The Yamaha MG10XU is a premium 10-channel analog mixer with built-in digital effects that combines studio-grade components with an intuitive interface to delivers transparent, high-fidelity sound for live performance and recording applications.

Premium Yamaha Sound Through D-PRE Mic Preamps

The MG10XU is equipped with Yamaha's acclaimed D-PRE preamps, which provide a warm, rich tone to capture the natural sound of vocals and acoustic instruments. The preamps offer switchable +48V phantom power for condenser mics along with PAD switches to prevent distortion.

Built-In SPX Digital Effects

To polish your mix, the MG10XU features a suite of Yamaha's SPX digital effects including reverb, delay, modulation and distortion. With editable parameters, you have full control to enhance your sound. The effects can be applied to all channels or selected channels, adding depth and dimension to live performances or recordings.

Flexible Connectivity for Any Application

With its rugged, roadworthy design, the MG10XU is ideal for small club gigs, churches and mobile recording setups. It offers four XLR/TRS combo inputs, two TRS stereo inputs, and RCA and USB connectivity. The USB out sends your main mix to a DAW for recording, while the RCA outputs connect to a PA system or powered monitors.

Intuitive Interface and High-Visibility LED Metering

Despite its advanced features, the MG10XU is designed for quick, intuitive operation. It provides one-knob compressors, 3-band EQs and LED metering on each channel strip. The mixer's uncluttered layout ensures stress-free adjustments on the fly. With outstanding quality, flexibility, and ease of use, the MG10XU is a superb compact mixer for crafting and capturing your best live sound.

Fantastic Mixer!

This mixer is fantastic! High quality controls and finish, the sound is superb. I bought another brand (I wont mention it but it starts with a 'B'), and it burnt itself in 5 minutes. This mixer is all you need if you're either experimenting or playing in bars with your band, I highly recommend it. The guitar center staff is really knowledgeable and will let you pick whatever your heart desires, but this is a no-brainer. Unless you need some fancy features, this is definitely the entry level mixer to get. I love it!

Clean but it gets HOT

With the pandemic it became clear I needed to up my video conferencing gear. Being mostly an acoustic player with vocals and a second guitar and vocalist, I wanted to be able to handle at least 4 mics. This mixer got great reviews. The sound is very clean. That's what I wanted. What I didn't like was how hot the back of the unit would get. I measured 115 degrees with a digital thermometer. Heat is not a friend to solid state devices. Computers too. It really bugged me. I have the mixer sitting on top of a metal riser used for computer monitors. The riser is perforated and sits 6" above my desk. There is plenty of air around the mixer. This is my second unit. I returned the first because of the same issue. No one at the store had heard of the heat issue with this mixer. Previously is had a Allen & Heath mixer that was pretty good. It never got hot. After seeing this happen, I would now guess this heating up of the mixer is a common issue with it. It makes me question the longevity of the mixer. How long can it go before the heat begins to affect the internal parts? Something will eventually fry.

    I've had this mixer for three years so it's out of warranty. I've used it less than a dozen times and it has always been stored in original packaging. The meter lights don't work no matter the gain settings. This is the second Yamaha mixer that has failed me in this way. Disappointing.

    I have used or tried multiple mixer, because of the price compared to harbinger or phynex mixers, I delayed in buying this. But then I got a good deal and finally bought it. It is a great mixer, I use it for karaoke nights and DJ. Good one for small group.

    While mainly used for home recording, it is tempting to use for small karaoke gigs. Currently I use this for more gain and run the mics to my old Lexicon Omega interface. It works great!

    You can do that. I don't know what laptop you refer to but I guess it doesn't have 1/4" or RCA outputs. That is what's needed for the inputs. You will need adaptors depending what your laptop has.

    If you need a balanced signal, you'll need something like the "Livewire Elite Quad XLR Microphone Cable". You can also use 1/4" to 14" cable.
