    Ell is rackable

    UTILIZATION

    The manual is complete in pdf

    Which add nothing said by Logan t adj.

    UTILIZATION

    For tbc that just said Logan, who am an amateur (even when warned) in my home studio, it is true that the same manual is lousy: 13 pages!
    For a console with such opportunities, it's a little hard to learn!
    Only dernire page served me REALLY is in this "manual": the block diagram for understanding how it works.

    SOUNDS

    I'm probably less demanding. I find it perfect, almost no wind.
    It is also true that I only use electronic instruments above (PC + Audio Output card number Synths and Sound Modules).

    Actually it's a console that looks like a robust trs. (This is quite common with Yamaha for that matter).

    If I had aquérir a console today, my choice would still be on it without hsiter.

    Overall I agree with the opinions two previous ones. I have 4 years and nothing was wrong above, c stuff really reliable.

    UTILIZATION

    No problem, use it at a table like any other, for against the manual sucks.

    SOUNDS

    The 7-band eq is really helpful for me and good quality

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have 4 years and frankly I have no regrets. Nothing to do with a Behringer .... there is no better quality level price.
    You can go there with eyes closed

    Can be connected at the same time a return which the volume RULES (cr out), headphones, an analog to distribute and one to save.
    It is possible to record consquent a concert is going o the voices and the guitars kick in the table and sounds on CD, or k7 sampler at the same time passing through the table! !

    UTILIZATION

    The table is simple to use despite its overall ability tense
    The manual is not as against average and not long trs trs explicit
    The only real challenge is to identify the well Systm 4 outputs (bus) for beginners: For example, you can save a dmo through the table and connecting an MD or deck k7
    But also if you save a multi-k7 4 outputs so you'll have 4-way bills diffrent
    Example:
    a voice output with external compressor and reverb of the table
    Output 2 guitar
    Output 3 battery with external compressor 2 and the table rverb
    4 output bass with external compressor

    SOUNDS

    The console is trs trs good performance for live sound, good for home studio
    No breath
    The reverb is for the same thing, impeccable live it is a little possibility to limit the home studio, but the 3 RGBS proposed are not problem

    OVERALL OPINION

    The MX12 / 4 ets the mixer used in most rental stores hardware for three simple reasons:

    1 / Soliditbr /> 2 / Versatility
    3 / Price

    I have used for thirty concerts but also for many dmo: The prampli is of good quality even if just for a little home studio is professional.
    The big advantage of the console:

    1 / 4 bus (output shares) diffrent, ideal for home studio)
    2 / reverb intgre correct (ideal for live, a little less for the home studio)

    In short it is the comfort for groups small budget for that price no one console as versatile and reliable (behringer, phonic, mackie)

    This console features 12 inputs, 8 XLR mono and 2 inputs in Stereo jack.
    The key point is that it has four subgroups, which is rare for tables of this price range. It was t the reason for my purchase.
    The outputs of the sub groups are jack, the output XLR gnrale is, there is also an RCA output with volume potentiomtre indpendant.
    Also available: 6.35 headphone output jack (with volume), the insert is on each track jack, between RCA device as CD or another.

    SOUNDS

    The sound is good, the console is transparent is operating without a breath.
    When recording, I attack the 4 inputs of my catre 66 thanks to its delta 4 subgroups and everything is niquel.

    OVERALL OPINION

    J'utlise this table since January 2000 and I had no worries.
    Trs good value quality price.

    Unfortunately, this console, relatively intuitive and complete has not been designed to work at 100% capacity.

    In use, the output (T) is given the mix of groups 1 to 4 is the mix of channels assigned in groups 3 and 4.
    Concretely, it was not possible to do a different mix of groups 1, 2, 3, 4, ST. There is, in use as four groups, or two groups and one master.

    The effects section is very convenient though somewhat restrictive setting ... parameters are fixed! :-(

    The aux sends are relatively intuitive, it is best to do a little hand before using.

    I already had the opportunity to use the phantom power supply, nothing to say ...

    Anyway, this console is very well stocked with potential despite its price!

    SOUNDS

    Considering the price of the console, it is difficult to ask for more as settings. The corrections are effective, the console does not blow.

    The only problem is the echo chamber introduces a slight buzz ... particular case or feature of the series ... I do not know (other users seem not to suffer).
    Note that this buzz is back very quickly in the signal.

    Anyway, I must admit that this section that the effect was troubleshooting ... and for troubleshooting ... it is still effective!

    I remain very satisfied with his settings.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this console for a year soon ... no changes, no aging ... It must be said she has always traveled in flight ...

    I had the opportunity recently to compare it to a Mackie 1604 VLZ ... the sound difference necessarily benefit the Mackie ... c on. But the Yamaha definitely wins the battle in terms of access to functionality.

    After a year Aveve MX 12 / 4, I ordered a MG 32/14fx rpouve which although I was generally very happy with the console, its construction and its reliability.

Not too bad in Caf'Conc 'or video, but more sensitive in recording. The difference with a Mackie (warmer and more transparent) or a Soundcraft folio (cleaner sound) "jumps to the ears." Ditto for the blast, not fatal, but slightly more pronounced.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used it from 2002 to 2004, and since I switched to Mackie. This console was an excellent deal at the time of its release: it offered new features in this price: less than 500E could have a strong console and serious for the little sound, suitable for recording and video . Its big advantage is its rock-solid, which made its success in the rental companies. Also significant: the multi-effects and EQ on the general, who can afford to do without external processors on demanding little of the benefits (conférences. ..).
    Yamaha seems to have improved on the next series preamps (MG 12 / 4 FX), while lowering prices.
    Compare with: Phonic (worst) Behringer (better sound, but less robust due to the external power supply), or small consoles that sound a little better: Alesis, Soundcraft Spirit, Mackie 1402 or 1642, or Allen and Heath Wizard if your budget allows ...

    I find her little sister technically superior the MG12 / 4 (except prampli that I could do the testing)

    Not very practical, it is mandatory to go through a bus to get out of his on the general;
    The routing of the integrated reverb is not clear ...
    Really weird!

    No breath, but the preamps and eq's very limit!

    what he manque2: a PFL, in fact the possibility is not a way of prcouter, ca c boring. We can fake using an auxiliary, c but not clean.

    background music for a concert, it can make very bns of services for small groups wishing to play in a bar or a folk singer, but hey There's only 8XLR

    disassemble the c super boring There's at least 50 screws you take the time

    UTILIZATION

    Personally I had purchased a shuffled routes magnto multitrack, she served for bars in the complment 16pistes, or simply rpart a signal between two sound systems but I never slip, it is modest, but Fidler

    Use: gigs, it will make you good services.

    SOUNDS

    A little out of breath when you push the pramplis but not excessive for a small amateur concert.

    Nice for beginners
