By incorporating state-of-the-art digital technologies into the development process of Yamaha's premium professional analog equipment, the MGP is the next step in the evolution of compact professional mixers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eD-PRE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preamp is where sound creation begins, and ultimately determines the character and quality of the overall mix. The importance of this critical first step inspired Yamaha to develop the most fat and warm sounding preamps possible—Yamaha's 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 the 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 musical expression with sound that isn't heard so much as felt. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eX-pressive EQ\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEveryone knows vintage EQ sounds great—but not everyone knows why. Throughout the development of the innovative VCM (Virtual Circuit Modeling) effects used in Yamaha's high-end professional digital mixers, Yamaha became increasingly focused on reproducing the warmth and musicality of classic vintage EQs. It was through Yamaha's precise modeling of the original circuitry of some of the most sought-after EQ modules from the past that Yamaha 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 the 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e1-Knob Compressors\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally 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 Yamaha's newly upgraded 1-knob compressors that feature LED indicators allowing users to visually monitor when the compression “kicks in” on each channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInternal Universal Power Supply\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsers can plug in with confidence in any region with 100V-240V power thanks to Yamaha's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eA Revolution in Digital\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MGP is the realization of a new approach towards the utilization of digital technologies in a mixer, offering simple, analog-style control of sophisticated DSP functions. One of the most compelling features of analog gear is the direct, hands-on, intuitive operation that unites the operator with the console. The MGP sought to keep this feel consistent throughout the design to offer a wealth of functionality, yet with a simple, familiar touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHybrid Channel\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e40 years of experience working with professional mixers has led Yamaha to offer a new way of approaching sound reinforcement in the digital age: the Stereo Hybrid Channel. Beneath the analog-style knobs and encoders of MGP Series mixing consoles lies a sophisticated digital control system—a fusion that combines traditional analog feel with the functionality that only digital technology can offer. The MGP Series utilizes a powerful, proprietary DSP to provide three essential features that are staples of both installed and live sound applications. In keeping with the theme of analog simplicity found throughout the MGP Series design, each of these functions is readily accessible and available at the touch of a button. Featuring a mid-sweep, three-band EQ for nuanced sound control and high-performance onboard A\/D and D\/A converters, the Stereo Hybrid Channel offers unique functionality with superior sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePriority Ducker\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn invaluable feature for applications that require both public-speaking and background music, Priority Ducker allows a microphone to take priority over another sound source automatically, just by speaking into the mic. Stop talking and the other sound source is brought back to its original level, therefore no console operator is required for this simple yet valuable function. Users can even adjust the ducker attenuation of sound source depending on their preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLeveler\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis intelligent compressor “auto levels” different tracks from a sound source that vary in volume, providing a more pleasurable listening experience. Ideal for small events with un-manned operation of the console, Yamaha's proprietary DSP algorithm allows for extended play time without the worry of fluctuating volume levels distracting listeners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDual Digital Effects\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMGP Series mixing consoles offer two separate studio-grade effects processors for ultimate enhancement of sound, with simple intuitive control. Yamaha's high-end REV-X reverb offers three very musical and natural high-resolution reverb effects: Hall, Room and Plate—a first for any Yamaha analog mixer. For more sound-shaping possibilities, Yamaha's renowned SPX digital multi-effect processor provides a useful selection of 16 advanced digital effects with editable parameters. Both processors can be used simultaneously, giving users a vast array of tools to colour their sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGraphic EQ\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Graphic EQ feature 14 band and flex 9 band modes that can easily be controlled via internal display. This Flex EQ is also used in Yamaha’s pro-level CL series consoles. By limiting the number of bands for boost and cut, the extra DSP can be employed to narrow the filters to 1\/3 octave, and allow the user to sweep the filter to the range where adjustment is required. With 31 different filter positions, very fine adjustments can be made. Additionally, finding and reducing feedback is quick and easy using the offset\/gain controls to point out vulnerable frequencies before the feedback occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMulti-Band Compressor\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MGP32X A and MGP24X A are the first mixers in this class to be equipped with a master compressor on the stereo bus. Both a standard type (COMP) and a three-band divided (Multi-band) master compressor have been built in. Using a master compressor allows users to reduce the overall dynamic range of the signal to fit the environment, and protect the sound system from overloads. A total of 8 memory scenes (3 read only and 5 user defined) allow settings to easily be stored and recalled as needed quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUSB Device Recording and Playback\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's easy to archive every performance when recording is this easy. The record function allows direct recording to a conventional USB storage device. Choose from Stereo Out or Matrix Out 1 and 2 as the source, and select WAV or MP3 as file formats. Playback of audio files is also supported with the USB device. Users can easily route this to a hybrid channel or to monitor out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMixing Capability\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMixing Channels: 24 line inputs (16 mono and 4 stereo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroup: 4 GROUP buses + ST bus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAUX: 6 AUX sends + 2 FX sends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatrix: 1 matrix out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn-Board Processors: FX1 REV-X (8 programs, parameter control) \/ FX2 SPX (16 programs, parameter control)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInput and I\/O\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMic Inputs: 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput HPF: 100 Hz, 12 dB\/oct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhantom Power: 48 V per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine Inputs: 16 mono + 4 stereo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel Inserts: 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReturn: 1 stereo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital I\/O: USB device, iPod\/iPhone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeneral Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion: 0.02% (20 Hz-20 kHz @ +14 dBu)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: +0.5\/-1.0 dB, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, refer to the nominal output level @ 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent Input Noise: -128 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResidual Output Noise: -92 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrosstalk: -74 dB @ 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Requirements: 100-240 V, 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Consumption: 86 W max\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 819 mm \/ 32.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 169 mm \/ 6.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth: 565 mm \/ 22.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Weight: 15.5 kg \/ 34.2 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Yamaha\u003cbr\u003eModel: MGP24XA\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I945637-N-0-WHXC\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 889025177771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
