Yamaha MGX12 18-Channel Digital Mixing Console with Touchscreen, USB Audio Interface, Bluetooth, and Multitrack Recording

The Yamaha MGX12 18-Channel Digital Mixing Console delivers professional audio processing, flexible routing, and multitrack recording in a compact, portable design. Built for live sound, streaming, podcasting, content creation, and studio recording, the MGX12 combines an intuitive touchscreen interface with Yamaha digital mixing technology.

Its mixing architecture includes four mono input channels, four stereo input channels, a Sound Pad channel, and two FX return channels. Four combo microphone/line inputs, four TRS line inputs, and four RCA line inputs provide connectivity for microphones, instruments, playback devices, and other audio sources.

A 4.3-inch touchscreen, five control knobs, and non-motorized fader controls make it easy to manage levels, processing, routing, and scenes. Eight MIX buses, a stereo bus, and two FX buses support flexible signal distribution for monitors, effects, and production workflows.

The built-in DSP provides professional processing and low-latency monitoring. Features such as Auto Gain, Clip Safe, Simple and Standard operating modes, and Scene Recall help streamline setup and operation for both experienced engineers and users who want a more straightforward mixing workflow.

For recording and computer integration, the MGX12 features a USB MAIN connection supporting 18 inputs and 18 outputs at up to 32-bit/96 kHz, plus a separate USB SUB connection supporting 2 inputs and 2 outputs. Its microSD card recorder supports up to 16-track recording and two-track playback, while Bluetooth 5.0 provides convenient wireless audio input.

With four headphone outputs, six TRS outputs, two XLR main outputs, and included Steinberg software licenses, the Yamaha MGX12 is a versatile solution for portable production, live performance, recording, and digital content creation.
