At the heart of the MGP's compact configuration, Yamaha has added an innovative approach to the utilization of digital technology in an analog mixer by adding high-resolution effects, iPod/iPhone integration and the Stereo Hybrid Channel. The MGP Series represents the balance of 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— Yamaha 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.

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.

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 their premium professional analog equipment, the MGP is the next step in the evolution of compact professional mixers by Yamaha.

STUDIOMASTER C3X

The C3 range of mixers comprises two models both offering you a total of 12 inputs in a compact 1u 19" rack mountable package. The C3X model also includes the Studiomaster custom DSP effects processor. A smaller unit that still has all the professional features you need for quality sound.

The four balanced combination XLR and jack inputs allow you to connect your microphones or line level equipment. For added flexibility two inputs are on the front and two on the rear panel. All mic pre-amps feature our studio grade design, making them ideal even if you want to use quality condenser mics, as phantom power is available.

Studiomaster EQ designs are famous for their smooth and natural response. The three band design, used on C3, provides you with maximum control across that crucial vocal range.
Four stereo inputs offer a selection of jack and RCA/phono inputs making them perfect for most playback formats(CD, MD etc) and electronic instruments(keyboards, drum machines etc). Each input has an individual level control and the shared two band EQ gives extra dimension.

The DSP used in the C3X gives you the latest generation of crystal clear, quality delays, reverbs and effects. Studiomaster has used DSP technology for many years and during that time developed a unique blend of delay and reverb effects which have proved to be a highly popular choice of many artists. The result, 'Vocal', takes the difficulty out of choosing the best effect, dramatically enhancing a vocalist's performance. Three 'Vocal' settings are available on the C3X, along with 'room' and 'plate' reverbs. The delay mode is fully variable giving you an echo of between 10ms and 720ms, along with a 'regen' range of 0 to 90%, so you control how long it takes to die away.
The DSP can be turned on and off using the convenient front panel switch or with a foot switch, connected to the socket on the rear panel.

All inputs have access to a pair of pre and post fader auxiliary sends. The 'pre' send is ideal for creating a monitor mix which can feed stage monitors or headphones. The 'post' send feeds the DSP effects processor on the C3X, and an external effect device for even more flexibility.

The stereo output features LED metering, so you can see exactly what's going on, master level control and balanced XLR and RCA/phono connectors.

It has been 40 years since the release of Yamaha's first professional analog mixing console in 1972, the PM200. This year also marks the 25th anniversary of the landmark release of our first ever digital mixer, the DMP7. It is no mere coincidence that, during this momentous occasion, we are introducing a ground-breaking new product that represents a new paradigm for compact professional mixing consoles: the MGP Series. 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 secret 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.
