A solid, no frills performer
Yamaha MG10XU Analog Mixer
Reviewed by Todd B. on Reverb
I use this for podcasting, and it works great - it has enough inputs to handle multiple sources, the USB interface sounds good enough for what I am doing (no noise or hiss issues) - and I use the basic compression included on one of the first two channels to help level out the feed from my remote co-host. Can't comment too much on the built-in preamps since I go line-in from outboard equipment for my mic, but I am sure they are usable. Headphone amp is strong, which is a big plus. EQ is usable for basic stuff. I don't use the built-in effects - instead I use the FX bus to create an aux mix, which it works well for. No compatibility issues on multiple versions of Windows and Adobe Audition. I've been using the MG10XU for 4 years now and it has been reliable. Good bargain for a basic mixer. ... More

I have a home studio of sorts. I was using a PreSonus Audiobox DI. Been plugging directly into it with instrument and mic. Wanted better control over both independently with room to grow should a friend come play too. Was looking at the Mackie but ended up getting this from Yamaha. I preferred this board layout over the Mackie. The 24 FX settings are a huge plus. Seems to be a well built mixer. Very happy with the purchase. The only con is the meter. You really need to tweak all settings to get good meter action, not only on this board but also speakers (turn down vol). I still run it thru my PreSonus along with my computer music because I use a 9-band equalizer. ... More

I use this mixer to announce sporting events. The 10 Channel input makes it easy to add two microphones. For those that use iPod type music devices, 3.5mm to RCA or large connector work well. I do appreciate the FX especially when dealing with bad amps, stadium issues, etc. Also, voice tone/control can be modified to a certain extent. This is my 2nd Yamaha mixer. The product works well and recommend it to others.

This little mixer is awesome! It's solid in build and is small and compact and has plenty of channels for me. As a mobile Dj I love this thing and I have looked far and wide for a small, compact, durable and solid mixer that isn't big and bulky and takes up a lot of space. This thing sounds great and you can't beat the price. Won't buy another mixer again.

Just perfect for my needs.

Yamaha makes good stuff, that lasts and performs, so when I needed a new board, I went with this. I perform solo, duo, occasional small band gigs, and this handles it well. 4 really good combo channels, and 3 good enough quarter inch input "stereo" channels gives me all I need, good channel eq, the effects? Well, all I need is reverb, and that works fine. The slightest downside is the external transformer/power supply is kind of clunky, but I understand the reasons for making that choice. If that's too much of a bother for you, I get it, but I find it tolerable, and with the quality and cost, it's a good deal to me. ... More

Reviewed by GUSO on B&H Photo Video
This little mixer is fantastic! All he features of much more expensive stuff. All backed, of course with the legendary quality of Yamaha! The potentiometers (buttons, not sliders) are excellent quality, and the noise level is almost inexistent. The preamplifiers for microphones, (channels 1 to 4) ARE very, very low noise, and the effects on board are very satisfactory too. In resume, this mixer is a very good deal, buck for the bang.

Used for a simple home studio with guitar, bass, keyboards, mics, electronic drums.. I was shopping for separate recording interface and mixer with discrete stereo and monitor busses. Waffled on this and decided to try it for the price. I have had a few Yamaha mixers now, and the mixing function was as good as I expected, but the USB interface...I was expecting major latency and so-so quality; they didn't even include the USB cable, a real manual, or helpful info on how to get the interface going, as if it were an afterthought. Wow, the interface works great! I have it connected to a 1.8GHz i7 laptop using ASIO driver's, and it just works with barely noticeable delay. I'm diggin' it. ... More
Better than Audio Interfaces with similar budget
Yamaha MG10XU Analog Mixer
Reviewed by Woenkee S. on Reverb
I have experience to use Yamaha MG10 (without USB) before. I really loved the sound and the quality but to use USB feature, I had to move to USB audio interfaces. Finally, I just replaced my A/I for MG10XU (with USB). No background/hiss noise, pretty much well balanced sound. After I replaced my A/I to MG10XU, I couldn't stop enjoying the sound and go to bed. Just one thing is, still only two channels can be recorded at the same time which is not a problem to me.

