Yamaha - MG24/14FX

Description/Specs

MG24/14FX, MG32/14FX, MIXING CONSOLES

Serious Capacity For Sound Reinforcement & Installations

If your application is live sound reinforcement, you'll want all the channel capacity you can get - just in case. Vocal mics, instrument mics, stereo keyboards, direct-injection feeds, drum mics, and the rest can add up very quickly. With 24 and 32 input channels, respectively, the MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX are ready to handle all but the most ambitious sound-reinforcement setups. And with dual SPX digital effect systems on-board, you won't need racks of outboard gear to get the sound you need. There's also a comprehensive range of group and auxiliary busses to make even complex mixes easy.

24 or 32 Input Channels

Choose either the 24-channel MG24/14FX or the 32-channel MG32/14MX according to your needs. All other features are the same. The MG24/14FX has 16 mono microphone/line channels while the MG32/14FX has 24. Both offer four stereo line channels in addition to the mono mic/line channels. Low-noise, High-precision Mic Preamps With Phantom Power

All 16 mic preamps in the MG24/14FX and all 24 mic preamps in the MG32/14FX are of exemplary quality. They offer low-noise, transparent amplification with the widest possible range of dynamic and condenser microphones, which adds up to cleaner, better-sounding mixes. All mic preamps feature switchable phantom power for phantom-powered studio condenser microphones. Phantom power is switchable in 8-channel groups. Illuminated Switches Illuminated ON (channel), PFL (Pre-Fader Listen), and phantom-power switches let you confirm critical console settings at a glance.

14 Buses In All For Flexible Signal Routing

In addition to lots of input channels, live sound reinforcement applications usually demand a number of additional mixes - usually in the form of group sub-mixes and aux sends for external signal processing and monitor mixes. In both the MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX you have a total of 14 mix buses: the main stereo program bus, four stereo group bus pairs for convenient channel grouping, six auxiliary busses (four configurable for pre- or post-fader operation and two set up as effect sends), and two internal effect busses that feed the dual high-performance built-in effect processors.

Insert I/O

All mono input channels feature insert I/O patch points so you can insert compressors, EQ, or other extra signal-processing gear into the channel signal path as required.

3-band Mid-sweep Channel EQ and HPF

The 3-band equalizers with a sweepable midband provided on all input channels are designed for exceptionally smooth, intuitive response that can help you to create cleaner, tighter mixes. All mono microphone input channels also feature a switchable high-pass filter that can be used to cut out unwanted low-frequency noise.

Dual SPX Digital Effects

In the MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX you have not one, but two high-performance digital signal processing stages, fed by separate effect buses, so you can enhance your mix with two separate effects at the same time. And the effects are provided by the very latest Yamaha DSP technology - you know you're getting the best. Each stage provides a selection of 16 professional - quality SPX digital effects, including reverb, delay, pitch change, chorus, phasing, vocal doubling, distortion, and more. Parameter controls that can be adjusted to tailor the effects to your sonic requirement are also provided and Tap delay makes it easy to produce tempo-synchronized delays.

Talkback Input

Communication capability is important for efficient setup as well as for keeping a show running smoothly. The MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX both feature a talkback system that allows the FOH engineer to communicate with the monitor engineer, performers, or other staff to keep the team operating at optimum efficiency.

Balanced XLR Stereo and Mono Outputs

Professional connectivity is provided by reliable XLR-type balanced stereo and mono outputs.

Sweepable LPF for Mono Out

One of the many uses for a mono output is to drive a subwoofer system. The MG24/14FX and MG32/14FX make this easier than ever with a built-in sweepable low-pass filter on the mono outputs.

Unbelievable! Posted by Rizzo from LA on 2/20/2010

Comments: Our church did full Yamaha replacement. The Yamaha Mg24/14FX has the most built in processors for the price. A couple features are talk back and group mixing. You set and one button lets you mix mics and music. It also produces great sound with Yamaha amp, we got the P3500 @ 590 Watts per channel. unbelievable quality sound. Yamaha is simply the best for the price that others charge much more for, all built in. If you need more channels get the MG32/14fx with same features.

record live to cd - Posted by: mike on 2/5/2011 connection to a cd recorder to record live to RE: record live to cd - Posted by: John Gentry on 2/7/2011 I would recomend comming out of one of the aux out ...Assign it to pre fade and then that will allow you to adjust your recording mix without affecting the main or monitor mix. Please let me know if you have any questions...you can reach me at ext 2032 Hope this helps.
