Premium D-PRE Mic Preamps for Crystal-Clear Sound

At the heart of the MG Series lies Yamaha’s D-PRE mic preamps with a discrete class-A inverted Darlington circuit. This advanced design ensures fat, natural bass, smooth highs, and ultra-low distortion, delivering an exceptionally wide frequency range. The result is a pure, transparent sound that minimises the need for excessive EQ or extra effects, saving you time while preserving fidelity.

High-Quality Op-Amps and Dynamic Control

Each channel utilises custom MG01 op-amps developed with semiconductor specialists, designed to prioritise pristine sound quality. These op-amps employ premium internal components for enhanced resolution and sonic accuracy.

The innovative 1-knob compressors simplify professional-level dynamic processing. Instantly tighten vocals, drums, or bass with a single control, eliminating the complexity of conventional compressors.

Comprehensive EQ and Noise Management

Fine-tune your audio with three-band equalisation on every mono channel for precise tone shaping. The built-in high-pass filters effectively remove unwanted low-frequency noise, ensuring a cleaner, smoother mix.

Flexible Connectivity and Effects

Expand your setup with AUX sends for external effects, monitoring, or recording devices. The MG Series consoles feature send controls and bus assignments for easy channel grouping. The included SPX digital effects processor offers 24 editable effects such as realistic reverb and delay to add depth and atmosphere to live or recorded sound. An optional FC5 footswitch can provide hands-free effects control.

Built to Endure

Designed for professional rigours, the rugged metal chassis withstands the demands of gigging and studio use alike. The internal layout isolates the power supply for low noise and enhanced reliability, while elevated knobs protect internal circuits from physical impact.

The built-in universal power supply supports worldwide voltages and minimises the need for external adapters, ideal for portable or installed use.
