  • I was looking for something that was reliable sounded great, and had a good feature set
Size: 10-input Style: USB Interface with Effects
I looked at buying a few different mixers before deciding on this one. I was looking for something that was reliable sounded great, and had a good feature set. This mixer is great for a few reasons 1) It's yamaha. They are generally pretty reliable. I own other yamaha music equipment and haven't had any issues with any of those items 2) Has good fx including a compressor. The mic compressor alone makes this product so much better then other mixers in terms of versatility. For recording its nice to have a little compression for the vocal before it hits the AD converter. 3) You can use this as an interface. I can't comment on its use as a an interface as I own a universal audio solo 610 interface that I love. But its a good feature to have. 4) The reverb: sounds wonderful. Particularly room 1, fx 3. It helps to glue everything together and put it in the same space. 5) The use the fx send and it has been great for a ton of uses. I use it mostly as an external bus. Whats great here is that you can use the internal effect like say a reverb and mix in a little. You can simultaneously use the fx send and send out to a delay unit, and then place the return on another channel. Other units its fx send or internal fx, you won't be able to use both. 6) Feels sturdy and seems well built. So far i've had it on well over 20 hours of use and its been good. I'll update this in a few months. 7) Value. For the money if you compare the comparable mixers like behringer and mackie I think the choice is clear. Both of the former companies have reliability issues. Mackie preamps are good but fx are bad. Behringer preamps are hit and miss but fx are good. Yamaha is overall great. Cons: For me nothing really except I wish the EQ had three bands for every channel. And I wish I could have an fx send that wasn't tied to the internal fx. ... show more

  • Excellent product, could be better
Size: 6-input Style: Standard Mixer
Having used other audio mixer brands, Yamaha was the best tbat lasted. Easy to adjust sounds knobs, easy interface (used youtube). Pro - Used this in a hot yoga studio, has not broken down but would recommend a fan flowing to keep it cool. Channels work very independently and very accurate in sound setting. Bought this in 2024 so its been a year. Con: The DI or the feedback sound (pending on speaker type jack, in my case rca), had to buy DI box to lower the feedback sound. Grade and sturdiness is way beyond other mixers. @Yamaha - if you can build a mixer that can lower the amount of feedback dull noise, would appreciate it. ... show more

  • Fantastic , but not happy about cord packaged in typical figure 8 , it will never straighten out.
Size: 10-input Style: USB Interface with Effects
...Then number one thing on stage is how you sound, however, looking good (as best we can) is also important. Yamaha goes out of there way to make us look bad and create dangerous trip hazards; The cord is sent to you wadded up in a figure at , so you have a serpintine power cord that will always look like trash and become a trip hazard, add insult to injury they give you a humongous power supply , that is in the middle of the cord, it should be integrated or a foot or so from the wall socket/power source end. There is NO excuse for anyone to send you a waded up figure 8 cord, a round coil never takes up more room and runs a straight line when you uncoil it, shame on yamaha, not to go over the trip hazard again, but it is also there. One last minor issue is that I would prefer the grounds on the balanced mic cords to be reversed or oriented toward the top or backside of the mixer, cause I like to used 90angle low profile balanced outs, so the can only run straight across the board in my case. Thats the bad stuff , now the good; Love the unit itself, I didn't even open the manual if it came with one, pretty intuitive if you've ever had a mixing board with onboard effects. The effects are limited to one at a time or a preset mix, which is really bad for some, but I'm fine with it, I only need one basic sound. I like effect 4, I turn it way up on my vocal channel and about 1/2 or less in the global sound pretty natural to my ears. The unit itself also looks great, layout is good, sound is great, of course you need decent active/powered speakers to go along with it and a good mic , as is true in most cases today. There is no noise when I turn the power switch on or off, while speakers are on, bravo, that is nice. I place this on a music stand, with notepad by its side, I have the music stand fixed, so the tray can't possibly swivel, before I locked it in by drilling and bolting the weight of the unit would cause it to spill everything on the ground, music stands aren't made for that kind of weight, but it makes things very convenient, and when fixed' , pretty bullet proof. I strap cables to the stand so they exit the area low as opposed to high, you can figure out why lol..... I read numerous reviews on like priced boards, chose this one , with maybe a feature here or there missing, or features I don't need added, but the cores is there and reliability was rated above pretty much all the others, so for an extra $20.00 approx, I got something that I have a pretty good idea won't develope scratchy/noisy pots, and naggling fails after 6 mos or a year. One issue that many of you will see as a plus is the connectivity , I did not want any of that, I just wanted a great live performance machine, and hoped that the developement money and components would not suffer do to features that I don't need nor want. Overall, I'm very happy with the board itself. ... show more
