Yamaha EMX312SC

The Yamaha EMX312SC is a dual 300 watt powered mixer. You will get a great sound with this mixer, I noticed the quality of the sound immediately the first time I used it. The compression on it is so easy to use, it is basically just one knob to use for compression and it will change the dynamics of your audio quickly. I really love what it does with bass; it gives the bass that punchy but still smooth sound that not a lot of mixer can do anymore.
There are some effects on the EMX312SC too, chorus, flanger, distortion and reverb are just a few of them but I think there are about 15 total. They all sound great and are very usable, and the effects will be able to be used on each channel.
This mixer is a great choice for a live show, there are a total of 12 inputs and 8 channels. This gave me just what we needed while we were using it. This mixer is not as portable as I thought it was going to be though. It was a lot heavier than what I expected it to be and if I had to use it a lot I think I would eventually want something lighter with the same specs. There are other mixers that have the same exact specs but are lighter. The knobs are made well and the LED meters are bright and easy to see in any kind of lighting. This is a professional mixer armed with phantom power and all of the bells and whistles you could ever need.
Overall this mixer is great for live events and I highly recommend it. All of the mixers in this line from Yamaha seem to be pretty good. They are all basically the same just more or less inputs on each one. Great control and compression!