Been a songwriter for the last five years or a touch more... finally decided to set myself up for gigging. Seeing I own some rather good ( expensive ) recording equipment, I figured I'd set myself up with the ability to gig as a guitar and vocalist... Problem is, it doesn't sound as good as my studio gear and I need all the help I can get. Let's be for sure. Yamaha has quality built equipment... it just didn't fit what I wanted. The "radio voice" lacked the sane radio voice on the boss ve-8... and the effects never did have a chance thereafter as I needed to have seperate controls with the guitar, compared to the vocals. Just not my fit. ... More

I use this mixer primarily for wedding receptions. There are enough inputs to run my acoustic guitar, vocal mic, wireless mic for toasts, and 2 laptops for dance music. I also dig the ability to run it into my computer for recording!

The bonus feature is the USB connection which is quite convenient for live streaming. I purchased this mixer originally for use in live performance with a small group, and it worked out great. Recently I've used it for connecting directly to an ipad, streaming on live media. It works great! I wanted to use mics vs the ipad internal mic and this mixer made that work easily. No separate audio interface needed.
Excellent Mixer

Reviewed by Gretchen E. on Reverb
The sound is far superior to the small Mackey mixer I was using. I love that it can work with either 1/4 inch, or XLR plugs. I use this for my string quartet, so there are 4 tracks that I use all the time. For me, the other 6 tracks are useless, and I wish that Yamaha had a mixer with the first four tracks of this mixer, and left off the other 6. However, those first 4 tracks have all the equalizing I need, and so I'm happy with the mixer. The effects are fun as well. My only concern is that the unit gets a bit warm. I hope that doesn't give me problems down the road. ... More

Great, solid mixer with good, clean pre-amps on the mic channels. Like some other reviewers have mentioned, this unit does get pretty hot during use, but it hasn't gotten to the point where it concerns me. I mostly use mine to boost signals into my Focusrite 2i2 interface, but I'm sure it'd do well in a live setting. Haven't tried the onboard effects yet. Nice to know they're there, as I've helped run DIY concerts where the band asked for "echo" or reverb, but I won't be heartbroken if I find out they aren't the best quality.

Good sounding board that works great for a small combo. We needed something compact, fast and easy to set up, with phantom power. We use 4 mics and 2 line inputs for acoustic guitar going out to a pair of QSC K10s. USB out is a useful feature, especially since live casting has become so common. The digital effects (reverb, etc,) sound good and add a little depth to the sound. Would I like more versatile EQ? Sure. A tunable feedback suppressor? Sure. A XLR monitor out? Sure? But for a mixer that comes in just a bit over $200, i will not complain, ... More

I paired this MG10XU with Sennheisers MKH-416 and the audio is truly amazing. Very small form factor makes this perfect for my small studio. Now as I grow, Ill be able to add more inputs. Its kind of like a Pelican case: buy a little bigger than you think you need.. youll grow into it. Super intuitive as well, only a few hours after unboxing I understood most of the controls. Perfect mixer for a newb!

This replaces a Soundcraft Notepad 8Fx for us. Aside from having more ports, the sound quality is superior. The mic/instrument inputs have tons of clean gain, and the effects sound good. I dont know how it will hold up in the long run, but the build quality is really good.

I got this to mix a mic for speaking/vocal (SM58), a couple of acoustic guitar mics and a digital piano for online music lessons. Really easy to do a "mix minus" via USB with my iPhone/iPad. It works great and was very easy to set up so that I get everything through headphones without re-sending the other party's input. I get a much better sound than trying to mic the piano live. I went with a few more channels than I needed so I can experiment with some live recording because it can double as a USB interface to DAW. ... More
