The Yamaha MG10/2 Stereo Mixer is the way to go if you simply need to mix a few sources to stereo but you insist on the finest audio quality available. It's compact and convenient to use, but won't compromise your signal in any way. With an optional adapter, the MG10/2 can even be mounted on a microphone stand for totally flexible positioning and easy access. For demo and music production in your personal studio, for band rehearsal, small sound reinforcement applications, or as a super utility mixer for any application, you can't lose with the MG10/2. 10 input channels The MG10/2 features a total of 10 input channels: 2 mono microphone/line inputs and 4 stereo line inputs, 2 of which offer mono microphone input capability. 4 low-noise, high-precision mic preamps The microphone preamps provided on the 2 mono channels and 2 of the 4 stereo channels would be worth the price of the entire mixer if packaged separately. These are high-performance head amplifiers that will bring out the best in any dynamic or condenser microphone. Phantom power So you can take advantage of the superior sonic quality of professional-class studio condenser microphones, all 4 of the MG10/2's high-performance mic preamps feature switchable phantom power. A single switch turns phantom power on or off for all 4 channels. Insert I/O Mono input channels feature insert I/O patch points so you can add compressors, EQ, or other extra signal processing to the channels as required. 3-band channel EQ and HPF Designed for smooth, musical response, the 3-band equalizers provided on all input channels are one more sonic tool you can use to create clean, professional mixes. All mono microphone input channels also feature a switchable high-pass filter that can be used to cut out unwanted low-frequency noise. 2 aux sends and stereo aux return The MG10/2 is also fully equipped to handle external effects and monitor systems. Use the post-fader auxiliary sends in conjunction with the stereo auxiliary returns to add reverb, delay, or other external effects to the mix, and use the pre-fader sends to feed a separate mix to your monitor system. Optional mic stand mount What could be more convenient than having your mixer mounted on a microphone stand for freedom of placement and easy access? With the optional BMS-10A Mic Stand Adapter, you can do just that and have your sonic control center within easy reach all the time.
