Yamaha MG10X CV - High Quality Audio Mixing With Effects

Designed around the renowned MG10XU mixers, the MG10X comes with effects but without the USB for those who do not need to stream audio, and in turn offers a more affordable price. It still maintains the superb SPX effects processing, build quality and audio quality renowned by Yamaha mixers. This makes it an ideal mixer for live performers wanting an affordable compact mixer, with high quality audio and effects at a great price.

D-Pre Mic Pre-Amps

Everything you do as a sound engineer is dependent on the quality of your preamps, which determines the direction your mix will take, and ultimately how good it is going to sound. The MG10X CV mixing console features Yamaha's studio-grade discrete class-A D-PRE preamps, which utilize an inverted Darlington circuit comprising two cascading transistors in a configuration that provides more power with lower impedance. Delivering fat, natural sounding bass and smooth, soaring highs, with very low distortion, D-PRE preamps possess an impressively wide frequency range that allow them to handle signal from any audio source without overly amplifying any specific elements of the sound. Having such a pure sonic platform to build on will ultimately save you time and effort by eliminating the need for excessive EQing or additional effects processing in order to "fix" your mix.

1-Knob Compressors

Compression plays an essential role in just about any recording or sound reinforcement environment by altering the level of dynamics of an audio signal when you need livelier guitars, punchier bass lines, a tighter snare, or a cleaner vocal sound. However, it can take countless hours to master the complexities of even the most basic outboard compression units and use them effectively. Originally a Yamaha innovation, 1-knob compressors are now an industry standard that gives you instant access to optimized compression settings via a single rotary control.

SPX Digital Effects - Built-In

For musical and non-musical applications alike, effects processing adds polish and professionalism to the mix. The MG10X CV features Yamaha’s acclaimed SPX digital multi-effect processor, offering a comprehensive suite of 24 editable digital effects perfect for enhancing your mix, whether adding depth to a speaking engagement or breathing new colour and atmosphere into a live band performance. In particular, the high-quality reverb and delay expand the spatial quality of the sound with remarkable realism and naturalness. You can even connect an optional FC5 foot switch for effect on / off control.

High Quality Audio Processing

The head amp determines sound quality, and op-amp integrated circuits are one of the most important parts in the head amp circuit. MG10X CV  features new, high-quality, custom-made MG01 op-amps that Yamaha developed in cooperation with the semiconductor manufacturer. Although many other Op-amps prioritize electrical design and efficiency, they worked directly with the semiconductor manufacturer to focus on sound quality first. MG01 op-amps feature redesigned circuitry in which even the internal components and wiring have been optimised, and use materials such as high-quality silicon wafers and copper wire to achieve superb resolution.
