Analog Heritage, Digital Evolution
The MGX digital mixing console carries on the legacy of the Yamaha MG series — a global standard in mixing consoles — perfectly combining flexibility, performance, and superior sound quality across a wide range of applications, including live sound, installed audio systems, podcasting/live streaming, music production, and recording.
The MGX12 is powerful and exceptionally feature-rich, designed for fast, intuitive operation via its touchscreen GUI and comprehensive physical controls. In addition, its comprehensive I/O options give you the freedom to configure the system to suit any application — from live sound and installed sound systems (whether in concert halls, cafés, clubs, or places of worship), to podcasting, live streaming, and professional recording. The MGX12 adapts seamlessly to any environment. In every situation, operators, artists, and audiences alike will be impressed by its sound quality and performance.
Versatility and Professional Sound Quality You Can Rely On
An audio mixer should offer exceptional versatility to accommodate a wide variety of applications — such as live sound, podcasting and live streaming, and recording — while delivering sound quality that satisfies audiences, musicians on stage, performers, and the professionals who support and shape the entire experience.
The MGX features carefully selected physical I/O and powerful mixing capabilities for flexible sound creation. Built-in DSP effects further enhance its audio processing power, delivering refined, professional sound for any application.
All the Essentials
The MGX12 is equipped with 4 high-quality MGX microphone preamplifiers for mic/line combo inputs, along with 8 line inputs, 2 XLR outputs, 6 TRS OMNI outputs, and 4 headphone jacks, enabling smooth collaboration and versatile monitoring.
Performance. Power. Versatility.
It also offers powerful mixing capabilities, featuring 4 monaural channels, 4 stereo channels, a dedicated Sound Pad, and 2 FX channels, supported by an architecture that includes 8 MIX buses and 1 STEREO bus.
Professional True Sound
Through the pursuit of Yamaha’s "True Sound" philosophy and the use of high-performance AD/DA converters, the MGX microphone preamplifiers achieve an impressive 86 dB gain range (with extremely low distortion) and a 125 dB dynamic range at stereo output. Every nuance of your vocal and instrumental performances will be captured and reproduced with precision.
This meticulous professional sound quality guarantees satisfaction not only for discerning engineers but also for musicians, performers, and audiences alike.
Shape Your Vision
The MGX also offers creative tools such as Gate, Compressor, EQ, Reverb, Amp Simulator, and Voice Changer, allowing you to shape your sound exactly as you envision it. With clear, comfortable monitoring on stage, in the studio, or during live streams, every moment you capture will resonate beautifully.
Wherever You Go
Despite its wealth of features, the MGX12 achieves an exceptionally lightweight design of just 3.9 kg, thanks to precision engineering and carefully selected materials. Without compromising durability, its rugged construction is more than capable of handling a wide range of environments with confidence.
Flexible Performance, Unmatched Versatility
In today’s world, traditional applications — such as live or installed sound, podcasting and live streaming, and recording production — continue to diversify. Hybrid live events that combine stage performances with simultaneous live streaming are becoming increasingly common. To meet these broad demands with greater flexibility, the MGX is designed not only as a multifunctional mixer but also as a versatile hub, equipped with a powerful USB interface, Bluetooth audio connectivity, Sound Pad, and microSD card recording/playback, all integrated into a compact, portable body.

Convenient Bluetooth Audio Input
Bluetooth connectivity allows users to easily integrate wireless audio sources into live performances, live streaming, and studio workflows.

Smart Tools for Superior Results
Auto Gain optimizes input volume; Clip Safe prevents sudden distortion; Total FX provides tools such as a Ducker (which automatically prioritizes important sounds), a multi-band compressor for easily enhancing overall audio quality, and a delay function for lip-sync adjustments.
