X-pressive EQ
X Marks the Spot
Everyone knows vintage EQ sounds great—but not everyone knows why. Throughout the development of
the innovative VCM (Virtual Circuit Modeling) effects used in our high-end professional digital mixers, we
became increasingly focused on reproducing the warmth and musicality of classic vintage EQs. It was
through our precise modeling of the original circuitry of some of the most sought-after EQ modules from the
past that we discovered a characteristic “X-shape” of the frequency curves that was unique to these units—
and would ultimately prove essential to unlocking real vintage authenticity. More than just a means of tweaking your mix,
the precise response and very steep shelving of the high and low frequencies make the X-pressive EQ a powerful
sound-shaping tool that essentially redefines the role that EQ plays in sound reinforcement. Never before has an audio
engineer's contribution to the overall sound been so significant, with X-pressive EQ providing complete control of every
aspect of your sonic palette.
The preamp is where sound creation begins, and ultimately determines the character and quality of your
overall mix. The importance of this critical first step inspired us to develop the most fat and warm sounding
preamps possible—our newly refined D-PRE mic preamps. Initially intended for use with Yamaha's high-end
recording gear, these studio-grade, discrete Class-A mic preamps employ an inverted Darlington circuit
design that features multiple circuitry elements in a multi-layered configuration in order to deliver more power
with lower impedance. This means all the character, depth and feel of your original signal will be delivered with fat, natural
sounding bass and smooth, soaring highs. Rediscover a favourite mic or trusted instrument by capturing the full range of
your musical expression with sound that you don't hear, so much as feel. With 48V phantom power for each channel and a
sound that is incomparable in a compact mixer today, these studio-grade discrete Class-A mic preamps set the MGP
apart, clearly defining a class all its own.
You can plug in with confidence in any region with 100V- 240V power thanks to our highly-efficient internal universal
power supply. With its multi-voltage design, the MGP ensures worry-free operation in potentially damaging environments
with fluctuating power levels. An Internal power supply also simplifies rack mounting of the console at installed
applications, with no use for a bulky adapter or additional connections.
1-Knob Compressors Internal Universal Power Supply
When it comes to audio engineering and sound reinforcement, the verdict is in—nothing beats the
warmth and musicality of analog sound. By incorporating state-of-the-art digital technologies
into the development process of our premium professional analog equipment, the MGP is the next
step in the evolution of compact professional mixers.
The Evolution of Analog
Originally a Yamaha innovation, 1-knob compression is now a popular feature on
an increasing number of compact mixing consoles with good reason. These
intelligent compressors add optimally set compression to a wide variety of input
sources with the touch of a single control—minus the hassle of setting up and
configuring complex outboard gear. The MGP features our newly upgraded
1-knob compressors that feature LED indicators allowing you to visually monitor when the
compression “kicks in” on each channel.
