All user reviews for the Yamaha MG166C

Table 16-track mix rack, XLR or jack, 4-band equalization, channel 3 returns, no effect, + 48v phantom power. integrated compressor 8 preamps on mono and 2 stereo tracks for entering with microphones, for meter input.

UTILIZATION

for anyone who speaks a mixing desk, not rocket science, the manual is almost obsolete, for beginners, the (same) manual is revealed clearly and effectively, it will be enough to scrape a few hours to see more clearly, a compressor is what I call effective unless it is expected is a big Larcen, but that can be used with partimonie on vocals, bass and bass drum.

SOUNDS

For my part, I could not find a breath, it does not change the grain of the voice or instrumentals. in addition she has a face!
ability to master the master stereo output or in groups 1-2 or 3-4 so can put behind a lot of hp to get my head.
for me the best compromise value for money: € 270 in tho ....

OVERALL OPINION

before I had three tables behringer mass for live and recordings and I must admit that it gets better.
a choice I do it again with closed eyes.
I would put 10/10.

Characteristics (not exhaustive):
8 tracks mono, 4 stereo tracks (16 mono so ...), 3 shipments total effect and SEND
INSERT also on each mono track, Equal HIGH, MID and LOW, semi-param to
the MID, compressor on mono tracks.
Jack + XLR connectors.
Several groups of outputs, etc..

UTILIZATION

Studio use for me.
Super simple setup, it was more 'out':
Stereo Out, Monitor Out (for headphones in particular), Rec Out, group 1 / 2 and
Group 3 / 4 ...
Easy to select for each track to which output on the road, with a
switch. Very easy to listen to a track through headphones, to play another
on his amp ... etc..

SOUNDS

Impeccable, nothing to say on that side!
But hey ... I'm not audiophile

OVERALL OPINION

I like for a month and I chose the table based on my
needs, it suits me perfectly!
I could just cable once and for all and needs to reconnect
my (very cheap) Yellow cable every 30 seconds ...
