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 CompressorsInternal 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.

configuring complex outboard gear. The MGP features our newly upgraded
X-pressive EQ
Everyone knows vintage EQ sounds great—but not everyone knows why. Throughout the development of
the innovative VCM (Virtual Circuit Modeling) effects used in our high-end professional digital mixers, we
became increasingly focused on reproducing the warmth and musicality of classic vintage EQs. It was
through our precise modeling of the original circuitry of some of the most sought-after EQ modules from the
past that we discovered a characteristic “X-shape” of the frequency curves that was unique to these units—
and would ultimately prove essential to unlocking real vintage authenticity. More than just a means of tweaking your mix,
the precise response and very steep shelving of the high and low frequencies make the X-pressive EQ a powerful
sound-shaping tool that essentially redefines the role that EQ plays in sound reinforcement. Never before has an audio
engineer's contribution to the overall sound been so significant, with X-pressive EQ providing complete control of every
aspect of your sonic palette.
You can plug in with confidence in any region with 100V- 240V power thanks to our highly-efficient internal universal
power supply. With its multi-voltage design, the MGP ensures worry-free operation in potentially damaging environments
with fluctuating power levels. An Internal power supply also simplifies rack mounting of the console at installed
applications, with no use for a bulky adapter or additional connections.

Priority Ducker
The MGP is the realization of a new approach towards the utilization of digital technologies in a mixer, offering
simple, analog-style control of sophisticated DSP functions.
One of the most compelling features of analog gear is the direct, hands-on, intuitive operation that unites
the operator with the console. The MGP design sought to keep this feel consistent throughout the design to offer
a wealth of functionality, yet with a simple, familiar touch.
More Than Just Digital... it's Hybrid.
Hybrid Channel
40 years of experience working with professional mixers has led Yamaha to offer a
new way of approaching sound reinforcement in the digital age: the Stereo Hybrid
Channel. Beneath the analog-style knobs and encoders of MGP Series mixing
consoles lies a sophisticated digital control system—a fusion that combines
traditional analog feel with the functionality that only digital technology can offer.
The MGP Series utilizes a powerful, proprietary DSP to provide three essential
features that are staples of both installed and live sound applications. In keeping
with the theme of analog simplicity found throughout the MGP Series design, each
of these functions is readily accessible and available at the touch of a button.
Featuring a mid-sweep, three-band EQ for nuanced sound control and
high-performance onboard A/D and D/A converters, the Stereo Hybrid Channel
offers unique functionality with superior sound.

An invaluable feature for applications that require both public-speaking and background music, Priority Ducker
over another sound source automatically, just by
speaking into the mic. Stop talking and the other
sound source is brought back to its original level,
therefore no console operator is required for this
simple yet valuable function. You can even adjust
the ducker attenuation of sound source depending
on your preferences.

Stereo Image
The Stereo Image function seamlessly
narrows the pan balance of the stereo
sound source so that audiences spread
over a wide area can enjoy a
comfortably blended mix. This is particularly helpful
for installed sound applications that requires
background music. Using either of the two optimized
settings—MONO and BLEND— Stereo Image ensures
that everyone is in the "sweet spot" by providing a
more optimally mixed sound to the entire space.
Advanced REV-X and Classic SPX

Graphic EQ
The new Graphic EQ feature 14
band and flex 9 band modes that
can easily be controlled via internal
display. This Flex EQ is also used in
Yamaha’s pro-level CL series consoles. By limiting
the number of bands for boost and cut, the extra
DSP can be employed to narrow the filters to 1/3
octave, and allow the user to sweep the filter to the
range where adjustment is required. With 31
different filter positions, very fine adjustments can
be made. Additionally, finding and reducing feedback is quick and easy
using the offset/gain controls to point out vulnerable frequencies before the
feedback occurs.
Multi-band Compressor
The MGP32X and MGP24X are the
first mixers in this class to be
equipped with a master
compressor on the stereo bus.
Both a standard type (COMP) and a three-band
divided (Multi-band) master compressor have
been built in. Using a master compressor allows
you to reduce the overall dynamic range of the
signal to fit the environment, and protect the
sound system from overloads. A total of 8
memory scenes (3 read only and 5 user defined) allow settings to easily be
stored and recalled as needed quickly.
