Yamaha MG12XU 12-Input 4-Bus Mixer with Effects

Outstanding, reliable and well designed mixer with amazing sound quality - love this

Absolutely love this mixing desk for a number of reasons.

Firstly I can say from experience (having owned a smaller version for many years and hundreds of gigs) that these mixers are incredibly reliable, the sound quality is outstanding (Yamaha use the same high quality components as they do on their large desks), the one-knob compressors on the first four channels are very effective and ideal particularly for vocals or guitars to keep the levels under control, the effects unit sounds amazing and has a wide range of useful effects besides reverbs and delays, there is no bespoke power supply, just a simple IEC kettle type lead, so no problem if that breaks to replace it.

The main output sockets are XLR and jack (and you can simultaneously use both), with a separate group out for monitor speakers There's a lot more you could say and if you want a full tech spec, I would read through the official one. But personally I do think these are the best mixers for the money and I wouldn't consider going with alternative (just my opinion and experience - I'm sure there are other great mixers out there too - not dissing them).

This is my second small Yamaha mixer because previously I had the smaller version of this one for a lot of years and it was fantastic and completely reliable but unfortunately it got damaged when it was knocked to the floor - so I had to replace it and decided to go with this larger version which is superior in a number of ways, besides the additional channels, having faders rather than knobs for the channel levels.Read full review
