    8-channel mic / line + 2 stereo + back end and i / o Magneto
    inserts on the first 4-way
    To 2 (1 pre 1 post, assignable to the internal effects or external effects) + 4 + groups with direct mono output (control room ...)
    EQ 3-band fixed by + 7 bands on the master

    UTILIZATION

    Console easy to use, robust and functional. Good features / price.

    SOUNDS

    The sound is not rewarding. The preamps are suffering from a "veil" light slightly stuffy mediums (hotspot!). The equalizer of General does not compensate for this defect. Not too bad in Caf'Conc 'or video, but more sensitive in recording. The difference with a Mackie (warmer and more transparent) or a …

    SOUNDS

    The sound is not rewarding. The preamps are suffering from a "veil" light slightly stuffy mediums (hotspot!). The equalizer of General does not compensate for this defect. 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 ...
