Digital Heart.
Analog Soul.

Yamaha has provided an impressive range of lineups in professional audio since the release of the PM200 in 1972—our first
ever professional analog mixing console. In 1987, we also released our first digital mixer, the DMP7, and have subsequently
advanced technological innovations in sound quality, reliability and advanced functionalities with cutting-edge digital

technologies.

Drawing from our decades of experience crafting innovative, premium analog gear, we originally developed our new
discrete Class-A microphone preamps for professional use in our high-end recording equipment. Utilizing an inverted
Darlington circuit design, our newly-refined D-PRE mic preamps deliver a fat, rich, smooth tone that gives the MGP Series a
significant advantage over any other mixer in its class.

With Yamaha's proprietary X-pressive EQ we've managed to capture ultimate analog authenticity by unlocking the mysterious
secrets behind the expressive sound shaping capabilities of sought-after classic EQ modules.

At the heart of the MGP's compact configuration, we've taken an innovative new approach to the utilization of digital technology
in an analog mixer; adding high-resolution effects, iPod/iPhone integration and the superb functionality of our new Stereo Hybrid
Channel to the warmth and musicality of premium analog sound. The MGP Series represents the ultimate balance of the
converging technologies that are the heart and soul of Yamaha's extraordinary achievements in professional audio.

In addition to the complete redesign of the internal circuitry—from the mic preamps to the power supply—

we also took a new, more intuitive approach to the knob design and control surface of the MGP Series consoles.

The new color coordinated design is not only attractive and professional, but also help visually guide the operator's

hands to the intended functions.

Fill Your Space
with Premium Sound

Not just for live bands and DJ's, the MG Series mixing consoles can easily adapt

to a truly impressive range of applications from portable PA to fixed installation.

Now with the newly added digital functions and superior sound of the MGP,

the possibilities are endless.

The Evolution of Analog

When it comes to audio engineering and sound reinforcement, the verdict is in—nothing beats the
warmth and musicality of analog sound. By incorporating state-of-the-art digital technologies

into the development process of our premium professional analog equipment, the MGP is the next

step in the evolution of compact professional mixers.

D-PRE

The preamp is where sound creation begins, and ultimately determines the character and quality of your

overall mix. The importance of this critical first step inspired us to develop the most fat and warm sounding
preamps possible—our newly refined D-PRE mic preamps. Initially intended for use with Yamaha's high-end
recording gear, these studio-grade, discrete Class-A mic preamps employ an inverted Darlington circuit
design that features multiple circuitry elements in a multi-layered configuration in order to deliver more power

with lower impedance. This means all the character, depth and feel of your original signal will be delivered with fat, natural

sounding bass and smooth, soaring highs. Rediscover a favourite mic or trusted instrument by capturing the full range of

your musical expression with sound that you don't hear, so much as feel. With 48V phantom power for each channel and a

sound that is incomparable in a compact mixer today, these studio-grade discrete Class-A mic preamps set the MGP
apart, clearly defining a class all its own.

1-Knob Compressors Internal Universal Power Supply

Originally a Yamaha innovation, 1-knob compression is now a popular feature on

an increasing number of compact mixing consoles with good reason. These
intelligent compressors add optimally set compression to a wide variety of input
sources with the touch of a single control—minus the hassle of setting up and

1-knob compressors that feature LED indicators allowing you to visually monitor when the

compression “kicks in” on each channel.
