All user reviews for the Yamaha MG16/6FX

Rather subjective ... many of: enough for me ...

USE

The accessibility is not bad I think is, except maybe the "corner" general, with the, effects .. but hey it's not a disaster
The manual is very nice, no "frills" that useful thing, small details that make a given envi read it.

SONORITS

Transparant, I can not say too much.
At the breath is suitable, it y'en a little on portions than others, why? I do not know ...
The equalizer is simple, effective. I mean by that installations in speed or with amplified system or other type of triphonic it adequate.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for a year, always present. I had a single problem an evening: there was little level on all slices, I never understood why, since the next day at my branch everything worked properly.
What I like the most, and I use a lot in my case it's subgroups.
Before this one I had an old samick: incomparable ...
Qualitprix the report is interesting, this table is polivalente, I have already had occasion to sound to a group of neo metal, I do a little home studio, the "disco" evenings, I already sonoris a piano duo + song, but as a rule I make techno evening.

I would do this choice without problem.

Table 16-channel rack-mount (8 Mono and 4 Stereo)
6 bus: 2 + 4 Stereo subgroups
Complte connection: XLR, Jack, RCA
Equalizer by paramtrique
Effects section Intgr: 16 programs rverbe and time limit

UTILIZATION

The configuration and installation is simple trs. All the controls are good.
The manual is well done for a Retailer section the principles of mixing for novices.

SOUNDS

Not good dynamic observation of breath (even for condenser microphones supplmentaire no effect).
The legalization is effective and nuance.

OVERALL OPINION

I recently but I test all the functions ventail quickly because I was badly needed to mix a whole bunch of sources diffrent (for recording): condenser microphones, dynamic, keyboard, electric guitar and electro-acoustic.

I am surprised by the possibilities and I complterai opinion within a few days or weeks.

16 channels (8 mono and 4 streos) with switchable phantom power +48 V
Switchable 80Hz high pass filter on each between micro
Pre Fader Listening (PFL)
Two sub-groups and out STREO
Auxiliary 2 (1 pre and 1 pre / post)
XLR connector (microphone inputs and output) jack (line inputs, inserts, auxiliary output), RCA (input and output line)
3-band EQ per channel with medium paramtrique (250Hz 5kHz)
16 multi-effects programs with a parameter adjustable
7-band EQ on the output STREO

UTILIZATION

The mixer is very simple to use, no function or twisted cache, everything is done just trs. The manual is very well described. Well, there is, as any translation of technical doc a few typos and nonsense but trs silmple read and especially the door of everyone. For beginners, the principle of mixing is explained and tips are donns, and for experts, there are all the specs and Schma gnral.

SOUNDS

Trs good sound for this price range.
The legalization is effective with a range SETTING THE 30dB (-15dB +15 dB) for input and 24dB (-12dB +12 dB) on the output.
Cot breath is trs correct vacuum by pushing the faders just means a lightweight breath, but still imperceptible during operation. Moreover, from this point of view, the MG16 / 6 FX on site trs well against other tables in the same price (like a Behringer).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months for the caf-concert and I am satisfied with TRS. Its main asset is its relationship qualitprix because this table is really good for a reasonable price trs. From the perspective of inconvnients could signal the lack of a "mute" on each slice as there are many one "On" button that lets you send or not in each slice toward the exit, but this communties n not affect subgroups ....

So in conclusion, if I were to buy a mixing desk, I will again this MODEL, without hsiter.

16voies, an effects processor, stereo two groups ..

UTILIZATION

Very clear and easy to use, there is everything you want instinctively. And for those who would still have trouble, it comes with a comprehensive manual to learn how to mix ...

SOUNDS

No breath on preamps, EQ is not very useful for my taste, the effects are not bad, on the other hand I find very aggressive in the medium acute ... So be careful, to be taken into consideration in the choice of speakers (I sold it because of that)
Also lacks a bit of tone in the bass.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it a few months all the same it is a very good product especially for the price. Otherwise there is the console behringer mx 3242 ki a lair really really exceptional for the price. I think what my next sra console.

Everything is already said above.
Connection complete
Manufacturing serious
Rackable by returning the lateral angle finish (very good)
Great look!

UTILIZATION

General Config simple and clear. The manual is not necessary.
Just one thing I find strange: the master and the control room / headphone act simultaneously on the volume, it is a shame because sometimes we want to hear the control room and not the master (which was possible on my previous console) .
UPDATE 25 MARS 2005: 2 large defect can not have any effect on return shipments groups (half or three quarters) except multi purpose house, or when you should use a slice console to send the effect of the switches and switch groups, it was really bad! I lower the score of 2 points!

