as well as sustained high frequencies. Independent toggle switching of +48V phantom power and 26dB (pad) on each channel.

* Inverted Darlington circuit: An amplifying method for elimi-

nating the nonlinear characteristics of the amplifier element and suppressing the distortion. The circuit features highly musical phase characteristics.

Convenient, practical functions for events – Ducker, Leveler, and Stereo Image

The mixer features three exceptionally convenient features for the stereo input channels: Ducker, Leveler and Stereo Image. The ducker function automatically lowers the level of background music to accommodate the voice of an announcer coming in on another channel. The leveler function automatically maintains a consistent sound volume, even when using sound sources that have different mastering levels. Stereo image narrows the pan balance of the stereo sound source, and changes stereo signals to mono. This is useful in restaurants and other spaces where the left and right speakers are distantly positioned, or when you input accompaniment sound to the left channel and vocal sound to the right and want a more natural stereo image.

USB port for playing and charging your iPod/ iPhone

Digital audio output from the iPod/iPhone can be directly input to the unit, and the iPod/iPhone can be charged while connected.

X-pressive EQ

The shelving EQ (low/high) on the mono input channels features Xpressive EQ, which effectively models analog EQ utilizing Yamaha’s famed VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) technology. We analyzed vintage EQ analog circuits and redesigned the technology specifically for the MGP to create an EQ with exceptionally musical characteristics. Furthermore, the cutoff frequency can also be adjusted, enhancing use of the EQ in sound reinforcement applications, and extending the sonic control range of the mixer.

USB device recorder

A USB device recorder is built into the mixer for recording mixed audio to a USB device as an audio file, and for playing back music saved in the USB device by assigning it to the desired channel output or bus output. Supported file formats are MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3) and WAV for recording and MP3, WAV, and AAC for playback.

Stereo master – COMP and GEQ

The stereo master is equipped with a compressor (COMP) or multiband compressor that adjusts the sound pressure of the output signal, and with a graphic equalizer (GEQ) that adjusts sound quality such as feedback.

About the models

The MGP32X and MGP24X feature a different number of monaural input channels and COMP control knobs. The MGP32X has 24 monaural input channels and the MGP24X has 16. The MGP32X is equipped with 16 COMP control knobs for channels 9-24 and the MGP24X with 8 COMP control knobs for channels 9-16.

Conventions in this manual

• Whenever there is a different number of channels or a different channel number for the same function between the MGP32X and the MGP24X, the number that applies only to the MGP24X model is enclosed in curly brackets { }. For example, “CH1-24 {CH1-16}” means channels 1-24 for the MGP32X and channels 1-16 for the MGP24X.

* “CH” is an abbreviation for channel.

• Control knobs on the panel are called “knobs.” Some knobs rotate from a minimum value to a maximum value, while others rotate endlessly.

MGP Editor

MGP Editor is a free software application that gives you additional control of your MGP mixer’s DSP settings via your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. See the following web site to download the application.

http://www.yamahaproaudio.com/global/en/products/peripherals/applications/mgp_editor/

Digital effects — REV-X and SPX

Two powerful digital effect blocks are built into the mixer: REVX (8 types) and SPX (16 types). REV-X gives you a high-density, richly reverberant sound ambience, with smooth attenuation, spread and depth that work together to enhance the original sound. The versatile SPX block features a variety of effect applications, such as reverb, delay, and modulation effects, along with complex combinations of multiple effects.

Turning this switch on ( ) attenuates the input signal from the INPUT jack of the mono channel by 26dB. Turn this switch off ( ) if you have connected a microphone or other device with a low input level to the channel. Turn it on ( ) if you have connected a line-level device.

w +48V switch and indicator

Toggles phantom power on and off. When this switch is turned on ( ), the mixer supplies DC +48V power to INPUT A of XLR input jacks. Turn this switch on when using one or more phantom-powered condenser microphones. The indicator is on when the switch is on.

CAUTION

• Be sure to leave this switch off ( ) if you do not need phantom power.

• When turning phantom power on ( ), follow the important precautions below, in order to prevent noise and possible damage to the mixer and external devices.

• Turn this switch off when connecting a device that

does not support phantom power to INPUT A of XLR input jacks

• Do not connect/disconnect a cable to/from channels 1-

24 {1-16} while this switch on.

• Turn the mixer’s output controls – STEREO master and

GROUP faders- all the way down when turning phantom power on/off.

e GAIN knob

Adjusts the sensitivity of the input signal. Monaural channels have a 26dB switch (q) that lets you change the range of this control. The adjustable sensitivity range is as follows.

Mono channel

26dB switch Range

ON -34dB to +10dB

OFF -60dB to -16dB

NOTE

The stereo channel is fixed to a range of -34dB to +10dB.

r (High Pass Filter) switch

Turning this switch on ( ) will apply a high-pass filter that attenuates frequencies below 100Hz in the signal by a slope of 12dB/octave.

