Small with Power: Yamaha MG82CX 8 Input Stereo Mixer with Digital Effects

The MG82CX is a compact mixer with 8 total input channels: four mono and four stereo line inputs. Mono inputs completes with switchable 48V phantom power. Stereo inputs can accept either RCA or ¼" connectors. Channels 1 and 2 offer single-knob compression, a Yamaha exclusive. This feature, designed for easy use, allows inputs with very wide dynamics to be better heard. For example, with the right amount of compression, a vocal that must be whispered in quiet parts and screamed out in louder parts will be dynamically better balanced in the mix. The built-in digital effect, based on Yamaha’s award winning SPX line of processors, offers 16 reverb, delay and echo editable presets. Dual 8-segment LED meters allow visual monitoring of the main stereo outputs. A small footprint allows easy placement.

Effect/Aux Sends
The MG82CX has EFFECT send controls on all channels that adjust the level of the signal sent from the corresponding channel to the mixer's internal multi-effect system. The same signal can also be sent to external effect processors via the mixer's EFFECT SEND jack. The MG102C has AUX send controls on all channels in place of the MG82CX EFFECT send controls, and these adjust the level of the signal sent from the corresponding channel to the AUX SEND jack that can be used to feed external effects or a monitor system. A RETURN control in the master section of both models adjusts the level of the signal returned from external processors via the RETURN jacks.

Stereo, Control Room, Monitor, and Headphone Outputs
Located above the mixer's master controls, on the convenient easy-access connector panel, are the main stereo output connectors, phone-jack monitor output connectors, pin-jack recording outputs, and a stereo headphone jack. They may be compact, but these mixers offer plenty of connectivity for a wide range of applications.

Easy Operation
All switches, controls, and displays have been designed and laid out for intuitive access and smooth, reliable operation with positive tactile and visual feedback.