SOUNDS

You can hear a breath if you push a little gain and channel fader 0dB after. Be careful though set levels! The equalizer is mortal, and looks more like a filter that will be the balance is a pure crystalline sound too. Personally, I like it too much. Besides, I not recognize the sound of my rhythm box! Use with moderation, especially the Low Medium.
UPDATE 25 MARS 2005: the equalization of the channel is really tricky to use, then I is not! pots and Zero! Too bad. I lower the note one point!

OVERALL OPINION

I just have it for Christmas and I use it since so few days.
For the price is more than correct (390 euros), but I have a bit of my hunger for the equalizer, I expected better (more transparent). But then again, the report qualitprix is ​​excellent.
UPDATE 25 MARS 2005: that is after three months of use a second opinion, it's really a very good restaurant for the price, but it has faults! A little too east "live" and not enough "home studio" my taste. But hey, the price ................. I might prefer a used Mackie (who has not suffered too much!). I see the note down, but again it's still a very good restaurant.

The CHARACTERISTICS have dja taient give.

I only regret that there have no spars 4 groups, but that one is obliged to asigner routes to groups 1 +2 or 3 +4.

UTILIZATION

Trs easy to use, it can not be used directly without reading the instructions, I received it yesterday (the feast of music) I had a concert in the evening, and I I could grate steak with no problem ....
The manual and clear and laid the foundations of the mix. It also gives us some kind of connection configurations ... trs well done .... Nothing to say ...

SOUNDS

It is only two days I use it ... so I repost a notice deus later ...
But a priori pramps are without breath if one grows up to 3 / 4 recess APRS ca breath ... but ... given the reserve of gain I do not think that there I need to push further ... pramp
The equalizer is very effi ... I have scratches on my acoustic bass that stand out too much feedback and I was able to put in a Instantel same level as the rest of the spectrum .. more feedback ... miracle!
lol
The effects are effectively to embellish a little .. even when used with modrations ... but to put a ptite rverbe on the road or at a scratch live is ample enough for ... Studio must find something else ...
The console as a whole is transparent ... plutt APRS I could say that with more use ...

Last, the power supply! it is heavy but it really feels with security .... b frankly the stuff ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it only for two days but have a dja Sonoris with.
What I like most?
The reserve of gain, Galis, effects.
The least?
Sparer, but not 4 bus 2 bus route to be rel 4 outputs.
Lack of a mute gnaral (on / off button does not mute on each track as the master and not els groups.)
I tried to normment MODEL acqurir before I train here and in the little difrent live, and I think the price is unbeatable.

I'm not going to rpter CHARACTERISTICS, Yamaha site is very well done for a. Personally I think she is beautiful and has trs of geule.

UTILIZATION

Trs good manual, well done Yamaha. Operation is simple and effective. Trs good returns management. For us it is a use of scne (5 musicians) and it gives us Entire satisfaction.

SOUNDS

Hard to notice a sound we enter the subjective total. The sound system is a string complte: microphone, mixer, amp and speakers. If one is not good lment others will suffer. As we do not use the résumé qualiseur gnral and effects Intgr amnent breath. This is when even one entry. It is part of Inter-M CM20.5 amp and all ElectroVoice Eliminator (see my other opinion), sending all not bad.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for beginners 2005, trs a good product considering its price. Although there are better sr, one traveling in Ferrara will design does not drive a Twingo, each means. Yamaha makes good products, strong with a good report quality price trs. I recommend this table because I hsit before you buy without knowing what to choose, if my opinion can help ... but unfortunately in the end, I RPET, everything is based on its budget.

Console Rack 19 "
10 mono channels, 4 stereo channels
semi-parametric EQ
built-in effects
2 to 4 lanes would have been better

UTILIZATION

Easy and common functions easily accessible
The manual is very well thought out with many examples that help

SOUNDS

The preamp is not bad, it's not Behringer, and I find the breath minimal.
As for the equalizer and it boost the sound so weird so if its settings must be made again.
Personal I set off at a neutral I made my balance and I refine the equalizer in the final. It's still a useful little gadget but it's better a real equalizer

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years and am quite happy although I am beginning to be limited ways.
It is a good model to start with and it satisfied any group up to 7 people in small rooms, but because the battery quickly takes a lot of ways.
I had an old soundcraft not too bad and I tried a behringer there's no photo, yam is more the price / quality ratio is excellent.
She used amp with 2 front (Yam and Phonic) 2 celestion speaker boxes and 2 Eminence 2x1100w all for rms amp with an intermediate + 2enceintes yam (2x500w rms) in return and it's ben nickel.
I would do without hesitation that choice