COMP knobs and indicator (Channel 9-24 {9-16})

Adjusts the amount of compression applied to the channel. As the knob is turned to the right the compression ratio increases while the output gain is automatically adjusted accordingly. The result is smoother, more even dynamics because louder signals are attenuated while the overall level is boosted. The COMP indicator comes on when the compressor operates.

NOTE

Avoid setting the compression too high, as the higher average output level that results may lead to feedback.

These knobs adjust the channel’s signal levels into AUX buses 1 to 4. Each knob controls the signal into the corresponding AUX bus. On stereo channels, the LINE L (odd) and LINE R (even) input signals are mixed before moving into the AUX bus. These knobs should generally be set close to the “t” (nominal) position.

NOTE

• To enable use of AUX5 and AUX6, you must turn on ( ) the AUX5/AUX6 switch (!5).

• For AUX1 to AUX4, you use the PRE switch (!3) to select whether the pre-fader or post-fader signal is sent to the bus. For AUX5 and AUX6, only the post-fader signal can be sent.

!3 PRE switch

Selects whether the pre-fader or the post-fader signal is fed to the corresponding pair of AUX 1-4 buses. AUX1 and 2 and also AUX3 and 4 should be paired. The upper PRE switch controls the signal to AUX1 and AUX2; the lower switch controls the signal to AUX3 and AUX4. If the switch is on ( ), the mixer feeds the pre-fader signal to the corresponding buses. If off ( ), the mixer feeds the post-fader signal.

!4 FX (effect) knobs (1, 2)

These knobs adjust the channel’s post-fader signal levels into FX buses 1 and 2. On stereo channels, the LINE L (odd) and LINE R (even) input signals are mixed before moving into the FX bus. These knobs should generally be set close to the “t” (nominal) position.

NOTE

If the AUX5/AUX6 switch is on, these knobs adjust the output to the AUX5 and AUX6 buses.

!8 PEAK indicator

Lights red when the channel’s post-equalizer signal level reaches 3 dB before clipping.

!9 SIG (Signal) indicator

Lights green when a signal is being input to the channel.

@0 Bus assign switches

• Switches 1-2, 3-4: Assign the channel’s signal to the

GROUP 1 to 4 buses.

• ST switch: Assigns the channel’s signal to the STE-

REO L and R buses.

NOTE

To send the signal to each bus, engage the ON switch (!7).

@1 PFL (Pre-Fader Listen) switch and indicator

When the PFL switch is turned on ( ) the indicator comes on and the channel pre-fader signal is output to the MONITOR OUT and PHONES jacks for monitoring.

@2 Channel fader

Adjusts the output level of the input channel signal. Use these faders to adjust the balance between the various channels.

NOTE

To reduce noise, set the fader sliders for any unused channels all the way down.

!5 AUX5, AUX6 switch

Selects whether the channel’s post-fader signal is sent to AUX buses 5 and 6 or FX buses l and 2. If the switch is on ( ), the signal goes to AUX5 and 6 buses; if off ( ), the signal goes to the FX buses.

!6 PAN knob (Mono channels)

BAL knob (Stereo channels)

These knobs set the stereo pan position and determine the volume balance between left and right. When the channels are panned hard left or hard right, sound is heard from only the hard-panned channel. The PAN knob determines each mono signal’s pan positioning between left and right, while the BAL knob determines the stereo channel’s volume balance between left and right.

!7 ON switches

Turning this switch on ( ) sends that channel’s signal to the buses. When the switch is turned on, the switch’s lamp comes on. If you turn the switch off ( ), all of the signal sent to the buses such as AUX and GROUP buses is cut off.

NOTE

• The ON switch does not affect the operation of the PFL switch (@1). You can monitor the channel’s pre-fader signal through the PHONES jack even when the ON switch is off.

• To reduce noise, turn all unused channels off.

 Are the PFL switches for the channels that you are not using turned on? Make sure to turn off

the PFL switch.

 Is the AFL switch of the bus channel you want to monitor turned on?  Is the input select switch set to USB IN/iPod IN ( )? Make sure to set the switch to ANA-

LOG ( ).

 Are the channel GAIN knobs, channel faders, STEREO master fader and GROUP faders set

to appropriate levels?

 Is the 26dB switch turned on?

Make sure to turn off the switch when a low-level source, such as a microphone, is input.

 Is the output signal from the connected device set to an appropriate level?  Are you applying the effects and compressor at appropriate levels?

You may have to lower the FX1, FX2 knobs, FX RTN fader, and COMP knob levels.

 Are two different instruments connected to the XLR-type and phone jacks, or to the phone and

RCA pin jacks on one channel? Make sure to connect to only one of these jacks on each channel.

