All user reviews of 4/5 for the 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

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.

- The qualiseur paramtrique is it?

- The effects section is it intgre?
No, they are on 16 / 4 FX

UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?
Nothing could be simpler

- The usual functions are they easily accessible?
The buttons are sized and impcables enough space to work without any drgler.

- The manual is clear and sufficient?
Not have to open it, so I know.

SOUNDS

- The console is transparent?
I compared it with a Mackie Onyx 1220, the current REFERENCE, my Yamaha is a little less dynamic but the sound is right, yamaha lgre color in a very powerful high mdium but nothing serious, the piano sounds is a bit obvious.
In all cases for 230 less than the Mackie's report quality price is better.

- Introduced she breath?
Then I stayed on my ass for that price, in home studio with Diva 18 in monitor speakers you have to push the wafer and the master 15 Db to begin hearing a little breath, and I do not know anyone who works this way ...
For the price again Yamaha is super strong.

- The qualiseur is it effective?
Good for the cons is not amrique, disont for sounds numriques rights of peasants screaming synths last ca the fact, if you have a Gibson Les Paul from 1970 to craquotte or frisote or Berhinger vocal mic, it will be the lightweight. (yes there are still people who buy Berhinger ...)
Good to be said that even if I RPET for the price is nickel.

OVERALL OPINION

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Report quality + price
+ The right
+ Lack of breath
+ Dynamics
+ Ergonomics
+ The pramps not bad for the price
+ The complete routing
+ The quality of the faders
+ The look
- The Equal somewhat lightweight
- No switch for each mic / line (AC banana too when you plug in a synth XLR same gains 0)

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
With my mtier rgisseur sound of running I worked on all the consoles out there, from the smallest Soundcraft Spirit trs poo the largest numrique that costs the price of one house saint tropez, Euphonix kills serious example.
I had a studio in my Allen & Heath GL 2200 / 424 that I sold to tear the eye problem room in my home stud.

- How do you report qualitprix?
I bought this little yamaha while waiting for funds for a DM1000 or O2R V2 96.
For intrim, even if it s'ternise, this little MG 16 / 4 wide enough for me with a smile and more.
Frankly it is tightened to a Nickel budjet serious sound pro, I pse my words, "pro" for a price of beginners amateur.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice?
I would do without this choice hsiter, I encourage low budjets looking for good stuff even in the prods df not hsiter not one second.
Fawn is not any RVer, Yamaha is a big REFERENCE, it's hard to crash it with this brand.

PS: I do not recommend to add the 100 for the FX version, by the against the effects are super nazes ... for the live band in the limit dpanage let's say, but then the studio m rve not me.
