Yamaha MG16/4

Small rack console
16 channels, 1 subgroup stro two departures of which 1 with switchable pre-post, 3-band equalizer, inserts on 8 premires channels.
Nice for the price! (Only 8/10 as a semi-parametric equalo would have been welcome, but everything else ok)

USE

Config single Gnrale while bathing if you know how to use a console. Routing nice.
Little shit in inserts: I got fucked Lately wanting insrer put a compress insert on a track. Problem in routing the console: equal bypass when using the insert !!! Strange. is this a my console manufacturing defects or is this normal ... Anyway I have rarely seen a. has surprised me. Not cool at all !!!!

SONORITS

For the price, it sounds pretty good. It's nothing special, but must recognize that they have made strong Yamaha for once. Release a console that price the quality of this is when even monstrous enough (I still think in relative quality of course price is far from being a Soundcraft).
Lightweight breath if you push the pramps as maboules, but more than acceptable. Pramps transparent enough.

NOTICE GLOBAL

Super price quality ratio. I use this console:
1) cab back home studio (octopaire bus output on my other console, the cabin zicos can thus make him even a lil mix for his headphone according to what DSIRE - handy)
2) small scene console for bars, ptits meals, etc ...

Buy approx. 250 in playback. A good deal of after me. A buy eyes closed (apart from this lil problem on the inserts ... strange ... but maybe it's a mine construction default. I do not know ) .dropoff window

I think I saw that many things were already said.

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, an eq Acute Med, Grave, gain per slice, and 2 AUX Pan, ideal for small group, mini home studio or other small configurations ...

With a minimum of knowledge, it is usable by everyone.

The manual seemed clear even though I've never read. In addition, I believe it is available on the website in PDF Yamaha Pro Audio.

SOUNDS

Transparency level, there is a Yamaha sound but nothing too bad, it sounds great.

EQ efficient, even if it only consists of 3 bands, he made his birch, and pretty well.

Question breath, absolutely not.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over four years with a rock band, and he also happened to sound in a jazz trio in small rooms.

I used a lot of style, analog or digital combined (which Yamaha, Soundcraft, Presonus, Digico, Mackie, Behringer Alto or even!)

I love the angles, it is that it is easily rack, in addition to its small size. It is lightweight but strong, with no problem. The finish is impeccable. Is the more time but it is not awful either (well I think: D)

Value for money very good.

I remake this choice if I had a small space to add sound, but now I can not use the I need much more input and effects ...

See site constructor clearer and comprehensive than what I do not

UTILIZATION

Console are more than a very enjoyable makie to live (no parameters as the shelve). missing one or two starting to, the last two installments of the stereo would be equipped with a +4 dBu-10dBV switch instead of being only 10dbvet ss-gain setting possible!. in brief yamaha has done little things by half (for me that is me live in the side is convenient EPUR the ms is a bit too much)

SOUNDS

His own Japanese color ss
preamps minimal (if crappy look beyond the unity gain, ms I do not care machines.pas with tips for recovery of an instrument or microphone)

OVERALL OPINION

As I said very well for its price disinhibits electro lives (it is also more spontaneous with a shot of cum ds, we can blow the things we do not shod on Allen & Heath) ms limit technique is faster felt.
14/20 for live electronik (no Konfusion be the worst states mm ds)
0 / 20 for a Mstera (no parameter / crappy preamps)
08/20 to make a model (vocals-hackers) (even those preamps shame!)
Too bad this table is not over for a better price a little higher.