 Are microphones connected to the INPUT A input jacks?  If you are using condenser microphones, is the +48V switch turned ON?  If you are connecting a device which has a specified output level of +4dBu, turn on the 26dB

(PAD) switch of the mono channels or use stereo channels.

 (Stereo channel) Is the DUCKER switch turned on?

When a signal is constantly input to CH24 {CH16} or the GROUP 1 bus, the sound becomes faint.

 Check whether the ON button of the FX1 RTN and/or FX2 RTN channel is turned on.  Be sure that Knob 2, and the FX1 RTN and/or FX2 RTN faders are correctly adjusted.  Check that the switch for the desired bus in the FX1 RTN and/or FX2 RTN bus assign

switches is turned on.

 When an effects processing unit is connected to the SEND(AUX1 to AUX6) jacks, are the

AUX1 to AUX6 knobs on the SEND MASTER set to appropriate levels?

 Make sure that the switch is turned ON.  Are the equalizers (HIGH, MID, and LOW knobs) on each channel adjusted appropriately?

 Connect a powered speaker to the MONITOR OUT jack.

Make sure to adjust the level of output signal from the MONITOR OUT jack with the MONITOR knob.

Troubleshooting

 Cannot record to a USB

device

 iPod/iPhone signal is not

output.

 The supported iPod/

iPhone is not recognized.

 When a stereo signal is

input, the left and right volume is different.

 The sound level is incon-

sistent, or there is an unnatural “pumping” in the sound.

 Is the USB device write-protected?  Does the USB device have sufficient capacity to save the data?  Is the USB device formatted in FAT32 format?  Since high transmission speed is required for recording in WAV format, recording songs to

USB flash drives may not be possible. We recommend using HDD (hard disc drive) or SSD (solid-state drive) when recording songs. If you use a USB flash drive for recording songs, change the recording format to MP3:128k, MP3:192k, MP3:256k, or MP3:320k.

 If the memory is fragmented significantly, try running a defragmentation program on the com-

puter.

 Is the output signal assignment set appropriately? (page 36)  Is the iPod indicator turned off?

The unit has not recognized your iPod/iPhone. Check which iPod/iPhone models are supported.

 If your iPod/iPhone has not been charged, it may take some time to be recognized by the

mixer. Please wait.

 Is the pan knob set to the center position?

If it is located in the center, try swapping the connections. If the lesser/greater volume signals are also switched, check the connected device(s).

 Is the same type of cable used for the right and left signals?

A cable with resistance lowers the volume.

 Are you applying the compressor at an appropriate level?

You might have to lower the COMP knob levels.

 The Leveler is not enabled.  Is the GAIN knob on the stereo channels adjusted appropriately?

The leveler may not be enabled if you increase the gain too much.

* If any specific problem should persist, please contact your Yamaha dealer.

COMP/DUCKER/LEVELER Parameter List

 COMPRESSOR

If a signal higher than a specified threshold level is input, the output level is adjusted by a specified ratio.

Type=Comp

Parameter Range Description

Threshold -48 to -6 dB This determines the level of input signal required to trigger the compressor.

Ratio 1.0 – 20.0

Attack 1 – 40 ms

Release 10 – 680 ms

Out Level -12 to +12 dB This sets the compressor’s output signal level.

This determines the amount of compression. A larger value results in a stronger compression effect. This determines how soon the signal will be compressed once the compressor has been triggered. This determines how soon the compressor returns to its normal gain once the trigger signal level drops below the threshold.

Appendix

Type=MulitiBand

Parameter Range Description

L-M Xover 21.2 Hz – 4.0 kHz Low/mid crossover frequency M-H Xover 42.5 Hz – 8.0 kHz Mid/high crossover frequency

This determines how soon the compressor returns to its normal gain once the trigger signal level drops below the threshold.

This determines the level of input signal required to trigger the low/mid/high band compressor. This determines the amount of low/mid/high band compression. A larger value results in a stronger compression effect.

 DUCKER

If the selected input source signal level exceeds the specified threshold level, the output level is attenuated by a specified amount (range).

Parameter Range Description

Source

Threshold -60 to 0 dB

Range -70 to 0 dB This determines the amount of attenuation when the ducker is activated.

Release 1 ms – 50 s

CH24 {CH16}, GROUP1

This determines whether the ducker source signal is channel 24 {16} or GROUP1. This determines the level of trigger signal required to active the ducker. If the source input signal exceeds this level, the ducker begins to be applied.

This determines how soon the ducker returns to its normal gain once the trigger signal level drops below the threshold.

 LEVELER

If a signal higher than a specified threshold level is input, the output level is adjusted to the specified level.

Parameter Range Description

Threshold -60 to 0 dB This determines the level of input signal required to trigger the leveler. Out Gain -20 to +40 dB This sets leveler’s output signal level.
